Abstract

This study examines leadership in the Old Testament narrative, focusing on the dynamic tension between divine calling and the crisis of human authority within the framework of God’s sovereignty. Employing a narrative hermeneutic method, the analysis centres on key leadership texts featuring figures such as Jacob, Moses, Gideon, Ruth, David, and King Uzziah, aiming to elucidate how leadership authority is established, challenged, and at times compromised by human ambition. The findings reveal that leadership in the Old Testament is fundamentally a form of stewardship grounded in faithfulness to God’s holiness and submission to His sovereign will, while simultaneously confronting the persistent human tendency towards domination and self-assertion. This study highlights that the successes and failures of these leaders reflect the ongoing tension between divine will and human aspiration, offering pertinent insights for contemporary understandings of leadership within spiritual and ethical contexts. The novelty of this research lies in its comprehensive thematic integration of leadership narratives within the Old Testament tradition, contributing significantly to both theological discourse and practical leadership studies.AbstrakPenelitian ini mengkaji kepemimpinan dalam narasi Perjanjian Lama dengan fokus pada dinamika antara panggilan ilahi dan krisis otoritas manusia dalam konteks kedaulatan Allah. Metode hermeneutik naratif digunakan untuk menganalisis teks-teks sentral, termasuk narasi kepemimpinan tokoh-tokoh seperti Yakub, Musa, Gideon, Rut, Daud, dan Raja Uzia, guna memahami bagaimana otoritas kepemimpinan dibangun, diuji, dan terkadang gagal akibat ambisi manusia. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa kepemimpinan dalam Perjanjian Lama adalah sebuah pelayanan yang bersandar pada kesetiaan kepada kekudusan Allah dan ketundukan pada kedaulatan-Nya, sekaligus menghadapi tantangan dari kecenderungan manusia untuk menguasai dan mendominasi. Studi ini menegaskan bahwa keberhasilan maupun kegagalan para pemimpin tersebut merefleksikan ketegangan antara kehendak ilahi dan aspirasi manusiawi, yang relevan bagi pemahaman kepemimpinan kontemporer dalam konteks spiritual dan etika. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada integrasi tematik narasi kepemimpinan secara holistik dalam tradisi Perjanjian Lama, memberikan kontribusi teologis dan praktis yang signifikan untuk diskursus kepemimpinan masa kini.

Abstract

This study investigates the interplay between the folk religion of the Dani people in Baliem Village, Papua, and its potential to inform a local theology that supports contextual ministry. By applying an ethnotheological framework, the research examines how Dani cultural and religious beliefs—particularly those enshrined in the Nabelan-Kabelan and Naruekul mythologies—can serve as a foundation for contextual evangelism. Through qualitative methods, including ethnographic fieldwork and content analysis of relevant literature, this study identifies key elements of Dani folk religion that either hinder or facilitate the integration of Christian teachings within Dani society. The findings highlight the intricate relationship between indigenous spirituality and Christian ethics, suggesting that a contextualised approach to ministry is crucial for effective evangelism among the Dani people. The paper concludes by offering recommendations for the development of contextual ministry strategies that engage with the Dani’s cultural and theological worldview.

Abstract

This study examines the meaning of Christmas from a biblical perspective and explores how its values can be lived out and proclaimed daily by believers. Christmas is often observed as an annual tradition without a profound understanding of the incarnation of Christ and the fulfilment of God's promise of salvation. The research employs biblical hermeneutics, utilising an expository approach and thematic analysis of Old and New Testament texts. The findings reveal that Christmas affirms Jesus as the HaMoshia (Saviour), reflects the paradox of the Kingdom of God, and serves as a call to proclaim the Gospel. In conclusion, Christmas is not merely an annual celebration but a summons to live in the light of Christ and to proclaim the message of salvation to the world each day.

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.
