Abstract

This study aims to explore the significance of Christ's humility and sacrifice, particularly through His emptying and death on the cross, and its implications in alleviating interpersonal and social conflicts. Adopting a qualitative approach, the study employs literature review and content analysis methods to examine biblical texts, theological works, and modern theories on conflict and reconciliation. The research focuses on how the principles of Christ's humility and sacrifice, exemplified in His self-emptying action to serve humanity, can be applied to resolve conflicts and restore relationships between individuals. The findings of this study indicate that Christ's teachings provide a relevant model for reconciliation and peacebuilding, both in personal life and on a broader social scale. The novelty of this research lies in linking the theological values of Christ with contemporary conflict resolution theories, offering new insights into the role of humility and sacrifice in addressing social tensions. This study contributes to understanding the relevance of Christ's teachings in the context of current conflicts.

Abstract

This study focuses on the development of an effective Christian leadership model by integrating faith, character, and competence as its core pillars. Unlike traditional leadership approaches, this research offers a new contribution by positioning faith in Jesus Christ as the foundation that unites these four elements within a holistic leadership model. Through this approach, Christian leaders are not only guided towards achieving organisational goals but also tasked with bringing a positive spiritual impact to both the workplace and society. The findings of the study indicate that leadership rooted in faith can create lasting influence, foster strong character, and enhance competence in service. This encourages Christian leaders to prioritise eternal values, justice, and transformative service, thereby shaping leadership with broad-reaching impact. The study provides practical guidance for the realisation of relevant and effective Christian leadership in various life contexts.

Abstract

This article aims to refresh the theological thought of Rudolf Bultmann in a contemporary context by examining his contributions to existential theology and the relevance of the Gospel in the modern era. The main focus of this study includes Bultmann's ideas on the “Hidden God”, divine revelation, and existential faith experience, as well as the concept of demythologisation as an attempt to actualise the biblical message in an increasingly secular and pluralistic world. Criticism of his hermeneutical methods is also discussed to evaluate the relevance of Bultmann's theology in confronting the challenges of spiritual life and contemporary Christian ethics. The research demonstrates that, despite facing criticism, Bultmann's thought remains relevant and offers new insights into understanding faith, revelation, and Christian dogma in the modern world. Thus, this article presents a perspective of renewal in the application of Bultmann's theological thought for the contemporary context.

Abstract

This article explores creation and the theology of the God-Humanity-Creation relationship in the Old Testament, highlighting key elements such as the theology of perichoresis, the origin of the human body from the earth (adamah, אֲדָמָה), and the state of creation before and after humanity’s fall. It also examines the consequences of communal transgression and God's promise of restoration. By employing qualitative hermeneutical methods through biblical text analysis and theological literature studies, this study affirms that the work of restoration is a divine initiative aimed at re-establishing harmonious relationships between humanity, creation, and the Creator. This research offers new insights into the significance of restoration within the framework of creation and humanity’s responsibility as stewards of creation, while also presenting hope for the renewal of all creation. The conclusion of this study emphasises that the restoration of the God-Humanity-Creation relationship in the Old Testament is a divine initiative intended to restore the harmony of creation following humanity’s fall. By highlighting the concept of the theology of perichoresis, the origin of humanity from the earth (אֲדָמָה, adamah), and the impact of the fall on creation, this research asserts that restoration is not merely a promise but an ongoing part of God’s plan. Moreover, this study underscores humanity’s role as stewards of creation and provides theological insights into the hope of renewal for all creation in light of God’s redemptive work.

Abstract

This study investigates the interplay between Dani cultural values and Christian ethics, focusing on how contextual evangelism can be effectively implemented within the Dani community in Papua. Utilizing a qualitative approach with an ethnographic methodology, the research combines field observations and content analysis to explore the impact of traditional Dani beliefs, particularly those encapsulated in the Nabelan-Kabelan and Naruekul mythologies, on Christian ethics and practices. Field observations involve immersive engagement with the Dani people to understand their cultural practices and religious expressions, while content analysis of relevant literature provides a theoretical foundation for interpreting these practices within the context of Christian teachings. The findings reveal that traditional Dani beliefs present both challenges and opportunities for contextual evangelism, highlighting the need for a nuanced approach that respects cultural values while introducing Christian ethics. The study concludes with recommendations for effective evangelistic strategies that integrate cultural insights with biblical teachings to foster ethical transformation and spiritual growth within the Dani community.
