This study investigates the perceptions of tolerance held by students at UIN Bandung and Parahyangan Catholic University (UNPAR), two religiously affiliated postsecondary educational establishments in Bandung. The data for this research was gathered through document reviews and interviews using a qualitative methodology. Fifty students from UIN Bandung and fifty from UNPAR Bandung were interviewed. This study discovers that students' perceptions of their religious textsâ€”the Bible and the Qur'anâ€”have an impact on how tolerant they are Socially, it is discovered that Indonesians' conception of tolerance has a national dimension based on the national ideology. Religious and social concepts provide these kids with the foundation for tolerance in a variety of ways. Students at UIN Bandung continue to exhibit tolerance, but only within the framework of their religionâ€”Islam. On the other hand, tolerance is practiced in both the social and individual environments at UNPAR, a campus that is more diverse and cosmopolitan. Collaboration strengthens the two student groups' tolerant attitudes. This collaboration later initiated the birth of the Halaqah Damai (Circle of Peace) as a forum for the two student groups to have dialogue and understand the essence of religious tolerance to be disseminated in their respective environments.

The prophetical offices are always started with prophetic call narrative. There are several unique elements in this prophetic call narrative, which can be found in prophetic call moments of the prophets, namely the role of God’s Words, the appearance of God (theophany) in its variety, and the delegation mission task. What is interesting to analyze is the variety of God’s appearances (theophany), since the varieties depend on the context of each prophet and the delegation mission tasks given to them. This article discusses the prophetic call narrative of Jeremiah. At first sight, the calling and delegation moments of Jeremiah resembles Isaiah and Ezekiel’s, especially in God’s hands and the prophet’s mouth activity. Nevertheless, in Jeremiah’s prophetic call narrative, God’s activities have a special meaning related to his context. In Jeremiah’s case, the act of God touching his mouth and putting His words into it is the emphasis of the authenticity of God’s Words that comes out of Jeremiah’s mouth. The authenticity is needed by Jeremiah because he has to face false prophets.

Among the myriad of human behaviours, few may provoke the wrath of God such as that of ‘sexual asininity’ (pathe atimias). An expression literally meaning ‘lust for impurity’ or ‘shameful desire’, this refers to homosexual acts be they feminine or masculine. In his letter to Rome 1:18-32, Paul asserts the gravity of this sin as evoking the ire of God upon their heads, the reasons being not only this sin confronts the natural will of the Creator, but even more so for its inclination in leading human to idolatry. Paul clarifies that homosexuality is not the issue per se, but all acts in whatever form they be, should they violate God’s will are displeasing to God. Paul’s starting point was not that of homosexuality leading up to idolatry. On the contrary, the text quotes Paul as explaining that idolatry is the result of erroneous relationship between human and God mirrored in aberrant sexuality. Human errs due to the bond between human and God is not firm. The logical consequence of God’s wrath is punishment. In other words, human’s transgression brings the wrath of God. God’s wrath is not part of the judgment, but a logical consequence streaming from the ill-relationship between the Creator and the creation. Punishment befalls the humankind because of the deviation of the creation’s nature.

Renouncing the reality of plurality and multiculturality can provoke religious violence and social conflicts. The emergence of violence might have been one of the consequences of the deteriorating role of education, particularly the religious education, in the society. As part of the national education system in Indonesia, religious education bears on its shoulders the responsibility to propagate the values of plurality and multiculturality. It also disseminates other related values such as inclusiveness and tolerance, which are of paramount significance in building a society characterised by peace, harmony, solidarity, and respect to people of different cultures and religions. It is therefore an important role of Islamic Religious Education and Catholic Religious Education in Indonesia to cultivate ways of thinking that support plurality and multiculturality. This article analyses degrees of integration of plurality and multiculturality understanding in the 2013 curricula of Islamic Religious Education and Catholic Religious Education in high schools. The students’ better understanding of plurality and multiculturality can help them promote the above mentioned values as part of God-given reality in the society.

One of the reporting strategies is dialogue. Acts 17:16-34 describes Paul's dialogical way of proclaiming the Gospel to the Athenians. First, he used public spaces to meet, communicate, and interact with Athenians. Second, he regarded the Athenians as partners in discussion. Third, he used the richness of local Athenian culture as an entry point for his sermons and corrected them. In this way, Paul knew and understood their mindset and lifestyle. Although it has not succeeded in converting the Athenians, it offers an alternative preaching strategy. The next question is how this strategy can be applied today. This paper uses the text analysis method to find the stages of the procedure used in current reporting. Thus, the proclamation of the Church not only elevates the context of society but also makes a positive contribution to them. Therefore, Paul's narrative in Acts 17:16-34 can be a model approach for the Church to realize a dialogical proclamation.

This study analyzes Reinhold Niebuhr’s Christian Realism as a framework of political ethics for addressing the multipolar geopolitical crisis of the twenty-first century. The study emerges from the limitations of mainstream international relations theories, such as realism, liberalism, constructivism, and critical geopolitics, which have not adequately provided a normative foundation for responding to global conflicts, structural injustice, neoliberalism, and contemporary digital geopolitics. The study employs a qualitative approach based on library research and focuses on theological and hermeneutical analyses of Reinhold Niebuhr’s thought. The researcher collected data through documentation studies and academic literature reviews, while the analysis employed hermeneutical interpretation, interdisciplinary dialogue, and normative synthesis. The primary sources include Niebuhr’s major works, especially Moral Man and Immoral Society and The Nature and Destiny of Man, along with various scholarly works on political theology and contemporary geopolitics. The findings demonstrate that Christian Realism offers a framework of political ethics that realistically acknowledges human sin and egoism while maintaining a normative commitment to justice and moral responsibility in global politics. Christian Realism operates at epistemological, normative, and practical levels in interpreting multipolarity, international conflict, neoliberalism, and global digital domination. The implications of this study indicate that Christian Realism can function as an alternative framework of global political ethics capable of bridging political realism and moral values within the context of contemporary systemic chaos. The originality of this study lies in its effort to reconstruct Christian Realism as a framework of geopolitical ethics that responds contextually to multipolarity and digital geopolitics in the twenty-first century.

