Abstract

The book written by Grant Skeldon and Ryan Casey Waller focuses on the discussion of discipleship in the church. This is done because most churches and youth ministers do not really understand the meaning of discipleship itself. Discipleship is often thought of as small group ministry, mentoring, and doctrinal study classes. Through this book, Skeldon and Waller explain that discipleship is a person's habit of following others who are more spiritually advanced than themselves. That is why, the essence of discipleship is the relationship between the discipler and the young people as disciples. This works especially well with millennials whose lives are driven by purpose and desire. So, they can follow the person who guides them according to their wishes. In addition, Skeldon and Waller also explained that it is not only the church and youth ministries who play a role in discipling this millennial generation. However, parents must also have faith in Christ in order to guide their children in faith in Jesus Christ.

Abstract

The book “Kembali ke Masa Lalu, Solusi Masa Kini” by Agustinus M.L. Batlajery was born out of concern over two issues: the tendency of contextual theology to disregard the Bible and church tradition, and the threat of radical groups seeking to replace Pancasila as the foundational ideology of the Indonesian state. Batlajery invites readers to learn from the 16th-century church reformation led by Martin Luther and John Calvin, who returned to the sources of Christian faith—namely, the Bible and the writings of the Church Fathers, especially Augustine. The second chapter highlights the importance of a contextual theology that remains rooted in the tradition of faith while being relevant to the realities of society, particularly in Indonesia. In the third chapter, Batlajery offers a solution in the form of the concept of a “Pancasila Renaissance,” a call to return to Pancasila as the foundation of national and societal life. Just as the church reformation was grounded in the past, Batlajery emphasizes that Indonesia’s future must be built by returning to the authentic values of Pancasila.
