Abstract

Living without faith commitment is an existential struggle in Indonesia, where religion is essential for communal life. Despite the civic requirement to register one’s religious belief, some students, in reality, live without faith commitment. Their formal religious status is not a reflection of their convictions. They never attend religious worship, and they also have no idea about the core beliefs. Using qualitative phenomenological research, this article reports students’ existential struggle in a religiously-shaped society as an intense experience and struggle to find a place in the community. In the final part of the research, the paper also reflects the biblical perspective and provides recommendations for the church in the contemporary context.

Abstract

This study presents a pioneering dialogue between Karl Barth’s Christian theology and Islamic theological perspectives in the Indonesian context, focusing specifically on the concept of universal salvation. The primary interlocutors are Nurcholish Madjid, interpreting Ibn Taymiyya, and Karl Barth’s theology. Barth’s universalism envisions an inclusive future for humanity, elaborated in Barth’s exposition of the theme “Jesus is Victor,” suggesting a universal reprieve from divine eschatological judgment. Correspondingly, Madjid’s interpretation of Islamic theology proposes a universally hopeful future, recognizing the broad spectrum of divine revelation across various religious traditions, thereby fostering a sense of shared hope among diverse religious followers. Ibn Taymiyya, often misconceived as a figurehead for radical elements, is depicted in this essay as advocating a form of universalism where divine mercy ultimately triumphs over retribution. This article contends that this mutual anticipation of universal salvation can pave the way for meaningful Christian-Islamic interactions in the Indonesian milieu, contributing significantly to interfaith dialogue and understanding.

Abstract

In the modern era, the Lutheran tradition has recognized the need to enrich its theology to remain relevant to contemporary developments, one of which is through the exploration of pneumatological thought. As part of this tradition, GKPI also faces similar challenges. The enrichment of pneumatological theology in GKPI can be pursued by enhancing the comprehensiveness of its dogma or improving the effectiveness of its communication to the congregation. This study aims to understand the position of GKPI’s pneumatological thought in relation to these two aspects. Using a qualitative method, the study found that GKPI possesses a comprehensive pneumatological dogma. However, a gap exists between the dogma and the liturgy in use, indicating an ineffective communication pattern. This gap constitutes a crucial point for the enrichment of GKPI’s pneumatological theology.
