Abstract

Religious life cannot be separated from society. As a religious institution, the church must impact society through concrete action. One of these approaches is through pastoral theology. This research aims to provide a methodological template for academics and churches, in particular, to use pastoral theology to analyze societal problems. This is necessary because some churches are still bound by dogmas that restrict the church’s role to “spiritual” matters rather than matters of concrete social concern. So, churches often distance themselves from the social theory approach in dissecting society's problems. The analytical tool used in this paper is the pastoral cycle method. A pastoral theological approach focuses on cases that have occurred or are currently occurring in society. This paper uses the case of food scarcity, namely cooking oil, which has occurred in Indonesia. The research results show that the social theological approach, which has been shunned by evangelical theology, can be used in dissecting and mapping social cases in society to contribute to the church in determining anticipatory steps and responding with concern to these social problems. Through this research, it can be concluded that the social function of the church as light and salt of the world can be achieved by using pastoral theology. The implications of this research will encourage churches to position themselves as government partners in realizing the achievement of SDG targets on the one hand and the other hand, provide new insight that pastoral theology does not only deal with “spiritual” (i.e., intangible) matters. It can be seen that a Biblical approach can be intertwined with social analysis for the purpose of social welfare.

Abstract

Abstrak Kitab Kejadian 1 dan 2 menyajikan narasi tentang penciptaan yang berbeda dan sering dijadikan bahan untuk mempertanyakan kredibilitas Alkitab. Betulkah kedua narasi itu berasal dari dua sumber yang berbeda? Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjawab pertanyaan tersebut dengan menggunakan pendekatan epistemologis, teori documentary hypotesis serta kritik teks dan sumber terhadap narasi tekstual Kejadian 1 dan 2. Diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa kedua teks sekalipun berbeda isi, komposisi dan gaya, tetapi menyajikan pesan teologis yang menyatu dan tidak saling bertentangan. Abstract The books of Genesis 1 and 2 present different narratives of creation and are often used as material to question the credibility of the Bible. Is it true that the two narratives come from two different sources? This research aims to answer this question by using an epistemological approach, documentary hypothesis theory as well as text and source criticism of the textual narratives of Genesis 1 and 2. The conclusion is that even though the two texts are different in content, composition and style, they present a theological message that is unified and not mutually exclusive. contradictory.

Abstract

Marriage in Nias included in a traditional marriage model heavily influenced by the Nias people's pre-Christian culture and the customary law called Fondrako. That is why the color of local wisdom in its implementation is evident, but it also becomes a syncretism whenever it intersects with religious teachings. The Nias marriage scheme is, and what kind of Fondrako customary law influences its implementation, and the theological reposition of religion in the traditional marriage system is the discussion and objectives of this paper.  The method used is a literature study with qualitative analysis, which utilizes primary sources about Nias from books and research results. Conclusion: the practice of marriage in Nias took place in three stages, namely the search for the bride and groom (famaigi ono alawe), engagement (fanunu manu), and the implementation of the marriage itself (falöwa). Cultural values in Nias weddings are still solid and practiced today. The church in Nias has succeeded in carrying out the spiritual inclusion of tribal religions into Christianity in marriage procedures. One of this research's contributions is the need for awareness for the new generation of Nias to realize the Nias marriage scheme in its philosophical values rather than rejecting it for complicated and burdensome procedural reasons. The Nias generation itself must defend this cultural wealth.Pernikahan di Nias termasuk dalam sebuah model perikahan adat yang sangat dipengaruhi oleh kebudayaan pra Kristen dan hukum adat yang disebut Fondrako. Itu sebabnya warna kearifan lokal di dalam penyelenggaraannya sangat kentara, tetapi juga menjadi sebuah sinkretisme manakala beririsan dengan ajaran agama. Bagaimana skema pernikahan Nias, dan seperti apa hukum adat Fondrako membawa pengaruh di dalam pelaksanaannya, serta reposisi teologis agama di dalam sistem adat pernikahan adalah pembahasan dan tujuan yang ingin dikemukakan di dalam paper ini. Metode yang dipergunakan adalah studi pustaka dengan analisis kualitatif, yang memanfaatkan sumber-sumber primer tentang Nias dari buku-buku dan hasil penelitian. Disimpulkan bahwa praktik pernikahan di Nias berlangsung di dalam tiga tahap yakni pencarian calon mempelai (famaigi ono alawe), pertunangan (fanunu manu) dan pelaksanaan pernikahan itu sendiri (falöwa). Nilai-nilai budaya di dalam pernikahan Nias masih sangat kental dan dipraktekkan hingga dewasa ini. Gereja di Nias berhasil pada batas-batas tertentu melakukan inklusi rohani dari agama suku kepada agama Kristen di dalam tata cara pernikahan. Salah satu kontribusi penelitian ini adalah, perlu kesadaran bagi generasi baru Nias untuk menyadari skema perkawinan Nias di dalam nilai filosofisnya daripada menolaknya karena alasan prosedural yang ribet dan membebani. Kekayaan budaya ini harus dipertahkan oleh generasi Nias sendiri.
