Abstract

Abstract: The evolutionary worldview confirms its position since the discovery of various ancient human sites, and continues to develop with various genetic engineerings and protein discoveries as well as advances in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Initially the religious community was the party who felt most attacked by the theory of evolution because it stripped the Bible of the truth about the creation of the world and humans. Later some Catholic Church appreciative statements about the theory of evolution and the big bang theory, including Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's attempt to explain the evolution of human consciousness towards the cosmic Christ, showed a change in religion towards acceptance of the diversity of world views: religion, culture and science. This evolutionary world development raises ethical questions about what is religion’s contribution. One of them is the awareness about shadow. The awareness is derived from religion which teaches that men are created by God that even though unique, but mortal and finite creations. Shadow is liberation so that men are not shackled to matter. He is a fragile human who longs to evolve to be a Christ as the perfect human image.Abstraksi:Pandangan dunia evolusioner meneguhkan kedudukannya sejak penemuan berbagai situs manusia purba, dan terus berkembang dengan berbagai penemuan rekayasa genetik dan protein dan kemajuan di bidang teknologi artificial intelligence (AI). Semula kalangan agama menjadi pihak yang merasa paling diserang dengan teori evolusi karena melucuti kebenaran Alkitab tentang penciptaan dunia dan manusia. Belakangan beberapa pernyataan apresiatif Gereja Katolik terhadap teori evolusi dan teori big bang, termasuk usaha Pierre Teilhard de Chardin menjelaskan tentang evolusi kesadaran manusia menuju Kristus kosmis, memperlihatkan perubahan agama menuju penerimaan akan keragaman pandangan dunia: agama, budaya dan ilmu pengetahuan. Perkembangan dunia evolusioner ini memperhadapkan berbagai pertanyaan etis tentang apa sumbangan agama. Salah satunya adalah kesadaran tentang bayangan. Kesadaran akan bayangan diperoleh dari agama yang mengajarkan bahwa manusia yang diciptakan Tuhan, sekalipun unik, adalah ciptaan yang fana dan terbatas. Bayangan adalah pembebasan agar manusia tidak tertambat pada materi. Ia adalah manusia yang rapuh yang merindukan berevolusi menuju Kristus sebagai gambaran manusia yang sempurna.

Abstract

The polemic around the concept of Christian deity can be diluted by efforts to develop an orthopraxis (Christo-Praxis) embracing more the diversity of divinity understanding in Christianity and Islam. One of such efforts is Mahmoud Mustafa Ayoub’s, who approached the depiction of Jesus from His humanity aspect. Ayoub's effort is a legitimate Christology from the Islamic perspective. What Ayoub has been done spurs the reinterpretation of tradition among Christians by develop a mediating paradigm to seek common ground with the Islamic theology. Both Christianity and Islam emphasize monotheism by orthodoxy and orthopraxis. Orthodoxically, it means "let God be God", and orthopraxically it is monotheism is connected with anthropology. Islam realizes efforts towards social justice, and Christian realizes the coming of the Kingdom of God. Here the image of Jesus Christ walking down the path of misery, the cross of Jesus, has represented God's identification with the suffering of the world, as well as an appreciation of spirituality, the spirituality centered on creation, that which means a cosmic Trinitarian spirituality for Christian, requiring justice and peace, truth and love, and the brotherhood of all people and all creations.

Abstract

Two figures who live in different ages, Calvin and Ricoeur, have built their thinking by way of an experience of repentance or self-renewal. It is this experience what so-called as personal analysis. Calvin, with his experience of "sudden conversion (subita conversio)", was moved to undertake a better world transformation as the stage of God's glory. Ricoeur, with his concept of self-consciousness", emancipated the open subject aimed at social emancipation. Their experiences are individual in character, but it isnt closed, conversely opened and forwarded out to others through relationships with others in the context of living together. Its goal is a social analysis through the transformation of a good and just life. The shifting process from personal analysis to social analysis, I name it as a transfersal transformation, namely, a change in the private realm that is forwarded to the public sphere with a call to live a good and fair life together.In Asia, the shift from personal analysis to social analysis (transfersal transformation) is important for Asian theology to be contextual and design a good and just society.
