Abstract

The phenomenon of religious conversion can incite fear and prejudice against other religions, particularly those exhibiting radical moments and movements. Within the diverse context of Indonesia, the multifaceted yet deeply personal dimensions of such radical religious conversions invite further examination. A prominent historical figure who experienced such a radical religious conversion was Paul the Apostle. This article considers the text of Acts 9:1-19, which narrates his mystical encounter with Jesus while on the way to persecute the primitive Christian community in Damascus. It then moves to consider the mystical notion of Wahdat al-Adyan, or the Unity of Religions, as articulated centuries later by the Sufi mystic, Al-Hallaj (858-922 CE). My aim is to propose a theology of perennial religious conversion, or considering the religious conversion as a mystical, esoteric, and syncretic event. To do this, I adopt a perennialist philosophy as my primary framework for exploring the phenomenon of religious conversion. Informed by one of the religious conversion aspect of the Christian New Testament and mystical Islamic teachings, the multi-faith hermeneutic I construct provides opportunities to understand a given sacred text (Christianity) from the perspective of another religious tradition (Islam), thereby yielding a theology of religious conversion that is deeply relevant given Indonesia’s diversity.

Abstract

During the high and rapid digital freedom in Indonesia, there is a problem related to ethical matters that is the poor level of digital decency. This article attempts to offer an ethical perspective based on a hermeneutic study of the biblical text. The text analysed is First Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians (1 Cor. 8:9 & 10:29). In 1 Corinthians 8:9 Paul speaks of the freedom of responsibility that the “strong” needs to show to the “weak.” In 1 Corinthians 10:29 the issue of suneidesis (conscience) is the core idea, namely that one needs to pay attention to the conscience of another in all the freedoms they have. The results of the existing interpretations create a theological-ethical construction in the freedom to interact digitally that can be applied multi-religiously in Indonesia. [Di tengah tinggi dan pesatnya kebebasan digital masyarakat Indonesia terselip masalah yang bersangkut paut dengan hal etis, yakni tingkat kesopanan digitalnya yang paling buruk. Artikel ini berusaha menawarkan suatu perspektif etis yang didasarkan pada studi hermeneutik atas teks Kitab Suci. Teks yang dianalisa ialah Pesan Paulus kepada Jemaat Korintus (1 Kor. 8:9 & 10:29). Di 1 Korintus 8:9 Paulus berbicara tentang kebebasan bertanggung jawab yang perlu diperagakan oleh ‘golongan kuat’ terhadap ‘golongan lemah.’ Sedangkan di 1 Korintus 10:29 hal mengenai suneidesis (hati nurani) adalah gagasan intinya, yakni ketika seseorang perlu memperhatikan hari nurani orang lain di dalam segala kebebasan yang ia miliki. Hasil tafsir menawarkan suatu perspektif teologis-etis dalam kebebasan berinteraksi secara digital yang bisa diterapkan secara multi-religius di Indonesia.]
