Abstract

Among the Pentecostal / Charismatic circles, a distinctive hermeneutic understanding has developed, which Menzies wrote in his book: This story is our story. This means an understanding that the story of the early church that we read in the Acts of the Apostles is also the story of the churches today in various places, which also experienced various pressures and persecutions. This is especially so in Iran and China, but what is strange is that the seeds of God's Word, which seemed to fall on rocky ground, did not immediately die out, but instead found unique ways to grow. This article notes some things that churches in other places need to listen to and learn about their tenacity and perseverance and zeal. In the second part, the authors present a graph model to understand church growth as an endogenous process. We hope that these observations and mathematical models are useful for church leaders in developing a more dynamic ecclesiology.

Abstract

Buku ini membahas perkembangan diskursus teologi agama-agama dalam kurun waktu sekitar 5-7 dekade terakhir, mulai dari Karl Barth, Moltmann, Pannenberg hingga penulis yang lebih kemudian seperti Heim. Di sinilah letak kekuatan buku ini.Namun juga di situlah kelemahannya, kalau boleh disebut demikian, yakni buku ini lebih cenderung melibatkan diskusi tersebut dari sudut pandang akademisi/teolog, artinya kurang melibatkan pandangan dari para misionaris yang juga menggumuli topik-topik perjumpaan lintas agama.

Abstract

Meski banyak orang, bahkan orang Kristen, menyangkal kuasa iblis, namun demikian toh tidak dapat disangkal bahwa berbagai masalah yang berhubungan dengan satanisme, pemujaan setan, gereja setan dsb. telah menjadi bagian dari kesadaran banyak umat percaya sehari-hari. Bahkan praktek pengusiran setan telah dikenal di lingkungan gereja sejak berabad-abad silam menurut S. Kyle Johnson dari Boston College.

Abstract

Abstract The present article is intended for really devout Christians. Many Christian men andwomen often ask deep in their heart, how they can do their best to please Father inHeaven. There are guides on how to worship God, to dedicate their bodies and work,but how shall we glorify God with our hair? For women, there is a hint that we canfind in St. Paul’s letters to Corinthians: but are there guides for devout men? It turnsout that is quite delicate matter to discuss. Moreover, as we discussed in a recentpaper in this journal, there is limitation of Aristotelian logic to grasp spiritual termssuch as Trinity or Manunggaling Kawula Gusti in Javanese term. Now, allow us toemphasize the same point using non-Aristotelian logic and non-Diophantinearithmetics. In that sense, spiritual realms go beyond what science cannot go. In thelast section, we will discuss shortly on possible implications of worshiping God in theSpirit and the Truth.   Abstrak Artikel ini ditujukan untuk orang Kristen yang benar-benar taat. Banyak pria danwanita Kristen sering menanyakan jauh di lubuk hati mereka: bagaimana kami dapat melakukan yang terbaik untuk menyenangkan Bapa di Surga? Ada panduan tentang bagaimana menyembah Tuhan, untuk mendedikasikan tubuh dan pekerjaan mereka, tetapi bagaimana kita akan memuliakan Tuhan dengan rambut kita? Untuk para wanita, memang ada petunjuk yang dapat ditemukan dalam surat Rasul Paulus kepada jemaat Korintus: tetapi apakah ada panduan untuk kaum pria? Ternyata hal ini merupakan masalah yang cukup rumit untuk dibahas. Selain itu, seperti yang penulis bahas baru-baru ini dalam jurnal ini, terdapat  keterbatasan logika Aristotelian untuk memahami istilah-istilah spiritual seperti Trinitas atau Manunggaling Kawula Gusti dalam istilah Jawa. Sekarang, izinkan penulis untukmenyampaikan hal yang sama, namun dengan menggunakan logika non-Aristotelian dan non-Diophantine aritmatika. Dalam pengertian itu, alam spiritual melampaui apa yang tidak bisa dicapai oleh sains. Dalam bagian terakhir, kita akan membahas secara singkat tentang kemungkinan implikasi dari menyembah Tuhan di Roh dan Kebenaran.

