Abstract

The Jesus-section of the Javanese Serat Anbiya starts at the end of the story of the People of the Cave, the Muslim version of the Christian legend of the Seven Sleepers of Ephesos, who fled persecution under Emperor Decius (249-251) and disappeared, until they were found and rose up again. In most versions of this series, this story is told after the Jesus section (in Tha'labi, Rabghuzi, Mirkhond, but not in Kisai), but here it precedes the Jesus-story.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v12i2.589

Abstract

In eight novels, Ayu Utami has presented critical attacks on doctrines and practices of the major religions in Indonesia. The two books, that describe the spiritual struggle of the Catholic priest Saman (1998-2002), call for a religion that is more active in the political arena, but leaves sexual rules to the individual people. The novel Bilangan Fu (2008) condemns the monopoly of the great religions in favour of local and individual spirituality. This is developed in a series of novels of which two more have already appeared. A third cycle of three more or less autobiographic novels (2003-2013) sketch her personal quest from atheism towards a critical but positive spirituality condemning a clerical and monopolist trend in Catholicism. Utami's criticism of the great religions is external (more players in the field should be recognised) and internal (religious leaders should have more modest claims towards their faithful and leave more space for personal choice).

Abstract

In eight novels the Javanese writer Ayu Utami (born 1968) has presented critical attacks on doctrines and practices of the major religions in Indonesia. The two books that describe the spiritual struggle of the Catholic priest Saman (1998-2002) call for a religion that is more active in the political arena, but leaves sexual rules to the individual people. The novel Bilangan Fu (2008) condemns the monopoly of the great religions in favour of local and individual spirituality. This is developed in a series of novels of which two more have already appeared. A third cycle of three more or less autobiographic novels (2003-2013) sketch her personal quest from atheism towards a critical but positive spirituality condemning a clerical and monopolist trend in Catholicism. Utami’s criticism of the great religions is external (more players in the field should be recognised) and internal (religious leaders should have more modest claims towards their faithful and leave more space for personal choice).

Abstract

This article presents an overview of various ways in which Buddhists and Muslims have lived together in Indonesia since the arrival of Islam about 1200. It tells how Buddhism has slowly disappeared and become a religion for mainly the Chinese who, until the late 19th century, have often converted to Islam. This article analyzes the role of three key figures in the recent government–supported revival of Buddhism. These figures are the Chinese–Indonesian monk Ashin Jinarakkhita, the Balinese lay devotee and government official Oka Diputhera, and the Chinese–Indonesian businesswoman Sri Hartati Murdaya. They have tried to accommodate Buddhism to the Muslim–dominated nationalism of modern Indonesia. The result of the past five decades is that Buddhism has obtained a modest but safe position in independent Indonesia.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v20i1.346

Abstract

Islam and Christianity arrived in the south-eastern islands of the Indonesian archipelago in two waves. The first wave started in about 1480 with the arrival of Arab and Indian (Gujerati) traders in the spice islands of the Northern Moluccas: particularly in Ternate and Tidore. They arrived through the island of Flores, and probably very quickly moved across to the island of Timor as well, to engage in trade in sandalwood, horses and slaves. In south-east Indonesia, as in most regions of the archipelago, the arrival of Islam occurred somewhat earlier than the coming of the first Christians. At that time, the two main centers of trade in south-east Indonesia, which also became centers for the new religions, were the islands of Solor and Ende.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v9i1.674

Some kingdoms in the archipelago, especially those located on the island of Sumatra, began to embrace Islam. Furthermore, the conversion process is running more intensive and reach the various kingdoms in other areas.One of the important themes in seeing the Islamic tradition in this region is the struggle of Muslim thinkers in interpreting Islamic doctrines.

Abstract

Islam is a unifying factor at the same time breaking in Indonesian history. Based on historical records, the conversion of Islam in Indonesia starts from kingdoms located in coastal areas. This conversion greatly benefit the kingdom, with which they can access a wider trade network which already controlled by Muslims. This conversion process can then unify the Malay traders origin, Java, and their other competitors. But with the entry of traders into the new religion beaches, hinterland connections with the merchant becomes tenuous. The situation may ultimately culminated into a dispute. In the Sumatra area, which is pretty much known example is the Padri war and the Islamization of the southern part of the Batak.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v1i3.851
