Abstract

Amidst the numerous proclamations claiming to be the gospel of Christ, messages that deviate from the core of the Gospel of Christ while cloaked in the name of Christ and the Gospel itself, a proper understanding of the term “different gospel” becomes essential for the preservation of Christian doctrinal orthodoxy. This article explores the theological meaning of the phrase "different gospel" in Galatians 1:6 and its implications for contemporary Christian’s orthodoxy. The research employs a hermeneutical approach (contextual, historical, lexical) and patristic study, particularly focusing on the writings of Tertullian, John Chrysostom, and Vincent of Lerins. The findings indicate that "another gospel" includes any message deviating from the Gospel of Christ—whether by obscuring Christ’s redemptive work, adding legalistic requirements for salvation, or ignoring the call to repentance. The integration of biblical interpretation and patristic witness emphasizes the importance of upholding apostolic doctrinal unity to preserve the purity of faith. This study contributes to the understanding and defense of Christian orthodoxy in response to doctrinal deviations.

Abstract

This study examines the theological significance of Pentecost through a hermeneutical and dogmatic approach within the Eastern Orthodox tradition. Methodologically, it integrates a hermeneutical reading of Acts 2:1–13 with a doctrinal and liturgical-spiritual analysis rooted in the dogmatic theology and liturgical heritage of the Eastern Orthodox Church. The findings reveal that Pentecost is not merely a historical event, but a mystical and sacramental reality continuously experienced in the liturgical life of the Church. The descent of the Holy Spirit is interpreted as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy, the transformation of the apostolic community, a universal missionary mandate, and the realization of mysterion (divine mystery) through the sacraments and worship. Thus, Pentecost becomes a convergence of Scripture, doctrine, and liturgy, offering a dynamic and Christocentric vision of the Spirit-filled life in the Church.

Abstract

The doctrine of the Incarnation has often been treated as a historical or abstract Christological doctrine, while its soteriological, ecclesiological, and anthropological significance within the Eastern Orthodox tradition has received comparatively limited attention, particularly in Indonesian theological scholarship. This article re-examines the Eastern Orthodox understanding of the Incarnation through a qualitative library study employing patristic and dogmatic theological approaches by analyzing the writings of the Eastern Church Fathers together with Orthodox dogmatic sources. The study argues that, for the Church Fathers and later Orthodox theologians, Christology is inseparable from soteriology, and that the hypostatic union serves not merely as a doctrinal definition but as the theological foundation of theosis, through which humanity participates in the divine life. The findings demonstrate that the Incarnation integrates Christological, Trinitarian, ecclesiological, liturgical, and anthropological dimensions into a unified vision of salvation centered on humanity's restoration and communion with God. By re-centering the Incarnation on its soteriological purpose, this study contributes to contemporary theological discourse by highlighting the enduring relevance of Eastern Orthodox theology for interdenominational dialogue and for addressing the secularization of Christmas.
