Abstract

This article discusses the proactive movement of Christian religious education in responding to social inequalities. Christian religious education has the potential to transform the attitudes and behaviors of individuals and communities, motivating them to actively combat social injustice. Through the teaching of Christian values such as love, justice, and solidarity, Christian religious education can build strong social awareness and encourage concrete actions to address social disparities. This research employs a qualitative literature review aimed at elucidating the progressive proactive stance of Christian religious education in responding to the challenges of social inequality. The discussion yields several opportunities for Christian religious education in addressing social disparities: sensitivity to social issues, fostering inclusivity, empowering individuals in need, and engaging in dialectics.

Abstract

This article explores how the love of Christ, as taught in the New Testament, inspired socialist attitudes and its relevance in the contemporary social and economic context. Although the term socialism is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, the essence of socialist values ​​such as togetherness, social justice, and equal distribution of prosperity is found in the teachings of Jesus Christ. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a constructive theological approach. This article analyzes key New Testament texts to identify the practical implementation of these teachings in modern society. Christ's universal and inclusive love, as reflected in various Bible passages, teaches togetherness, sharing, special attention to the poor and oppressed, and opposition to economic injustice. By internalizing and applying the teachings of Christ's love, Christian communities can function as significant agents of change in efforts to create a more just and prosperous society.
