Abstract

This article describes John Calvin, the second generation of reformers in church history or Christian history who systematized reform theology through his theological movements and thoughts. This description is based on randomly selected literature reviews that study the life of John Calvin and his theological thoughts that focus on the sovereignty of the Triune God over all His creation. The specialty of Calvin's thought also lies in the integrity and integration between abstract theology and holistic spirituality. Therein lies the strength of the church which must continue to be reformed, namely the supremacy of God's sovereignty and integrative theology-spirituality which is the legacy of John Calvin which should be actualized and continuous in the procession of the church in its historical course.

Abstract

Penelitian ini memiliki tujuan utama untuk mengidentifikasi dan mengatasi tantangan yang muncul dalam diskursus teologi formasi spiritualitas Kristen melalui analisis literatur dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif dan pendekatan content analysis. Fokus utama penelitian adalah pemahaman pertumbuhan rohani sebagai perjalanan menuju kedewasaan spiritual. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut, peneliti mengeksplorasi peran kunci elemen-elemen seperti peristiwa kelahiran kembali, signifikansi Firman Allah, praktik disiplin rohani, dan pertumbuhan dalam konteks komunitas gereja, yang semuanya merupakan anugerah Allah saja. Melalui identifikasi, seleksi, dan analisis literatur yang relevan, khususnya buku-buku yang membahas formasi spiritualitas secara teologis, penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan content analysis untuk mengkategorikan dan menganalisis pola-pola makna terkait dengan teologi formasi spiritualitas Kristen. Temuan utama dari penelitian ini mengungkapkan aspek-aspek penting pertumbuhan rohani, seperti peran sentral Firman Allah, praktik disiplin rohani, dan pertumbuhan dalam konteks komunitas gereja. Lebih lanjut, temuan penelitian ini memberikan gambaran bahwa pertumbuhan rohani bukan hanya sebuah konsep teologis, tetapi juga memiliki implikasi praktis yang signifikan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari individu Kristen. Kesadaran diri dan hambatan-hambatan utama dalam pertumbuhan rohani menjadi fokus utama hasil penelitian ini. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini tidak hanya memberikan kontribusi teoretis terhadap diskursus teologi formasi spiritualitas Kristen, tetapi juga memberikan wawasan praktis yang dapat membimbing individu Kristen dalam perjalanan pertumbuhan rohani mereka, terutama pada era kontemporer yang penuh dengan tantangan.

Abstract

This article describes the implementation of contextual theology models as transculturation contextualization of the evangelism to the Tugutil ethnic in Halmahera, North Maluku. The research was carried out using a qualitative ethnographic type approach built by literature studies on elements in local theology which include the inculturation of belief in God, man, sin and salvation. The purpose of this research is to formulate models of contextual theology that are relevant to the Tugutil ethnicity by utilizing their local theology. The results of this study show that there are elements of local theology of the Tugutil people who are "relatively close" so that they can be “meted” with the teachings of the Bible through functional substitute or re-culturation. In addition, there are also elements that are "relatively distant" from the teachings of the Bible, so they must experience worldview substitute or de-culturation. The final results of this study show that by examining, identifying and analyzing elements of local theology adhered to by the Tugutil ethnicity, it is possible to find similarities (potentials and opportunities) as well as differences (crises) between the teachings of the Bible and their animist-dynamism beliefs. This makes it possible to carry out a contextual evangelistic approach by implementing certain contextual theological models as transculturation.

Methodologically, the study involves a close textual analysis of the Book of Ruth, employing a theological lens to interpret God's message of steadfast love. The findings reveal a profound understanding of God's inclusive and universal Hesed, with implications extending into the New Testament through the actions of Jesus Christ. This underscores the significance of God's unwavering love as a guiding principle in our relationships with both God and fellow humans, shaping a life reflective of the values encapsulated in Hesed.
