Abstract

Christian theology in the postmodern era faces significant challenges driven by relativism, pluralism, and secularism, as well as the rapid advancement of digital technology. This study aims to examine the contextualisation of Christian theology in response to the dynamics of popular culture, focusing on the application of relevant theology in the virtual world without compromising the principles of the Gospel. The method employed is content analysis of both classical and contemporary theological literature. The findings of the research indicate that digital technology can be utilised by the Church to build an inclusive and transformative faith community while maintaining the integrity of Christian teachings. This study reveals the importance of contextualising theology in the digital realm, which not only addresses the challenges of the present age but also responds to the spiritual needs of postmodern society, creating space for a more relevant, Christ-centred Church mission.

Abstract

This article analyses the Exodus as a manifestation of the missio Dei that reveals God’s theology of liberation within salvation history. Employing a qualitative method through content analysis of biblical texts, this study highlights God’s actions of “seeing” (r?’? r?’îtî), “hearing” (š?ma‘tî), “knowing” (y?da‘tî), and “coming down” (y?radtî lehatsîl?m) to deliver His people from Egyptian oppression (Exod. 3:7–8). These actions demonstrate that mission originates from God’s own initiative, grounded in love, justice, and faithfulness to the berith (covenant). The findings indicate that liberation in the Exodus is holistic in nature, encompassing spiritual, social, ethical, and ecological dimensions. The contemporary Church is called to participate in the missio Dei by embodying signs of the Kingdom of God through authentic worship, social justice, and the restoration of creation. Abstrak Artikel ini menganalisis Exodus sebagai manifestasi missio Dei yang menyingkap teologi pembebasan Allah dalam sejarah keselamatan. Melalui metode kualitatif dengan analisis isi teks biblis, penelitian ini menyoroti tindakan Allah yang “melihat” (r?’? r?’îtî), “mendengar” (š?ma‘tî), “mengetahui” (y?da‘tî), dan “turun” (y?radtî lehatsîl?m) untuk membebaskan umat-Nya dari penindasan Mesir (Kel. 3:7–8). Tindakan tersebut menunjukkan bahwa misi berasal dari inisiatif Allah yang berakar pada kasih, keadilan, dan kesetiaan terhadap berith (perjanjian). Temuan penelitian menegaskan bahwa pembebasan dalam Exodus bersifat holistik—mencakup dimensi spiritual, sosial, etis, dan ekologis. Gereja masa kini dipanggil berpartisipasi dalam missio Dei dengan mewujudkan tanda-tanda Kerajaan Allah melalui ibadah sejati, keadilan sosial, dan pemulihan ciptaan.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the significance of Christ's humility and sacrifice, particularly through His emptying and death on the cross, and its implications in alleviating interpersonal and social conflicts. Adopting a qualitative approach, the study employs literature review and content analysis methods to examine biblical texts, theological works, and modern theories on conflict and reconciliation. The research focuses on how the principles of Christ's humility and sacrifice, exemplified in His self-emptying action to serve humanity, can be applied to resolve conflicts and restore relationships between individuals. The findings of this study indicate that Christ's teachings provide a relevant model for reconciliation and peacebuilding, both in personal life and on a broader social scale. The novelty of this research lies in linking the theological values of Christ with contemporary conflict resolution theories, offering new insights into the role of humility and sacrifice in addressing social tensions. This study contributes to understanding the relevance of Christ's teachings in the context of current conflicts.

