Abstract

This article discusses the relationship between science and spirituality, aiming to explore whether they can serve as a bridge in the search for truth or instead act as a barrier. The background of this study focuses on the historical tension that often arises between science, which prioritizes empirical evidence, and spirituality, which is more subjective and belief-based. The research adopts a qualitative approach using content analysis, reviewing various relevant literatures to find common ground between these two fields. The findings suggest that, despite the existing tension, science and spirituality have the potential to complement each other in understanding the universe, life, and the meaning of existence. The main contribution of this article is offering a more inclusive perspective on the interaction between science and spirituality, which could foster more constructive dialogue between the two. Artikel ini membahas hubungan antara sains dan spiritualitas, dengan tujuan untuk menggali apakah keduanya dapat menjadi jembatan dalam pencarian kebenaran atau justru berfungsi sebagai penghalang. Latar belakang penelitian ini berfokus pada ketegangan historis yang sering terjadi antara sains yang mengutamakan bukti empiris dan spiritualitas yang lebih bersifat subjektif dan keyakinan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode analisis konten, yang mengkaji berbagai literatur terkait untuk menemukan titik temu antara kedua bidang ini. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun terdapat ketegangan, sains dan spiritualitas memiliki potensi untuk saling melengkapi dalam memahami alam semesta, kehidupan, dan makna eksistensi. Kontribusi utama artikel ini adalah menawarkan perspektif yang lebih inklusif mengenai interaksi antara sains dan spiritualitas, yang dapat membuka ruang untuk dialog yang lebih konstruktif antara keduanya.

Abstract

This article explores the significance of Psalm 22, particularly the poignant cry, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" and its theological implications, both within the context of the psalm itself and its fulfillment in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. By employing a theological-exegetical method, the study analyzes the psalm's literary structure and theological themes, particularly the expression of divine abandonment. The article then connects these themes to the Passion narratives in the New Testament, highlighting how Jesus' cry from the cross directly references and fulfills the prophetic words of Psalm 22. Furthermore, the paper incorporates insights from key theologians such as Bonhoeffer and Moltmann to explore the doctrine of a suffering God, emphasizing divine empathy in human suffering. The study extends to interfaith dialogue in Indonesia, examining how religious communities navigate social differences and contribute to fostering peace and tolerance through dialogue. By combining theological reflection with sociological analysis, the article underscores the importance of interfaith dialogue as a tool for promoting social cohesion and addressing religious intolerance. This paper contributes to both theological scholarship and interfaith studies by offering a comprehensive analysis of the intersection between suffering, redemption, and social harmony in the context of Psalm 22.