Abstract

Dalam artikel ini penulis mengajukan argumen sanggahan di antaranya terhadap pandangan Robert Eisenman dalam bukunya James the Brother of Jesus, khususnya yang berkaitan dengan identifikasi Eisenman bahwa Guru Kebenaran yang disebut dalam naskah Pesher Habakuk adalah Yakobus saudara Yesus (James the Just) dan Manusia Pendusta adalah Rasul Paulus. Cukup banyak kontroversi di seputar siapakah identitas Manusia Pendusta dalam DSS atau yang kerap dikenal sebagai naskah-naskah Qumran, salah satu hipotesis yang diajukan oleh salah seorang ahli Qumran, yakni Robert Eisenman, cukup kontroversial. Beliau menduga bahwa berdasarkan catatan Josephus dan sumber-sumber lainnya, bahwa Manusia Pendusta (Spouter of Lies) itu tidak lain adalah Rasul Paulus yang menulis sebagian besar surat dalam Perjanjian Baru. Meski dapat diajukan argumen-argumen lainnya untuk menyanggah Robert Eisenman tersebut, namun dalam tulisan ini penulis lebih memfokuskan pada makna spiritual dari kontroversi antara Guru Kebenaran dan Manusia Pendusta tersebut, serta implikasinya bagi mereka yang tergerak untuk menempuh Spiritualitas Jalan Lurus. Beberapa implikasi langsung yang dapat ditarik dari Spiritualitas Jalan Lurus akan dibahas di bagian akhir tulisan ini, di antaranya: bagaimana kita semestinya belajar menjadi pembawa kehidupan dan pohon kehidupan, dan juga bagaimana mengembangkan sikap yang sehat dan berintegritas di tengah hiruk-pikuknya paham Post-Truth. Penulis menyebutnya “Beyond Post-Truth.” Kiranya sepercik uraian ini akan berguna bagi para pembaca.   Abstract In this article, the author proposes rebuttal arguments, including against the views of Robert Eisenman in his book James the Brother of Jesus, particularly with regard to Eisenman's identification that the Teacher of Truth mentioned in the Pesher Habakkuk manuscript is James the brother of Jesus (James the Just) and the Man of Lies is the Apostle. Paul. There is quite a lot of controversy surrounding the identity of the Spouter of Lies in the DSS or what is often known as the Qumran manuscripts, one of the hypotheses proposed by one of the Qumran experts, namely Robert Eisenman, is quite controversial. He suspects that based on Josephus' records and other sources, that the Spouter of Lies was none other than the Apostle Paul who wrote most of the letters in the New Testament. Although many other arguments can be put forward to refute Robert Eisenman, in this paper the author focuses more on the spiritual meaning of the controversy between the Master of Truth and the Man of Lies, and its implications for those who are moved to follow the Spirituality of the Straight Path. Some of the direct implications that can be drawn from the Spirituality of the Straight Path will be discussed at the end of this paper, including: how we should learn to be bearers of life and the tree of life, and also how to develop a healthy attitude and integrity in the midst of the hustle and bustle of Post-Truth understanding. The author calls it “Beyond Post-Truth.” Hopefully this little description will be useful for the readers.
Upaya pemikiran rekonstruktif awal terhadap Ekonomi Kerajaan Allah menurut Kitab Taurat: Dan sekelumit tentang kunci keberhasilan koperasi Victor Christianto; Welko Marpaung; Murpin Josua Sembiring

