Abstract

Christian theology in the postmodern era faces significant challenges driven by relativism, pluralism, and secularism, as well as the rapid advancement of digital technology. This study aims to examine the contextualisation of Christian theology in response to the dynamics of popular culture, focusing on the application of relevant theology in the virtual world without compromising the principles of the Gospel. The method employed is content analysis of both classical and contemporary theological literature. The findings of the research indicate that digital technology can be utilised by the Church to build an inclusive and transformative faith community while maintaining the integrity of Christian teachings. This study reveals the importance of contextualising theology in the digital realm, which not only addresses the challenges of the present age but also responds to the spiritual needs of postmodern society, creating space for a more relevant, Christ-centred Church mission.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the significance of Christ's humility and sacrifice, particularly through His emptying and death on the cross, and its implications in alleviating interpersonal and social conflicts. Adopting a qualitative approach, the study employs literature review and content analysis methods to examine biblical texts, theological works, and modern theories on conflict and reconciliation. The research focuses on how the principles of Christ's humility and sacrifice, exemplified in His self-emptying action to serve humanity, can be applied to resolve conflicts and restore relationships between individuals. The findings of this study indicate that Christ's teachings provide a relevant model for reconciliation and peacebuilding, both in personal life and on a broader social scale. The novelty of this research lies in linking the theological values of Christ with contemporary conflict resolution theories, offering new insights into the role of humility and sacrifice in addressing social tensions. This study contributes to understanding the relevance of Christ's teachings in the context of current conflicts.

The research methodology involves a study of Biblical texts and a qualitative content analysis approach applied to relevant literature. The findings underscore the importance of the life example, service, and teachings of Jesus Christ in shaping character aligned with Christian values in education.

Abstract

This study explores the theological and practical significance of the Lord’s Supper within its soteriological, koinonia, missional, and eschatological dimensions. Employing biblical analysis, theological literature review, and field observations, this research offers a profound understanding of the Lord’s Supper and its application in contemporary church practices. The integrative approach adopted combines both theological and practical aspects, affirming that the Lord’s Supper is not merely an institutional rite but a command of Christ, rich in meaning. The findings reveal that the Lord’s Supper serves as a reminder of Christ’s sacrifice while also strengthening the eschatological hope of the Christian community. This study underscores the importance of eschatological understanding in worship and daily life, contributing to the development of church practices that are more mission-oriented and eschatologically focused.

Abstract

This article discusses the complexity and diversity of the concept of culture in the context of anthropology by exploring the multi-faceted discourse on the definition of culture and its components. Through an analysis of the frameworks proposed by various anthropologists such as Edward Burnett Tylor, Clifford Geertz, and Koentjaraningrat, this article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the understanding of culture from various perspectives. Qualitative method with a content analysis approach is employed to explore the definitions of culture expressed in relevant academic literature. The results of the analysis identify common patterns, key themes, and variations in the views of experts on culture. By highlighting the importance of cultural pluralism and avoiding essentialism, this article asserts that culture is not static but always evolving over time. A deeper understanding of culture and cultural pluralism is expected to promote better intercultural dialogue and build a more inclusive and tolerant global society. Thus, this article makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of the diversity of human culture and offers a strong foundation for further research in this field

Abstract

This study investigates the interplay between Dani cultural values and Christian ethics, focusing on how contextual evangelism can be effectively implemented within the Dani community in Papua. Utilizing a qualitative approach with an ethnographic methodology, the research combines field observations and content analysis to explore the impact of traditional Dani beliefs, particularly those encapsulated in the Nabelan-Kabelan and Naruekul mythologies, on Christian ethics and practices. Field observations involve immersive engagement with the Dani people to understand their cultural practices and religious expressions, while content analysis of relevant literature provides a theoretical foundation for interpreting these practices within the context of Christian teachings. The findings reveal that traditional Dani beliefs present both challenges and opportunities for contextual evangelism, highlighting the need for a nuanced approach that respects cultural values while introducing Christian ethics. The study concludes with recommendations for effective evangelistic strategies that integrate cultural insights with biblical teachings to foster ethical transformation and spiritual growth within the Dani community.
