Abstract

Many aspects of life, including religious ideas and rituals, have been profoundly shaped by technology. It has affected how members of different faith communities interact and commune with God. These days, digital channels act as forums for conversations that could influence religious perspective. Here, the term "digital culture" describes technologically driven social interactions including social media, websites, and easy information access. This study is a quantitative study aimed at investigating the relationship between religious customs and the cultural changes brought about by digitization. Data was collected from 36 respondents by using a questionnaire. The results draw attention to the complicated relationship in modern culture between faith and technology. In Christian communities today, effective communication calls not just for sharing knowledge but also interacting with digital resources. Christians' practice of their faith has evolved with the availability of online worship events and prayer meetings. The findings also underline the need of mutual support—both psychological and financial—through trying circumstances. Christians have additional means to study scriptures and participate in worship because to increasing digital resources.

Abstract

This research examines the culture and traditions of the Sabu tribe through a feminist theological perspective to understand how women are positioned in a social system that is often associated with patriarchy. Although injustice against women is still found in various cultural practices in Indonesia, research findings show that the puru tradition  actually presents the value of equality and respect. Using a descriptive qualitative method, this study found that puru functions as a protection mechanism for women from harassment, prejudice, and immoral acts. This tradition is in line with the Christian teaching of God's just love and respect for human dignity. Through puru, Sabu women gain space to determine their own way of life, develop as a whole person, and enjoy equal rights with men. Thus, women are seen as independent individuals and have control over their existence and future.

Abstract

This study addresses the need for a contextual spiritual assessment model in Christian higher education in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, by examining the internalization of the Law of Love (Matthew 22:37–40) in personal spirituality, integration of faith and reason, and environmental stewardship. A descriptive-quantitative survey was conducted with 94 students purposively sampled from four theological institutions in Kupang. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, primarily frequency distributions and percentage analysis. The findings revealed that 95.7% of respondents affirmed love as the foundational basis for life decisions (combined "Agree" and "Strongly Agree"). Personal piety was highly endorsed, with 94.7% reporting that daily prayer and Bible reading deepened their relationship with God, and 95.7% indicating that communal worship strengthened their faith. Integration of faith and reason was reflected by 60.6% strongly agreeing that Christian education helped them love God intellectually. Notably, 92.6% affirmed that their faith compels care for the environment (61.7% strongly agree), highlighting an emerging dimension of student spirituality. The study supports the relevance of a Matthew 22:37–40-based assessment model for holistic spiritual formation. However, limitations include reliance on self-report data, a geographically concentrated sample in Kupang, and a cross-sectional design. Future research employing mixed-methods and longitudinal approaches is recommended to validate these preliminary findings and capture behavioral expressions of spiritual formation..
