The research methodology involves a study of Biblical texts and a qualitative content analysis approach applied to relevant literature. The findings underscore the importance of the life example, service, and teachings of Jesus Christ in shaping character aligned with Christian values in education.

Abstract

This article explores creation and the theology of the God-Humanity-Creation relationship in the Old Testament, highlighting key elements such as the theology of perichoresis, the origin of the human body from the earth (adamah, אֲדָמָה), and the state of creation before and after humanity’s fall. It also examines the consequences of communal transgression and God's promise of restoration. By employing qualitative hermeneutical methods through biblical text analysis and theological literature studies, this study affirms that the work of restoration is a divine initiative aimed at re-establishing harmonious relationships between humanity, creation, and the Creator. This research offers new insights into the significance of restoration within the framework of creation and humanity’s responsibility as stewards of creation, while also presenting hope for the renewal of all creation. The conclusion of this study emphasises that the restoration of the God-Humanity-Creation relationship in the Old Testament is a divine initiative intended to restore the harmony of creation following humanity’s fall. By highlighting the concept of the theology of perichoresis, the origin of humanity from the earth (אֲדָמָה, adamah), and the impact of the fall on creation, this research asserts that restoration is not merely a promise but an ongoing part of God’s plan. Moreover, this study underscores humanity’s role as stewards of creation and provides theological insights into the hope of renewal for all creation in light of God’s redemptive work.

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.
