Abstract

This study discusses the background of the theological polemic concerning the authority of the Bible, which is simultaneously viewed as the highest divinely inspired text and a human document containing internal contradictions and historical inconsistencies. This study aims to analyse the influential perspective of Swiss theologian Karl Barth as a resolution to this tension. Its main objectives are to investigate Barth's conceptualisation of the polemic surrounding biblical truth and to examine his critique of biblical inerrancy. This study uses a qualitative method with a theological approach, conducting a systematic literature review of Barth's major works, academic journals, and related documentation. The results show that Barth affirms the Bible not as the perfect and direct Word of God, but as a fallible human ‘witness’ to the true Word, Jesus Christ. This study concludes that Barth's position avoids rejecting the Bible by affirming that the text becomes the Word of God dynamically through divine-human encounters, rather than having static inerrancy. The specific theological contribution of this research, in addition to the existing scholarship, is the articulation of Barth's dialectical framework as a powerful ‘third way’ that transcends the impasse between fundamentalist literalism and liberal revisionism, thereby promoting a coherent understanding of the sacredness of scripture in contemporary Christianity

Abstract

This article tries to reveal Mukti Ali's thoughts about his new approach in Islamic Studies, namely Scientific-Cum-Doctrinaire in the eyes of Islamic Worldview. This article was written using a qualitative research approach by taking the type of library research, in which the data analysis technique was descriptive-qualitative. The results of the study were also explored through a philosophical approach to examine the thoughts of Mukti Ali who was able to create his own method of understanding Islam, namely the synthesis method and the typological method. The result of this research is that the Scientific-Cum-Doctrinaire approach is the result of a combination of three different approaches. First, Doctrinaire or dogmatic, namely approaching religion based on the statements of the Qur'an and Hadith, but this approach is considered outdated by Mukti Ali because it cannot be applied in society. Second, Scientific, which is approaching religion scientifically. However, Ali rejects this approach if it is only used singly because it is considered unsuitable. Third, synthesis is a combination of Scientific-Doctrinaire. According to him, this approach is appropriate to use in understanding Islam. Meanwhile, in the Islamic worldview, the most perfect method is the monotheistic method. Furthermore, the concept of Scientific-Cum-Doctrinaire in the eyes of the Islamic worldview is value-free. Mukti Ali also admitted that the steps of the Scientific-Cum-Doctrinaire method had not been clearly defined, thus, the Scientific-Cum-Doctrinaire method was different or incompatible with the Islamic worldview concept.
