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.

Abstract

One of the important aspects of the church as a community of followers of Jesus Christ in this world is the growth of the congregation in quantity and quality. The Church as an organization must carry out various well-planned actions under the leadership of its servants and activists to achieve this goal. One part of theology called Harvest Theology focuses on how the followers of Christ should harvest the fields that have turned yellow so that the souls are brought to Christ to receive the salvation He has promised for all people. To make all followers of Christ reapers, transformational leadership is needed that can create a vision and carry it out with all its members. To demonstrate the role of transformational leadership in the implementation of Harvest Theology, this study uses a qualitative method. This study will show how important it is for church leaders who have transformational leadership to transform their members to achieve the Lord's purpose to make all people His disciples. This process of transformation is very important to be done well in every church because it is for this purpose that God calls everyone to be a witness of Christ in a world corrupted by evil. Transformational leaders are needed by the church to make changes that are recognized and followed by its members.
