Abstract

This research examines the practical implications of integrating ethical values, spirituality and philosophical principles in Christian religious education. Through the perspective of philosophy of science, especially in relation to values and morals, this research assesses how Christian religious education can respond to the challenges of globalization and technological development, while avoiding mystical teachings and religious manipulation. The research uses a qualitative method. Analysis was conducted through case study studies supported by literature references to produce a holistic understanding of the integration of philosophy of science and Christian religious education. The results revealed that the interaction between the philosophical foundation of scientific inquiry and the transcendent moral, ethical, and spiritual dimensions has great potential to enhance the practical relevance, social impact, and holistic resonance of Christian religious education. A deep integration of the empirical domain and spiritual values can bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and the values of human life. This approach opens new avenues for the development of educational practices that are attuned to the moral and intellectual needs of a global society. Christian religious education needs to maintain its relevance in the modern era by balancing religious values, philosophy and science. Moral guidance from the Bible provides a key foundation for creating meaningful social impact and building a morally and intellectually balanced society. This integrative perspective brings synergy that enriches the empirical and experiential realms, while empowering individuals and communities holistically.

Abstract

Perkembangan teologi Kristen di Indonesia dalam beberapa dekade terakhir menunjukkan dinamika yang kompleks, terutama dengan adanya polarisasi di antara komunitas Kristen. Polarisasi ini sering kali dipicu oleh perbedaan pendekatan terhadap teks Alkitab, tradisi liturgi, dan respons terhadap isu-isu sosial-politik. Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi faktor-faktor yang melatarbelakangi polarisasi tersebut, termasuk pengaruh sejarah kolonial, interaksi dengan budaya lokal, serta dampak globalisasi dan modernitas. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan holistik dan studi literatur, tulisan ini menggali bagaimana polarisasi ini memengaruhi kesatuan komunitas Kristen dan persepsi masyarakat luas terhadap kekristenan. Selain itu, penelitian ini menawarkan kebaharuan melalui analisis mendalam terhadap potensi dialog dan rekonsiliasi di antara kelompok konservatif dan progresif. Peran organisasi ekumenis, seperti Persekutuan Gereja-Gereja di Indonesia, juga dibahas sebagai upaya menjembatani perbedaan. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi signifikan terhadap studi teologi di Indonesia, baik dalam konteks akademik maupun praktis, dengan menawarkan langkah-langkah konkret untuk memperkuat kesatuan dan relevansi kekristenan di tengah masyarakat pluralistik.
