Abstract

This article explores the relationship between secular law and religious morality within Indonesia’s legal system, which is built upon a symbiotic principle between the state and religion. Unlike strictly secular or theocratic states, Indonesia adopts a unique approach by integrating religious values into its legal framework through the ideological foundation of Pancasila and the constitutional mandate of the 1945 Constitution. This study employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach, focusing on Scopus-indexed publications and analyzed through content analysis techniques. The findings reveal that while Indonesia’s legal system normatively guarantees religious freedom, in practice, it still encounters challenges such as intolerance, the politicization of religion, discrimination against minority groups, and conflict among coexisting legal systems. The article concludes that the relationship between the state and religion in Indonesia requires structural and cultural reinforcement to achieve substantive justice and uphold the protection of diversity in a democratic society. This study contributes conceptually to the discourse on law and religion and offers practical implications for Christian education and the development of tolerant, justice-oriented citizens

Abstract

This article explores the evolving concepts of sin and punishment through an interdisciplinary analysis rooted in theology and legal theory. It examines how theological traditions understand sin as a spiritual rupture and punishment as a path to restoration, while legal systems treat punishment as a rational mechanism to uphold justice and social order. The study traces the shifting boundaries between divine justice and secular law through historical and thematic analysis, revealing how moral responsibility, repentance, and mercy have been interpreted across various contexts—from ancient religious codes to Enlightenment jurisprudence. The article also analyzes contemporary ethical debates surrounding retributive and restorative punishment models. By integrating theological reflection with legal-historical insights, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of how societies conceptualize wrongdoing and justice and advocates for more holistic approaches to moral and legal accountability.

Abstract

ABSTRACTModern capitalism has shaped the economic structure, societal values, and spirituality. This study explores how Christian doctrine responds to the challenges of capitalism through a systematic literature review using Scopus data. The findings reveal that Christian theology offers a critique of inequality and exploitation in neoliberal and financial capitalism and an alternative framework grounded in love, justice, and human dignity. Concepts such as Business as Mission (BAM), which refers to an entrepreneurial approach that integrates business activities as a form of faith witness and a means of social transformation, and prophetic theology, which positions the Church as a prophetic voice advocating justice, truth, and the defense of the marginalized in socio-economic contexts. The Church is called to reclaim its prophetic role in shaping a more humane economic paradigm. Key words: Christian doctrine, capitalism, Christian ethics, social justice, economic theology. ABSTRAKKapitalisme modern telah membentuk sistem ekonomi sekaligus memengaruhi struktur nilai dan spiritualitas masyarakat. Studi ini menelaah bagaimana doktrin Kristen merespons tantangan kapitalisme melalui pendekatan studi literatur dengan data dari Scopus. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa doktrin Kristen tidak hanya menawarkan kritik terhadap ketimpangan dan eksploitasi dalam kapitalisme neoliberal dan finansial, tetapi juga memberikan kerangka alternatif berbasis kasih, keadilan, dan martabat manusia. Konsep seperti Business as Mission (BAM), yaitu pendekatan kewirausahaan yang menjadikan aktivitas bisnis sebagai bentuk kesaksian iman dan sarana transformasi sosial, serta teologi profetik, yakni pendekatan teologi yang menempatkan gereja sebagai suara kenabian yang menyuarakan keadilan, kebenaran, dan pembelaan terhadap kelompok tertindas dalam konteks sosial-ekonomi. Gereja dipanggil untuk memainkan peran kenabian dalam membentuk paradigma ekonomi yang lebih manusiawi. Kata kunci: doktrin Kristen, kapitalisme, etika Kristen, keadilan sosial, teologi ekonomi.

