Abstract

The study of Christology navigates essential debates, with mainstream Christianity upholding the hypostatic union, affirming Jesus as both true God and true man. Scholars explore the coexistence of Jesus' divinity and humanity, articulated through christology from above and christology from below. The Islamic-Christian discourse often centers on Jesus' ontological nature. This research examines perceptions of the dogmatic structure in both faiths, utilizing a literature review to synthesize insights. Islamic Christology portrays Jesus as a human prophet (الْمَخْلُوق, Al-Mahkluq), distinct from the creator (الْخَالِق, Al-khaliq), while Christian Christology emphasizes Jesus' divinity, referencing him as the Word who is God himself (ϑεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος, theos en ho Logos). Despite disparities, both share functional parallels in beliefs like the virgin birth, miracles, and eschatological anticipation. Encouraging critical discussions is paramount, fostering understanding, respect, and collaboration amidst differences. Recognizing doctrinal disparities while seeking common ground promotes peace, tolerance, and cross-religious understanding

Abstract

This study examines leadership in the Old Testament narrative, focusing on the dynamic tension between divine calling and the crisis of human authority within the framework of God’s sovereignty. Employing a narrative hermeneutic method, the analysis centres on key leadership texts featuring figures such as Jacob, Moses, Gideon, Ruth, David, and King Uzziah, aiming to elucidate how leadership authority is established, challenged, and at times compromised by human ambition. The findings reveal that leadership in the Old Testament is fundamentally a form of stewardship grounded in faithfulness to God’s holiness and submission to His sovereign will, while simultaneously confronting the persistent human tendency towards domination and self-assertion. This study highlights that the successes and failures of these leaders reflect the ongoing tension between divine will and human aspiration, offering pertinent insights for contemporary understandings of leadership within spiritual and ethical contexts. The novelty of this research lies in its comprehensive thematic integration of leadership narratives within the Old Testament tradition, contributing significantly to both theological discourse and practical leadership studies.AbstrakPenelitian ini mengkaji kepemimpinan dalam narasi Perjanjian Lama dengan fokus pada dinamika antara panggilan ilahi dan krisis otoritas manusia dalam konteks kedaulatan Allah. Metode hermeneutik naratif digunakan untuk menganalisis teks-teks sentral, termasuk narasi kepemimpinan tokoh-tokoh seperti Yakub, Musa, Gideon, Rut, Daud, dan Raja Uzia, guna memahami bagaimana otoritas kepemimpinan dibangun, diuji, dan terkadang gagal akibat ambisi manusia. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa kepemimpinan dalam Perjanjian Lama adalah sebuah pelayanan yang bersandar pada kesetiaan kepada kekudusan Allah dan ketundukan pada kedaulatan-Nya, sekaligus menghadapi tantangan dari kecenderungan manusia untuk menguasai dan mendominasi. Studi ini menegaskan bahwa keberhasilan maupun kegagalan para pemimpin tersebut merefleksikan ketegangan antara kehendak ilahi dan aspirasi manusiawi, yang relevan bagi pemahaman kepemimpinan kontemporer dalam konteks spiritual dan etika. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada integrasi tematik narasi kepemimpinan secara holistik dalam tradisi Perjanjian Lama, memberikan kontribusi teologis dan praktis yang signifikan untuk diskursus kepemimpinan masa kini.

Abstract

This study investigates the interplay between the folk religion of the Dani people in Baliem Village, Papua, and its potential to inform a local theology that supports contextual ministry. By applying an ethnotheological framework, the research examines how Dani cultural and religious beliefs—particularly those enshrined in the Nabelan-Kabelan and Naruekul mythologies—can serve as a foundation for contextual evangelism. Through qualitative methods, including ethnographic fieldwork and content analysis of relevant literature, this study identifies key elements of Dani folk religion that either hinder or facilitate the integration of Christian teachings within Dani society. The findings highlight the intricate relationship between indigenous spirituality and Christian ethics, suggesting that a contextualised approach to ministry is crucial for effective evangelism among the Dani people. The paper concludes by offering recommendations for the development of contextual ministry strategies that engage with the Dani’s cultural and theological worldview.
