Abstract

This study investigates the interplay between Dani cultural values and Christian ethics, focusing on how contextual evangelism can be effectively implemented within the Dani community in Papua. Utilizing a qualitative approach with an ethnographic methodology, the research combines field observations and content analysis to explore the impact of traditional Dani beliefs, particularly those encapsulated in the Nabelan-Kabelan and Naruekul mythologies, on Christian ethics and practices. Field observations involve immersive engagement with the Dani people to understand their cultural practices and religious expressions, while content analysis of relevant literature provides a theoretical foundation for interpreting these practices within the context of Christian teachings. The findings reveal that traditional Dani beliefs present both challenges and opportunities for contextual evangelism, highlighting the need for a nuanced approach that respects cultural values while introducing Christian ethics. The study concludes with recommendations for effective evangelistic strategies that integrate cultural insights with biblical teachings to foster ethical transformation and spiritual growth within the Dani community.

The study underscores the distinctive character of Christian public theology as an authentic and contextual agent of transformation, upholding the integrity of the Gospel message.

Abstract

Abstract:This study investigates the interwoven dimensions of prophetic spirituality, ministry, and the proclamation of tiqvah le-mashiach (תִּקְוָה לַמָּשִׁיחַ)—the hope of the Messiah—within the theological framework of the Hebrew Scriptures. It examines how prophetic experiences, such as divine visions and vocational struggles, shaped their roles as mediators of God's will and as heralds of justice, repentance (teshuvah / תְּשׁוּבָה), and covenant renewal. Through a qualitative and hermeneutical approach, the research engages in a theological analysis of selected prophetic texts, particularly from the books of Isaiah (Yeshayahu / יְשַׁעְיָהוּ) and Jeremiah (Yirmeyahu / יִרְמְיָהוּ), uncovering a rich spiritual tradition grounded in unwavering obedience, moral reform, and eschatological hope. The findings reveal that prophetic spirituality was not an isolated religious experience but a deeply embodied response to divine calling, marked by a commitment to mishpat (מִשְׁפָּט – justice), chesed (חֶסֶד – steadfast love), and tsedeq (צֶדֶק – righteousness). The Messianic prophecies articulated by the prophets are shown to be both historically situated and theologically enduring, expressing a vision of restoration, sacrificial leadership, and divine sovereignty. This study contributes to ongoing theological discourse by emphasising the enduring relevance of prophetic witness and offering a framework for integrating spirituality, ministry, and eschatology in contemporary faith contexts. Its distinctive contribution lies in its integrative theological reflection, which views prophetic ministry as a model for transformative spiritual engagement.

Abstract

Artikel ini mengeksplorasi Yohanes 1:14 sebagai dasar bagi konstruksi teologi traumatik dalam perspektif biblikal. Penelitian dilakukan melalui pendekatan kualitatif-teologis dengan metode eksegetikal dan analisis tematis. Frasa "Firman telah menjadi daging dan berkemah di antara kita" dipahami sebagai pernyataan inkarnasional tentang solidaritas ilahi dalam penderitaan manusia. Trauma dipahami bukan hanya sebagai fenomena psikologis, melainkan sebagai akibat eksistensial dari dosa yang membelah tatanan ciptaan. Dalam terang Kristus yang menderita namun menebus, artikel ini mengajukan bahwa Allah hadir aktif dalam realitas luka manusia. Gereja dipanggil menjadi perpanjangan kehadiran ilahi tersebut, bukan hanya bersimpati, tetapi membawa pemulihan melalui Injil. Artikel ini menawarkan novelty dengan menempatkan inkarnasi sebagai pusat penyembuhan trauma secara teologis-pastoral dalam dunia pasca-traumatik. Kata Kunci: Inkarnasi, Anugerah, Dosa, Teologi Traumatik, Restorasi