Abstract

Salah satu permasalahan utama dalam bidang ekonomi di negeri ini adalah bagaimana menafsirkan dan menjabarkan Pasal 33 UUD 1945. Namun kalau kita melihat kembali perkembangan terkini pemikiran ekonomi, ada setidaknya 3 arus besar pemikiran: mereka yang percaya sepenuhnya akan kedigdayaanekonomi pasar dan maksimalisasi profit (dipertajam oleh Milton Friedman, 1970); mereka yang percaya bahwa ekonomi yang bernuansa sosialis yang akan memberikan keadilan, dengan perkembangan terkini misalnya sistem komunitarianisme dll; dan yang terakhir adalahupaya mencari jalan tengah di antara kedua kubu tersebut, misalnya yang disebut: state capitalism, atau common prosperity (diperkenalkan oleh Presiden RRC, Xi Jinping baru-baru ini). Meski artikel ini tidak bermaksud membahas secara menyeluruh masing-masing pendekatan, namun kami berusaha melihat kembali seperti apakah corak ekonomi KerajaanAllah yang dirancang Tuhan bagi umat-Nya. Artikel ini juga merupakan salah satu upaya untuk merefleksikan Pasal 33 tersebut dalam perspektif altruisme dalam Etika Kristen, khususnya yang berhubungan dengan konsep keramahan (hospitalitas).Dalam makalah ini, kami mengajukan suatu interpretasi ulang atas ayat tersebut berdasarkan konsep yang kami usulkan untuk disebut sebagai ekonomi kesetiakawanan atau"ekonomi hospitalitas." (dalam artikel terdahulu di jurnal NPTRS, kami mengajukan terma “koinomics.” - apakah ekonomi hospitalitas dan koinomics memang sama persis, tentu perludiskusi tersendiri.) Beberapa hal yang kami pertimbangkan dalam usulan ini antara lainadalah (1) manfaat neurosains dari memberi dan bekerjasama (cooperation), (2) tradisi lokal yang memberikan nilai tinggi terhadap persahabatan, (3) budaya keramahan, (4) pendekatananti-utilitarianisme, (5) konsep identitas relasional.   ---- Abstract One of the main problems in the economic field in this country is how to interpret and explain Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution. There have been many attempts to conduct a judicial review of various laws related to Article 33. At the latest developments in economic thought, there are at least three major currents of thought: those who fully believe in the supremacy of the market economy and profit maximization, as sharpened by Friedman (1970); those who believe that a socialist economy will provide justice, with recent developments such as communitarianism, etc.; and those believing in a middle ground between the two camps, as commonly called the state of capitalism or prosperity. The President of the PRC, Xi Jinping, recently introduced the latter. Without discussing each approach thoroughly, we look at the types of the economy the Kingdom of God has designed for His people. This article also aims to reflect on Article 33 from the perspective of altruism in Christian ethics, especially those related to the concept of hospitality (hospitality). Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution says: "The economy is structured as a joint effort based on the principle of the family cooperative." (Note: this is a non-official translation.) Some economists interpret this family principle as "mechanical solidarity," which is considered outdated. We propose a reinterpretation of this verse based on a concept called the solidarity economy, or the "hospitality economy." (In the previous article in the journal NPTRS, we put forward the term "koinomics"—both the economics of hospitality and koinomics are the same, of course, and need a separate discussion.) Some other issues we consider in this paper include (1) the neuroscientific benefits of giving and cooperation, (2) local traditions that place a high value on friendship, (3) a culture of friendliness, (4) an anti-utilitarian approach, (5) the concept of relational identity.

Abstract

“The times they are a-changin’,” as Bob Dylan wrote his famous song. We all agree with that remark, and it is so timely to speak how the church today needs to be in a-changin’. The question, though, is what kind of change the church is seeking to embrace? Is it in Christology, or liturgy, or Ecclesiology. Perhaps many theologians try to rethink their Christology positions, but few dare to admit there are a number of pressing questions in Ecclesiology old thoughts, as Jim Petersen wrote. The present article explores beyond mere daily questions such as Strauch explored (1986), but we ask questions related to persistent hierarchy which may be quite too rigid for embracing many new technologies, such as graph network. We extend further ideas that we discuss previously (Simon & Christianto, 2020). More than that since several years ago, there have been various discussions regarding how the post-Covid-19 situation will affect churches throughout the world. Although several books have been published on how church leaders should adapt to respond to these new circumstances, such reports seem rather reactive rather than looking in depth at the current ecclesiological challenges posed by Covid-19. Some churches have explored potential implications of the liquid church model as suggested by Prof. Pete Ward, inspired by sociologist Zygmunt Bauman. In this short article, the author invites readers to learn from small and simple churches, especially from a graph dynamics/network theory perspective. Therefore, in this initial report, let us discuss a graph interpretation of the God Trinity and its implications for the church graph model. We continue our previous article in the Amreta Journal, where we discussed a simple church model inspired by the interpretation of the John Gospel chapter 1; i.e. when Jesus called His first disciples to follow Him, cf. for example the free church model considered by Miroslav Volf from the Gospel of Matthew 17. Taking into account the earliest Christian communities that have grown in the past, especially in the era of the first centuries AD, as explained by Wim Dryer etc., let us put forward a proposition: that many of the serious obstacles faced by churches today can only be responded to properly by rethinking shared testimony and experience among networks or relationships of friends. In other words, rapid spreading of the Great Good News from God could only be achieved by introducing a new type of social analysis, called graph theory and network dynamics. We will discuss some implications in particular for the often hidden role of women in developing and propagating these ecclesiastical missional networks. To conclude, it is this writer’s hope that such an in-depth viewpoint will bring several insights into how to connect between ecclesiological praxis of the early Christian churches and the 21st century churches, especially in many regions of the world where the body of Christ is under severe persecution.