This study aims to analyze whether Religieuses du Sacré-Coeur de Jésus (RSCJ) can be categorized as a religious social movement and to explain the characteristics of this movement based on the principal missions it has developed. The study employs a qualitative approach using the library research method and utilizes social movement theories developed by Sydney Tarrow, Max Weber, Talcott Parsons, and Neil J. Smelser as its analytical framework. The findings reveal that the emergence of RSCJ cannot be separated from the context of the French Revolution and the development of modernism, both of which encouraged various forms of social and religious reform. The study also demonstrates that RSCJ can be understood as a value-oriented religious social movement that translates the spirituality of the Sacred Heart of Jesus into collective action through education, interreligious dialogue, and the promotion of spirituality and a culture of peace. The implications of this study indicate that spirituality-based religious social movements play a strategic role in strengthening education, fostering interfaith dialogue, and developing a culture of peace within increasingly pluralistic and complex societies. The originality of this study lies in its effort to position RSCJ within the perspective of religious social movements, thereby expanding the fields of sociology of religion and social movement studies, which have traditionally focused on mainstream religious organizations and civil society–based social movements.

This study aims to examine Muhammadiyah as a contemporary social movement rooted in religion in Indonesia and to explore how its role and influence shape educational institutions. Employing a bibliographic review combined with interviews and supported by historical analysis, this research is grounded in a sociological framework. Through this approach, the presence of Muhammadiyah can be examined scientifically using the perspective of new social movement theory, particularly through resource mobilization theory and identity-based theory. The findings indicate that both theoretical approaches are applicable, with identity-oriented theory taking precedence, followed by resource mobilization analysis. Muhammadiyah is portrayed as an organization that introduces a transformative model within Indonesia’s religiously inspired social movements. Within the framework of identity-oriented theory, Muhammadiyah represents both a collective identity and an ideological foundation. Meanwhile, resource mobilization theory highlights how Islam and Muhammadiyah function as platforms for mobilizing organizational resources, with the primary support originating from its members. Practically, this mobilization is reflected in philanthropic initiatives and the empowerment of Muhammadiyah’s charitable institutions. Previous scholarly works are reaffirmed in this study, demonstrating that Muhammadiyah, as a major Islamic movement, has made a significant contribution to shaping Indonesian society into a more educated and socially conscious community. For this reason, Muhammadiyah can be regarded as a transformative Islamic movement. Ultimately, this article contributes to the discourse on modernist Islamic thought, particularly within the framework of tajdid or Islamic renewal.

Disasters are an inseparable part of the dynamics of human history. The texts of the Old Testament Scriptures contain various kinds of disaster narratives. In turn, these texts provide images and interpretations of disasters. There are three images and interpretations of Old Testament Scriptures for disasters. First, as Godâ€™s judgment and punishment. Second, as a result of human persecution of nature, and as a presence, power. Third, Godâ€™s sovereignty over nature. This study has two objectives: to describe images and interpretations and to find their relevance to the current meaning of disasters. First, it describes the imagery and interpretation of disasters in the Old Testament Scriptures. Second, find the significance of these images and interpretations in interpreting disasters in human life today. This research uses text analysis methods to achieve these two objectives as a qualitative literature study. This research finds the conclusion and the relevance of images and interpretations of disasters in the Old Testament Scriptures as an invitation to carry out â€˜ecological repentanceâ€™.Â AbstrakBencana merupakan bagian yang tidak terpisahkan dari dinamika sejarah kehidupan manusia. Teks-teks Kitab Suci Perjanjian Lama memuat aneka macam narasi kebencanaan. Pada gilirannya, teks-teks ini memberikan imaji dan interpretasi atas bencana. Ada tiga imaji dan interpretasi teks-teks Kitab Suci Perjanjian Lama atas bencana. Pertama, sebagai penghakiman dan hukuman Tuhan. Kedua, sebagai akibat penganiayaan manusia terhadap alam, dan sebagai kehadiran, kuasa. Ketiga, kedaulatan Tuhan atas alam. Guna mendeskripsikan imaji dan interpretasi sekaligus menemukan relevansinya untuk pemaknaan bencana yang terjadi saat ini penelitian ini memiliki dua tujuan. Pertama, mendeskripsikan imaji dan interpretasi bencana dalam Kitab Suci Perjanjian Lama. Kedua, mencari dan menemukan relevansi imaji dan interpretasi tersebut dalam memaknai bencana dalam kehidupan manusia dewasa ini. Untuk mencapai kedua tujuan itu, sebagai penelitian kualitatif literatur, penelitian ini memakai metode analisis teks. Penelitian ini menemukan simpulan sekaligus relevansi imaji dan interpretasi bencana dalam Kitab Suci Perjanjian lama itu dalam wujud ajakan untuk melaksanakan â€˜pertobatan ekologisâ€™.