Abstract

Keadilan merupakan nilai moral dan institusional yang sangat penting dalam membentuk struktur hukum, masyarakat, dan iman. Studi ini menyajikan tinjauan literatur sistematis (Systematic Literature Review/SLR) dengan pendekatan PRISMA untuk mensintesiskan dan menganalisis secara kritis konsep keadilan dari perspektif sistem hukum sekuler dan teologi Kristen. Keadilan dalam hukum menekankan pada keadilan prosedural, kesetaraan di hadapan hukum, dan rasionalitas formal. Sebaliknya, dalam teologi Kristen, keadilan dipahami sebagai perwujudan kasih Allah yang restoratif, penuh belas kasih, dan berpihak kepada yang tertindas. Dengan menelaah pemikiran tokoh-tokoh seperti Agustinus, Thomas Aquinas, Reinhold Niebuhr, dan Nicholas Wolterstorff, artikel ini mengungkap dimensi moral dan relasional dari keadilan Kristen. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa integrasi pendekatan hukum dan teologi Kristen dapat memperkaya pemahaman keadilan secara lebih menyeluruh dan etis dalam masyarakat pluralistik. Sintesis ini penting untuk membangun kebijakan publik yang adil dan etika hukum yang manusiawi. Kajian ini juga menegaskan bahwa iman memiliki peran vital dalam memotivasi tindakan keadilan sosial. Pada akhirnya, keadilan dipahami bukan hanya sebagai norma legal, tetapi sebagai komitmen moral yang transformatif dan berakar pada kasih serta iman yang aktif.

Abstract

Abstract: This study examines the historical relationship between Christianity and ecology, highlighting the dynamics between criticism and constructive engagement within Christian traditions regarding environmental issues. The research employs a systematic literature review to identify and analyze relevant studies. The findings reveal that Christianity, while often criticized for its contributions to ecological degradation, also holds significant potential to support ecological sustainability through its teachings and practices. A historical perspective illustrates how Christian doctrines advocate for a symbiotic relationship between humans and nature. This study further explores how Christian ethical principles can contribute to environmental conservation. Through a review of existing literature, the research demonstrates that Christian beliefs can encourage sustainable practices despite challenges in integrating religious values. These findings underscore Christianity's substantial potential to contribute to environmental conservation through a holistic ethical and spiritual approach. The implications of this study highlight the importance of engaging Christian communities in environmental movements through approaches rooted in religious values. By leveraging Christian ethical principles, ecological organizations, and policymakers can bridge the gap between spirituality and sustainable practices. Furthermore, this research creates opportunities for interdisciplinary dialogue between religion and environmental science, emphasizing the need for strategies that integrate religious values into global sustainability initiatives.

Abstract

Ketidakadilan dalam lembaga peradilan merupakan realitas yang telah disadari sejak zaman kuno, sebagaimana tercermin dalam Pengkhotbah 3:16. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi literatur kualitatif dengan analisis reflektif interdisipliner yang mengintegrasikan sumber-sumber teologi, teori sistem hukum, filsafat hukum, dan literatur hukum Indonesia kontemporer. Melalui pendekatan ini, penelitian mengidentifikasi akar ketidakadilan tidak hanya pada perilaku individu, tetapi juga pada kelemahan dalam struktur, substansi, dan budaya hukum. Selain itu, studi ini menawarkan kerangka konseptual reformasi hukum yang lebih holistik dan berbasis moral, yang menempatkan nilai-nilai etis transendental sebagai fondasi bagi transformasi sistem hukum. Kerangka ini mencakup tiga pilar: (1) pemurnian struktur hukum melalui integritas kelembagaan; (2) penyelarasan substansi hukum dengan prinsip keadilan substantif; dan (3) pembaruan budaya hukum melalui internalisasi moralitas publik dan etos profesionalisme. Temuan penelitian menegaskan bahwa pemulihan keadilan menuntut reformasi yang tidak hanya bersifat institusional, tetapi juga menyentuh dimensi moral dan spiritual yang menopang keberlangsungan sistem hukum.

Abstract

The Theology of Liberation in Palestine has become a phenomenon influencing the dynamics of religion, politics, and identity in Palestine and worldwide. This paper analyzes the connection between Palestinian Liberation Theology and Latin American Liberation Theology, as well as its influence on the perception and participation of Christians in the Palestinian liberation movement. The research method employed is a literature review, focusing on relevant literature search, selection, content analysis, comparison, and critical evaluation. The research findings indicate that Palestinian Liberation Theology shares the same roots as Latin American Liberation Theology, focusing on liberation from oppressive structures and restoring dignity to the oppressed. This theology has strengthened the identity of Palestinian Christians and fostered ecumenical cooperation, motivating them to engage politically in the struggle for Palestinian independence. Practical support from global Christians is reflected in concrete actions and social activities, such as support for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement against Israel. Palestinian Liberation Theology has been a source of inspiration and strength for Christians in Palestine and worldwide to advocate for justice and promote sustainable peace in the region.