Abstract

Artikel ini merupakan Studi Mengenai Implementasi Pendekatan Proses Pembelajaran dan Metode-metode Pembelajaran Pendidikan Kristen Anak Usia Dini. Di dalamnya, peneliti mengungkapkan mengenai pentingnya pelayanan Pendidikan Kristen kepada anak-anak usia dini sebagaimana kepada orang-orang dewasa. Oleh karena Alkitab menyatakan bahwa anak-anak adalah subyek pelayanan dan masa yang menentukan dalam pengenalan akan Tuhan dan pertumbuhan iman menuju masa dewasa. Dalam dunia pendidikan, kategori anak usia dini adalah masa usia emas (golden age) untuk menanamkan nilai-nilai rohani dan pembentukan karakter serta memperkenalkan mereka dengan pengetahuan dan keterampilan dengan sederhana. Studi ini diawali dengan paparan sekilas dalam bagian pendahuluan mengenai hasil kajian Alkitab (hermeneutika Alkitab) mengenai pendidikan anak usia dini, baik dari Perjanjian Lama maupun Perjanjian Baru. Kemudian dilanjutkan dengan paparan sekilas dalam pendahuluan juga mengenai hasil kajian teoritis yang menelaah dengan fokus masalah penelitian dari tesis ini yakni pendekatan proses pembelajaran dan metode-metode pembelajaran terhadap anak usia dini. Adapun penelitian empiris dalam penelitian ini dilakukan pada satuan pendidikan KBTRI dan TK Ceria Terpadu PESAT Wamena untuk memperoleh gambaran mengenai relevansi pendekatan proses pembelajaran dan metode-metode pembelajaran dengan mengumpulkan data-data yang diperoleh melalui pengamatan dan wawancara terhadap dinamika pembelajaran di kelas antara guru dan murid. Adapun penelitian dalam artikel ini dilakukan dengan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus yang dibangun dari penelitian literatur, dalam hal ini literatur mengenai kajian Alkitab dan kajian teoritis yang berkaitan dengan pendidikan Kristen anak usia dini serta penelitian empiris yaitu pengamatan lapangan yang dilakukan dengan metode pengamatan partisipan dan wawancara yang dilaksanakan tahun 2016 pada lokus penelitian. Hasil studi memperlihatkan bahwa pendekatan proses pembelajaran maupun metode-metode pembelajaran PAK yang relevan terhadap anak usia dini tidak sekedar mengikuti teori-teori pembelajaran sekuler yang cenderung menekankan pengetahuan dan ketrampilan seorang guru/pendidik, kurikulum dan bahan pelajaran atau sarana yang canggih serta fasilitas belajar yang memadai melainkan penting sekali adanya dasar-dasar Firman Tuhan (Alkitab) yang menjadi pedoman utama. Hasil studi ini juga memperlihatkan adanya dua pendekatan proses pembelajaran yakni dari golongan interaksionisme dan kategorial yang masing-masing berorientasi kepada anak sebagai subyek pendidikan serta bermacam-macam metode pembelajaran yang menekankan peran anak untuk memahami, menangkap dan mengetahui apa yang hendak diajarkan oleh guru terhadap mereka. Hal ini yang nampak dan efektif dalam penelitian empiris terhadap KBTRI dan TK Ceria Terpadu Wamena, Papua, setidaknya dalam kurun waktu tahun 2016.

Abstract

Abstract. Gender inequality is a complex issue involving biological, cultural, social, and theological dimensions. This study examines the biblical-theological foundation for restoring gender equality based on the continuity of the narrative of creation, the fall, and redemption in Christ. Using a literature study method, an analysis was conducted of biblical texts, systematic theology literature, and contemporary socio-cultural studies. The result of the study indicate that humans were created equal as the imago Dei, but the fall brought relational distortions that gave rise to gender injustice. True restoration is only possible through Christ's redemption, which opens up space for holistic discipleship as an ethical and transformative strategy.Abstrak. Ketidaksetaraan gender merupakan isu kompleks yang melibatkan dimensi biologis, kultural, sosial, dan teologis. Penelitian ini menelaah fondasi biblika-teologis bagi pemulihan kesetaraan gender berdasarkan kesinambungan narasi penciptaan, kejatuhan, dan penebusan dalam Kristus. Dengan metode studi kepustakaan, analisis dilakukan terhadap teks Alkitab, literatur teologi sistematik, serta kajian sosial-kultural kontemporer. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa manusia diciptakan setara sebagai imago Dei, tetapi kejatuhan membawa distorsi relasional yang melahirkan ketidakadilan gender. Pemulihan hakiki hanya dimungkinkan melalui penebusan Kristus, yang membuka ruang bagi pemuridan holistik sebagai strategi etis dan transformatif.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of Christian public theology in advancing social transformation, with particular emphasis on social justice, intercommunal solidarity, and sustainable development. Employing a qualitative methodology grounded in critical literature review, the research explores the engagement of public theology with the prevailing contexts of multiculturalism, globalisation, and popular culture. The findings reveal that public theology functions as a vital bridge between Christian faith—which proclaims Jesus Christ as the sole Saviour and restorer of creation—and tangible societal change within both private and public spheres. 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

This article examines the Christian paradigm concerning the essence and existence of character in education, focusing on the transformation of learning from the Renaissance era to the 21st century. The study reveals philosophical reflections on contemporary education, the role of educators as parental figures in shaping students' character, and the qualifications of an educator’s character from a Biblical perspective. 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. Educators are expected to apply ethics and morals in teaching to guide students in becoming individuals who are not only intellectually capable but also morally responsible and dedicated to serving society. This study offers practical guidance for educators in integrating Christian values into the educational process.

Abstract

Mission theology in the New Testament presents a transformative and inclusive understanding, which is not merely confined to the dissemination of faith teachings, but also as an active participation in the work of God's salvation revealed through Jesus Christ. The mission of Christ brings salvation that embraces all people, irrespective of ethnicity, gender, or social status. Through the early church, this mission developed into a universal calling leading to liberation and social reconciliation. This study aims to uncover the transformative and inclusive dimensions in New Testament mission theology, as well as its relevance for Christian service to contemporary society. The findings indicate that Christian mission should encompass social empowerment, justice, and tangible acts of love in service to the community, as a concrete testimony to the Kingdom of God.
