Abstract

The theme hospitality has become an emerging theme for recent theological explorations. The theme is prominent in the entire Bible and is relevant to the current global issues such as religious pluralism, immigrants, even ecological challenges. This article seeks to show the centrality of divine hospitality in the Bible and how it is clearly reflected in the Pentecost narrative in Acts 2. Furthermore, this article seeks to demonstrate how theology of hospitality could be relevant to fostering intra and inter-religious harmony, especially in the context of Indonesia. The hospitality of the Spirit as shown in Pentecost shapes the body of Christ as a community of hospitality that would use gifts of the spirit not for self-aggrandizement but to serve other. Hospitality is also a theological statement. When Christians are being hospitable towards the religious other, they embody the hospitality of God, and thus participating in the mission of God.

Abstract

This article explores the relationship between secular law and religious morality within Indonesia’s legal system, which is built upon a symbiotic principle between the state and religion. Unlike strictly secular or theocratic states, Indonesia adopts a unique approach by integrating religious values into its legal framework through the ideological foundation of Pancasila and the constitutional mandate of the 1945 Constitution. This study employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach, focusing on Scopus-indexed publications and analyzed through content analysis techniques. The findings reveal that while Indonesia’s legal system normatively guarantees religious freedom, in practice, it still encounters challenges such as intolerance, the politicization of religion, discrimination against minority groups, and conflict among coexisting legal systems. The article concludes that the relationship between the state and religion in Indonesia requires structural and cultural reinforcement to achieve substantive justice and uphold the protection of diversity in a democratic society. This study contributes conceptually to the discourse on law and religion and offers practical implications for Christian education and the development of tolerant, justice-oriented citizens

Abstract

Keadilan merupakan nilai moral dan institusional yang sangat penting dalam membentuk struktur hukum, masyarakat, dan iman. Studi ini menyajikan tinjauan literatur sistematis (Systematic Literature Review/SLR) dengan pendekatan PRISMA untuk mensintesiskan dan menganalisis secara kritis konsep keadilan dari perspektif sistem hukum sekuler dan teologi Kristen. Keadilan dalam hukum menekankan pada keadilan prosedural, kesetaraan di hadapan hukum, dan rasionalitas formal. Sebaliknya, dalam teologi Kristen, keadilan dipahami sebagai perwujudan kasih Allah yang restoratif, penuh belas kasih, dan berpihak kepada yang tertindas. Dengan menelaah pemikiran tokoh-tokoh seperti Agustinus, Thomas Aquinas, Reinhold Niebuhr, dan Nicholas Wolterstorff, artikel ini mengungkap dimensi moral dan relasional dari keadilan Kristen. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa integrasi pendekatan hukum dan teologi Kristen dapat memperkaya pemahaman keadilan secara lebih menyeluruh dan etis dalam masyarakat pluralistik. Sintesis ini penting untuk membangun kebijakan publik yang adil dan etika hukum yang manusiawi. Kajian ini juga menegaskan bahwa iman memiliki peran vital dalam memotivasi tindakan keadilan sosial. Pada akhirnya, keadilan dipahami bukan hanya sebagai norma legal, tetapi sebagai komitmen moral yang transformatif dan berakar pada kasih serta iman yang aktif.

Abstract

Abstract: This study examines the historical relationship between Christianity and ecology, highlighting the dynamics between criticism and constructive engagement within Christian traditions regarding environmental issues. The research employs a systematic literature review to identify and analyze relevant studies. The findings reveal that Christianity, while often criticized for its contributions to ecological degradation, also holds significant potential to support ecological sustainability through its teachings and practices. A historical perspective illustrates how Christian doctrines advocate for a symbiotic relationship between humans and nature. This study further explores how Christian ethical principles can contribute to environmental conservation. Through a review of existing literature, the research demonstrates that Christian beliefs can encourage sustainable practices despite challenges in integrating religious values. These findings underscore Christianity's substantial potential to contribute to environmental conservation through a holistic ethical and spiritual approach. The implications of this study highlight the importance of engaging Christian communities in environmental movements through approaches rooted in religious values. By leveraging Christian ethical principles, ecological organizations, and policymakers can bridge the gap between spirituality and sustainable practices. Furthermore, this research creates opportunities for interdisciplinary dialogue between religion and environmental science, emphasizing the need for strategies that integrate religious values into global sustainability initiatives.
