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

Commitment in the organization consists of three, namely affective commitment, continuous commitment, and normative commitment. This commitment can develop with training in professionalism and the planting of Christian values. This study aims to see the extent to which organizational commitment is practice in a Christian foundation by leaders who are directly responsible for running the organization and to find out what spiritual value is the most active form of that commitment. The study was conducted quantitatively using a questionnaire as a data collector. Data is processed to find the position of the confidence interval values in the interval class (high, medium and low). The results of the study show that the dominant commitment affecting unit leaders at the foundation is a continuous commitment which in a biblical perspective is called a hired servant. AbstrakKomitmen di dalam organisasi terdiri dari tiga yakni komitmen afektif, komitmen kontinuans dan komitmen normatif. Komitmen ini dapat dikembangkan dengan pelatihan profesionalisme dan penanaman nilai-nilai kristiani. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat sejauh mana komitmen organisasi dipraktekan di dalam sebuah yayasan Kristen oleh para pemimpin yang bertanggung jawab langsung dalam menjalankan roda organisasi dan untuk menemukan nilai rohani apa yang paling kuat membentuk komitmen tersebut. Penelitian dilakukan secara kuantitatif menggunakan angket sebagai pengumpul data. Data diolah untuk menemukan posisi nilai interval kepercayaan di dalam klas interval (tinggi, sedang dan rendah). Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan, bahwa komitmen yang dominan mempengaruhi para pemimpin unit di yayasan tersebut adalah komitmen kontinuans yang dalam perspektif Alkitabiah disebut sebagai hamba upahan.

Abstract

This paper aims to prove that the manifestation of God's presence in the Old Testament (OT) is not something final. The climax of God's presence among His people is seen in the coming of Jesus into the world through the incarnation. Through this paper, it is explained that even though God is transcendent in Christian theology, He is also immanent at the same time. God's transcendence cannot be separated from his immanent nature and vice versa. The main data used in this research is through a literature review. The results obtained from the literature review were compiled through the Integrative Critical Analysis (ICA) approach to meet the research objectives. The main conclusion is, theologically, the Christian is the abode of the true God.

Abstract

This study analyzes cases of adultery in the Bible between David, the King of Israel, and Bathsheba, the wife of one of his officers. The approach taken for analysis is a mixed narrative analysis with psychology and sociology perspectives. However, the theological frame remains the mainframe in the discussion, especially in finding the motive behind Bathsheba's desire to grant all of David's requests. The result is the conclusion that this narrative should not stop after sin and adultery. Without realizing it, both Bathsheba and David turned out to be in a divine setting that it could only read in the ending of the New Testament, where the descendants of David and Bathsheba became an essential element in the lineage of Judah that gave birth to Jesus the Messiah.
