Abstract

This study aims to elaborate on Neoplatonic problems in the context of the concept and theological study of the Trinitarian doctrine and the Athanasian Creed (298-373) which states "Una Substantia Tres Personae", and explain its implications for Christian religious education. The approach used in this study is the literary method, which is particularly relevant for understanding and analyzing Neoplatonic thought in the context of the theology of the Trinitarian doctrine and the Athanasian Creed. Athanasius emphasized that although there are three persons in the Trinity, they share the same essence, which is "una substantia". The influence of Neoplatonism, which included ideas about the world of ideas and higher reality, created a complex framework of thought in understanding the relationship between God and creation. Therefore, Christian education needs to educate students about the history and context behind the doctrine of the Trinity, so that students can better appreciate the complexity and depth of this teaching. In addition, it also serves to avoid simplification that can reduce the meaning of the Trinitarian doctrine in daily life. Christian religious education should also include intertheological dialogue with a critical approach that encourages students to question and explore their own understanding.

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the challenges of implementing the E1 concept and identify opportunities in the mission of the church in the GKI Port Numbay Jayapura Classis. The literature review approach is the method used in this study, because it provides the theoretical foundation and context needed to understand the application of the concept of Ralph Winter (E1) missionaries in the church mission in the GKI Port Numbay Classis. The literature review also includes an analysis of the challenges faced in the application of the E1 concept. The E1 concept, emphasizing mission in a cultural context, demonstrates the urgent need to understand and appreciate local cultures. This requires the church to innovate in the way the gospel message is delivered to be relevant to the local context. There is a great opportunity to build close relationships with local communities. Programs that involve the active participation of congregations showing increased attendance and their involvement in services are expected to serve as agents of change that not only spread the gospel but also empower local communities (congregations). It is hoped that the church will continue to innovate in mission methods that are in accordance with the cultural and social context of the community, so that it can reach more individuals and communities

Abstract

Pendidikan Kristen memainkan peran penting dalam membentuk karakter dan moralitas individu, terutama dalam konteks masyarakat yang semakin kompleks dan beragam. Namun, terdapat tantangan dalam praktiknya, yaitu kurangnya pendekatan interdisipliner yang dapat memperkaya pengajaran dan relevansi materi ajar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi dan mengembangkan model didaktika interdisipliner dalam pendidikan Kristen yang dapat diterapkan secara praktis. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi literatur, yang melibatkan pengumpulan, analisis, dan sintesis informasi dari berbagai sumber terpercaya, seperti buku dan artikel jurnal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa integrasi berbagai disiplin ilmu, seperti psikologi, sosiologi, dan etika, dalam pembelajaran berbasis nilai Kristen dapat meningkatkan pemahaman dan keterlibatan siswa. Siswa yang terlibat dalam pembelajaran interdisipliner menunjukkan peningkatan dalam kemampuan berpikir kritis dan relevansi materi ajar dengan konteks sosial yang nyata. Selain itu, penelitian ini menyoroti perlunya pelatihan bagi pendidik untuk memahami pendekatan ini, serta pengembangan kurikulum yang mengintegrasikan nilai-nilai spiritual dengan isu-isu kontemporer. Hasil penelitian ini dapat memberikan kontribusi penting bagi praktek pendidikan Kristen dan menawarkan solusi untuk tantangan yang ada.
