Abstract

This research wants to develop learning media for Sunday school children who seem conventional towards digital by using Book Creator. This development arose due to the need to keep up with the times, create child-friendly churches, and maintain the quality of teaching to Sunday school children. However, churches tend to be lacking in preparing the quality of Sunday school learning media. The author observes that these problems can be overcome by developing learning media that suit the needs of Sunday school children. By paying attention to the needs of Sunday school children inseparable from the principles of theology in it, book creators are very appropriate in assisting educators to prepare quality learning. The hypothesis proposed is the basis of children's theology on Sunday school teaching materials and developing book creator-based Sunday school children's learning media so that they can produce ready-to-use digital products. The results show that teaching materials tend to be good theologically, and teaching materials need to be developed into book creators, so that educators can improve competence and students can understand God's Word through the use of technology. In the development stage, product validation results based on material, media, and language experts showed an average of 87.6% with the category "very feasible". The methodology used is Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation (ADDIE) using qualitative and quantitative research in each specified stage.

Abstract

AbstractThe purpose of this writing is to promote the commandment of loving others as the theological foundation underlying the praxis of religious moderation. The method used is library research, with a descriptive analysis approach to various reference sources. This research resulted in findings on the importance of living the commandment “love your neighbor as yourself” and making it a lifestyle or lifestyle (daily action). This study confirms that the implementation of religious moderation can begin with a correct theological understanding of moderation, because a correct understanding of the theological basis of religious moderation will encourage moderate behavior. Christianity teaches the law of love which emphasizes the balance of people’s relationships with God and others. Loving God is proven by loving other to the same standard as loving himself. This balance is the basic principle of religious moderation. The teaching of love is also emphasized in the golden rules of love with the principle of solidarity. AbstrakTujuan penulisan ini adalah untuk mengedepankan perintah mengasihi sesama sebagai landasan teologis yang melandasi praksis moderasi beragama. Metode yang digunakan dalam kajian ini adalah penelitian kepustakaan, dengan pendekatan analisis deskriptif terhadap berbagai sumber referensi. Penelitian ini menghasilkan temuan tentang pentingnya menjalankan perintah “mengasihhi sesama seperti diri sendiri” dan menjadikannya sebagai gaya hidup atau lifestyle (tindakan sehari-hari). Kajian ini menegaskan bahwa penerapan moderasi beragama dapat dimulai dari pemahaman teologis moderasi beragama dengan benar, sebab pemahaman yang benar terhadap landasan teologis moderasi beragama akan mendorong perilaku moderat. Agama Kristen mengajarkan hukum kasih yang menekankan pada keseimbangan hubungan manusia dengan Tuhan dan sesama. Mencintai Tuhan dibuktikan dengan mencintai sesama sama seperti mencintai diri sendiri. Keseimbangan inilah yang menjadiprinsip dasar moderasi beragama. Ajaran cinta juga ditekankan pada hukum emas dengan prinsip solidaritas.
