Abstract

Innovation in Artificial Intelligence raise a plethora of moral concerns, the majority of which are being thoughtfully explored by organizations ranging from small societal groups to large organizations and governments. Nevertheless, they raise ethical concerns that are not being adequately addressed. This research offers a comprehensive overview of the main ethical issues linked to the impact of Artificial Intelligence on human society from the perspective of Christian ethics. Christian ethics stresses human individuals’ intrinsic dignity as being made in the image of God (Imago Dei). It emphasizes the relevance of human dignity, well-being, and autonomy in the development and implementation of Artificial Intelligence. Having established a number of potential qualities of human identity, we then turn to the Scriptures in order to discover some biblical notions that may be helpful in addressing Artificial Intelligence and the meaning of being human, organized around the themes of creation, fall, and redemption. The report concludes with a call for accountability and humility.

Abstract

Like other sorts of knowledge, thought, and behavior, Christian theology is influenced by the context in which it is employed. Contextual theology shows how thoroughly contextual Christian theology is. The significance of context has never been entirely disregarded in the development of contextual theology.

Based on the various languages and ethnicities that have various kinds of differences, Indonesia is unique in building a down-to-earth theology in the archipelago. This article aims to find out how contextual theology becomes a liaison in bridging between the Word and the context to be able to provide understanding for both parties to God's truth based on synthesis contextual theology and culture in Indonesia. The research method used is qualitative literature research which is the process of studying books, references, and research results to get a better understanding of a problem or issue. This information is then used to build a theoretical foundation for future research.

Abstract

The rapid integration of digital technology in education has transformed how faith is taught and experienced in Christian contexts. This shift challenges Christian Religious Education (CRE) teachers to maintain theological integrity while engaging learners in online and hybrid spaces. Traditional models of discipleship must now coexist with virtual practices of learning and community building, requiring teachers to navigate the tension between spiritual authenticity and digital innovation. As education in the 21st century emphasizes creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking, Christian educators must also redefine their leadership as a calling that unites faith, ethics, and pedagogy. This transformation positions teachers not merely as instructors but as spiritual mentors who embody servant and transformative leadership within digital learning environments. The purpose of this study is to develop a theological and pedagogical framework for digital faith formation and teacher leadership in contemporary Christian education. Employing a qualitative theological method and literature-based analysis, the research draws from biblical principles and scholarly works in theology, education, and digital pedagogy. Findings show that faith formation in digital contexts must remain relational, participatory, and grounded in the incarnational model of Christ. Effective leadership integrates humility, moral integrity, and technological discernment to sustain authentic spiritual growth. The study contributes by bridging theology and pedagogy, offering a holistic model for spiritually grounded and digitally competent Christian educators in the 21st century.   Contribution: This study contributes to contemporary Christian education by formulating an integrative framework that unites theology, pedagogy, and digital literacy, positioning Christian educators as transformative spiritual leaders who cultivate faith, ethics, and relational depth within digital learning communities.   Integrasi teknologi digital yang berlangsung pesat dalam dunia pendidikan telah mengubah cara iman diajarkan dan dihayati dalam konteks Kristen. Pergeseran ini menantang para guru Pendidikan Agama Kristen (PAK) untuk tetap menjaga integritas teologis sambil melibatkan peserta didik di ruang pembelajaran daring dan hibrida. Model pemuridan tradisional kini harus berdampingan dengan praktik pembelajaran dan pembentukan komunitas secara virtual, menuntut para pendidik untuk menavigasi ketegangan antara keotentikan spiritual dan inovasi digital. Ketika pendidikan abad ke-21 menekankan kreativitas, kolaborasi, dan berpikir kritis, para pendidik Kristen juga perlu mendefinisikan kembali kepemimpinan mereka sebagai panggilan yang mempersatukan iman, etika, dan pedagogi. Transformasi ini menempatkan guru bukan sekadar sebagai pengajar, melainkan sebagai mentor rohani yang menghidupi kepemimpinan melayani dan transformatif dalam konteks pembelajaran digital. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengembangkan kerangka teologis dan pedagogis untuk pembentukan iman digital serta kepemimpinan guru dalam pendidikan Kristen kontemporer. Dengan menggunakan metode teologis kualitatif dan analisis berbasis literatur, penelitian ini berlandaskan pada prinsip-prinsip biblika serta kajian ilmiah dalam bidang teologi, pendidikan, dan pedagogi digital. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembentukan iman dalam konteks digital harus tetap bersifat relasional, partisipatif, dan berakar pada model inkarnasional Kristus. Kepemimpinan yang efektif mengintegrasikan kerendahan hati, integritas moral, dan kepekaan terhadap teknologi untuk menopang pertumbuhan rohani yang otentik. Studi ini memberikan kontribusi dengan menjembatani teologi dan pedagogi, menawarkan model holistik bagi para pendidik Kristen abad ke-21 yang berakar pada spiritualitas Kristen dan kompeten secara digital.   Kontribusi: Penelitian ini memperkaya pendidikan Kristen dengan mengintegrasikan teologi, pedagogi, dan literasi digital ke dalam satu kerangka utuh yang memberdayakan pendidik Kristen sebagai pemimpin rohani dalam konteks pembelajaran digital.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the relationship between the doctrine of the Trinity and three key aspects of Christian life: contemplation, community, and compassion. The Trinitarian doctrine, which describes the relationship between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in one divine essence, forms the foundation for understanding a relational and transformative spiritual life. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate how the concept of the Trinity is applied in the everyday life of Christians, particularly in practices such as contemplation that draws one closer to God, building church communities that reflect unity and diversity, and engaging in bold acts of compassion toward others. The methodology involves a theological literature review with a focus on systematic theology and pastoral application, as well as practical analysis of how Trinitarian teachings are implemented within the church and broader society. The results show that contemplation, community, and compassion are not only theological concepts but are actively practiced in ways that connect Christians to the Trinitarian life. By living out the teachings of the Trinity, Christians are invited into relational support, reflecting God's love, and transforming the world through courageous and sacrificial acts of love. This study contributes by providing a theological framework that connects the doctrine of the Trinity with Christian practices of contemplation, community, and compassion, offering both spiritual insights and practical applications for living out Trinitarian love in everyday life.

Abstract

The tabernacle is a Biblical institution as a place of God's presence among His people that was not suddenly created, just as the existence of God's people itself has historical traces and did not suddenly form. This paper provides a chronological view of God's presence until His presence is accommodated by an institution as the place where God dwells called the Tabernacle. The chronology will be discussed from the point of view of Biblical history by presenting facts that state explicitly or implicitly regarding the presence of God, and which are also related to the promise in the "Tabernacle’s Tripartite" formula from Genesis to the book of Revelation, which apparently coincides with "evolution". the place of God's presence, from the Tabernacle which is "non-permanent" to the Temple which is more impressed "permanent", then it is in the "tent" of the body of Jesus, as well as believers so that the place of God's presence becomes spiritual. Then the implications for believers as a "Tabernacle or Temple" where God's presence in the Holy Spirit.
