Abstract

This study aims to explore and analyze the development of views on Jesus Christ from both historical and theological perspectives, and to assess their relevance for contemporary Christian life. This research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing literature review and hermeneutic analysis to understand the manifestation and meaning of Jesus across various historical and theological contexts. Data is gathered through the examination of biblical texts, church documents, and theological literature from Christian thinkers throughout history. The analysis is conducted thematically to identify key themes in the understanding of Jesus, ranging from His identity as the Jewish Messiah to His significance in modern and postmodern Christian theology. The findings indicate that, despite the many interpretations and controversies surrounding the historical Jesus and the Christ of faith, the core teaching of Jesus as the Savior remains steadfast. Efforts to reconstruct Jesus in the modern context—such as those by Reimarus, Strauss, Bultmann, and the Jesus Seminar—offer alternative perspectives, but the foundational ideas of Jesus' divinity and His role in human salvation remain central to Christian faith. Additionally, the study reveals that Jesus is not only relevant in historical or doctrinal contexts but also in the lived experience of believers amidst current social and moral challenges. This research emphasizes the need for a more holistic and contextual approach to understanding Jesus Christ, helping Christians connect His teachings to contemporary issues such as justice, solidarity, and human dignity. It also highlights the importance of dialogue between theology, history, and culture in maintaining the relevance of Christian faith in a pluralistic and globalized world. Consequently, Jesus Christ remains the central figure of faith, not only doctrinally but also practically in the everyday lives of Christians worldwide.

Abstract

This paper contends that the contextual worship debate ought to go beyond issues of style adjustment and aesthetic appropriateness to a more stringent practical-theological description of how worship conveys faith, shapes ecclesial identity and is not subject to instrumental diminution. With an interpretive library research design, the article peruses the theory of communicative action by Jurgen Habermas and some of the most significant discussions in practical theology, liturgical studies, digital ecclesiology, and Indonesian contextual theology. It is revealed that the best way to understand worship is as communicative-theological praxis where the truth claims, normative claims, and expressive claims are united in the lifeworld of the church. In that regard, cultural proximity, technological sophistication, or numerical appeal cannot be considered as a judgment of contextualization. It has to be assessed on whether it maintains theological fidelity, enhances communicative intelligibility, nurtures participatory reciprocity and fosters ethical-transformative fruit in community life. One of the new aspects of the article is the suggestion of these four criteria as an evaluation tool to differentiate between contextualization and instrumentalization. The existence of such a framework enables the evaluation of digital, hybrid, and culture-based worship practices without either reduction to nostalgic traditionalism or market-driven innovationism. The conclusion of the study is that practical theology is a critical and constructive exercise: it assists churches to make the gospel relevant to them in specific cultural ways and to protect worship against being turned into a spectacle or a product, an efficient religious service.

Abstract

This article reports on a qualitative, normative theological study that employs contextual hermeneutics within a Christian social ethics framework to examine how the Renungan Harian Keluarga (RHK), a weekly devotional publication, of Gereja Masehi Injili di Minahasa (GMIM), in North Sulawesi province, Indonesia, constructs peace and neighborliness in Indonesia’s plural society. This study aims to analyze how RHK constructs ethical visions of “peace” and “neighbor” within Indonesia’s plural society. Using contextual hermeneutics within Christian social ethics, this study analyzes 38 weekly RHK editions published from January to October 2025. The findings reveal that RHK consistently affirms universal principles such as justice, love, and human dignity. Its practical application remains largely intra-communal. “Neighbor” is predominantly framed as fellow believers, and “peace” as ecclesial harmony, rarely extending to explicit engagement with others. The study concludes that RHK demonstrates strong internal ethics but limited public ethics, reflecting benevolent insularity rather than intentional inclusiveness. This gap calls for a devotional pedagogy that explicitly names the religious other as a neighbor, thereby equipping the congregants to embody Imago Dei and shalom in Indonesia’s diverse democracy. The article contributes to Christian social ethics and public theology, as well as to the sociology of religion, peace studies, and intergroup relations, by showing how everyday devotional texts shape moral imagination in plural democracies.

Abstract

This paper reinvents the idea of public theology within the Indonesian context by developing friendship as a relational, epistemic, and praxis-based category instead of defining public theology as institutional speech, commentary of policy, or moral intervention. The research begins at a threefold distance. To begin with, influential public theology scholarship has eloquently elucidated the public work of theology, but has favored discourse, civil society, and institutional ethics to thick descriptions of interpersonal relationality. Second, the recent discussions in Indonesia have fruitfully engaged friendship as a leading grammar of public theological engagement across religious difference but have failed to develop friendship as a leading grammar of nationalism, polarization, religious moderation, and contextual theology. Third, the readings of John 4 have frequently been focused on mission, gender or interfaith dialogue, but have seldom been incorporated into a constructive model of public theology in plural societies. The article has a qualitative, constructive theological design, which implies the combination of literature-based analysis of the key debates in the field of public theology and contextual theology with the contextual hermeneutical analysis of the text of John 4:5-26, with reference to John 4:42 where necessary. This article posits that friendship must be conceptualized in three interrelated ways, as relational epistemology, that friendship imparts humility, reciprocity and solidarity; and as public praxis, that friendship establishes joint spaces and collaborative working areas without obliterating theological difference. It is argued that an effective Indonesian public theology should transcend a thin politics of tolerance to a thicker form of friendship that is dialogical, cross-boundary and publicly accountable. By doing this, the article adds to the transferable framework of global public theology in plural societies but is still grounded in Indonesian realities.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami dan mendeskripsikan pengalaman hidup lansia penderita hipertensi dalam memaknai spiritualitas, sakit, dan ketaatan pengobatan di Jemaat GMIM Betlehem Lansot, serta merumuskan implikasi pastoral yang kontekstual berdasarkan pengalaman tersebut. Penelitian ini bermanfaat secara teoretis bagi pengembangan kajian teologi pastoral dan fenomenologi, serta secara praktis bagi gereja dalam mengembangkan pendampingan lansia yang mengintegrasikan dimensi spiritual, medis, keluarga, dan budaya. Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologi. Informan dipilih secara purposif, terdiri atas delapan lansia penderita hipertensi dan dua informan kunci, yaitu pendeta dan penatua. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi partisipatif dan wawancara mendalam, kemudian dianalisis melalui epoché/bracketing, identifikasi pernyataan signifikan, pengelompokan unit makna, serta penyusunan deskripsi tekstural dan struktural untuk menemukan esensi pengalaman. Hasil penelitian menemukan tiga esensi utama, yaitu sakit sebagai pengalaman eksistensial dalam perspektif providensia Calvin, ketaatan pengobatan sebagai dialektika iman dan akal dalam terang costly grace Bonhoeffer, serta budaya dan relasi sosial sebagai horizon makna melalui mapalus dan semali/masaali dalam dialog dengan Niebuhr. Penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa pendampingan pastoral perlu berangkat dari pengalaman lansia melalui proses mendengarkan, refleksi teologis, penguatan jejaring keluarga dan komunitas, serta dukungan terhadap tindakan pengobatan yang bertanggung jawab. Gereja perlu mengembangkan model pendampingan pastoral yang personal, kontekstual, dan berkelanjutan.
