Abstract

In everyday conversation the word “criticism” usually has an unfavorable or negative meaning. This word is often associated with a negative or bad assessment of something. But this can also have a positive impact. For example, art, literature, music, etc. In this case, criticism is a type of interpretation that seeks to systematically emphasize the properties of something. When applied to the Bible, this approach is often understood as a passive effort. However, this textual critical approach is a systematic effort to understand the Bible by examining its form, content, and context, studying it, explaining it, and exploiting the benefits of understanding it from everyone’s point of view. Regarding the Gospel of John, there are several things you need to know about his theology. Jesus had several titles that need to be looked at and studied to know their true meaning. The author uses qualitative methods to examine the history in which Jesus faced the Jews and the Roman empire. As well as the teachings that Jesus gave to His disciples.

Abstract

This study examines the dynamic relationship between faith and scriptural dialogue within the multidimensional encounter spaces of educational institutions. The research explores how faith communities navigate the complexities of engaging with sacred texts while fostering meaningful dialogue across diverse theological, cultural, and pedagogical perspectives. Through qualitative analysis of educational practices, this study examines the methodological approaches used in creating inclusive spaces where the Word addresses contemporary educational challenges. The research reveals that effective faith-based dialogue requires sophisticated hermeneutical frameworks that honor both textual integrity and contextual relevance. Schools emerge as critical venues where traditional religious discourse meets modern educational paradigms, creating opportunities for transformative encounters. The findings demonstrate that the successful implementation of faith dialogue depends on establishing authentic relationships, maintaining theological depth while ensuring accessibility, and developing pedagogical strategies that respect diversity. This study contributes to understanding how educational institutions can serve as bridges between sacred traditions and contemporary learning environments, offering practical insights for educators seeking to integrate faith perspectives within pluralistic academic settings.   Abstrak Penelitian ini mengkaji hubungan dinamis antara iman dan dialog Firman dalam ruang perjumpaan multidimensional di institusi pendidikan.

Abstract

This study analyzes the function of culture in optimizing dialogue and Christian mission through an integrative approach that combines missiological anthropology, practical theology, and intercultural communication studies perspectives. The research identifies gaps in existing literature that tend to separate contextualization studies from intercultural dialogue mechanism analysis in mission contexts. Through a comprehensive analysis of cultural elements functioning as cross-cultural communication bridges, this study develops a theoretical framework for understanding how local cultural particularities can be utilized as media for conveying universal Gospel truths without compromising theological integrity. Findings indicate that cultural optimization in mission dialogue requires a deep understanding of target communities' worldviews, value systems, and social structures. This research formulates practical principles for implementing culturally informed approaches in contemporary Christian mission, contributing to developing more effective and contextually appropriate mission strategies in the globalization era characterized by increasing cultural complexity and religious pluralism.   Abstrak Penelitian ini menganalisis fungsi budaya dalam mengoptimalkan dialog dan misi Kristiani melalui pendekatan integratif yang menggabungkan perspektif antropologi misiologi, teologi praktis, dan studi komunikasi antarbudaya. Studi ini mengidentifikasi kesenjangan dalam literatur eksisting yang cenderung memisahkan kajian kontekstualisasi dari analisis mekanisme dialog antarbudaya dalam konteks misi. Melalui analisis komprehensif terhadap elemen-elemen budaya yang berfungsi sebagai jembatan komunikasi lintas budaya, penelitian ini mengembangkan kerangka teoretis untuk memahami bagaimana particularitas budaya lokal dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai medium penyampaian kebenaran universal Injil tanpa mengorbankan integritas teologisnya. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa optimalisasi budaya dalam dialog misi memerlukan pemahaman mendalam tentang worldview, sistem nilai, dan struktur sosial masyarakat sasaran. Penelitian ini merumuskan prinsip-prinsip praktis untuk implementasi pendekatan yang culturally informed dalam misi Kristiani kontemporer, berkontribusi pada pengembangan strategi misi yang lebih efektif dan contextually appropriate dalam era globalisasi yang ditandai oleh increasing cultural complexity dan religious pluralism.

Abstract

This study discusses the role of the church in addressing mental health issues among congregants. It begins by highlighting the growing awareness of mental health struggles within the Christian community and the broader society. Despite this growing concern, many churches remain unprepared to provide adequate pastoral care for individuals experiencing psychological distress. The paper examines theological perspectives and pastoral practices that influence the church’s response to mental health challenges. Using literature review and contextual reflection, the author explores the tension between spiritual assumptions and psychological realities. The study emphasizes the need for the church to cultivate a more empathetic and holistic approach to care. Rather than pathologizing mental illness or relegating it solely to spiritual causes, churches are encouraged to create safe, supportive spaces for healing and restoration. This paper offers a foundational framework for developing a contextual theology of mental health that is both practical and compassionate.
