Abstract

The story of Jacob acquiring birthright is one of the most popular stories in the Old Testament. This story became important and popular even more so because it was from there that the forerunner of Jacob was chosen as one of the patriarchs from whom the nation of Israel was born. This story became popular also because the right and blessing was obtained Jacob in a fraudulent way. With this writing, the author wants to dig deeper into what the real intention behind the lies Jacob committed with Rebekah his mother. Is it really a lie or is there some other purpose? So what about God's role in the story? To find the thing in question, the author used two methods in the preparation of this article. The two methods are the qualitative method and the scripture interpretation method with the narrative method. From the results of the study, the author concludes that apart from the motive of lies, it turns out that the blessings and birthitudes obtained by Jacob are also one of the fulfillment of the word that God conveyed to Rebekah.

Abstract

 Feminism has become an engaging and relevant topic in today’s era. The position and role of women in society are reasons why feminism continues to be advocated. This study discusses one of the feminist figures in Indonesia who fought in her way in her time.  R.A. Kartini certainly had her uniqueness in advocating for women's rights, especially in obtaining education. The experiences and observations of social practices she encountered, both in Javanese culture and how the colonialists treated natives, were expressed in the form of writings (correspondence) with some of her friends in the Netherlands. Eleven years after her death, this collection of letters was published into a book titled “Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang” (“Out of Dark Comes Light”). This book inspired many people, especially in Indonesian society, to believe that women also have an essential role in communal life. Kartini’s struggle for women’s equality opened people’s eyes to take action in addressing the social inequalities present in society. Previous studies have largely examined Kartini from the perspectives of educational and national emancipation, but few have explored her relevance to church life, particularly regarding the role of Catholic women. This study aims to examine Kartini’s feminist ideas and discover their relevance to the Indonesian Church through the work of the Indonesian Catholic Women's Association (WKRI). This study uses a qualitative method with a historical-theological approach, including a literature review of Kartin’s letters, Church documents, and a case study of the role of WKRI. The results of the study indicate that Kartini’s feminist ideas have inspired the empowerment of Catholic women and encouraged WKRI to become a vehicle for women's active participation in Church and community life. This study confirms that Kartini’s ideas remain relevant as a basis for theological reflection and praxis in the struggle for gender equality and social justice in the Indonesian Church.AbstrakFeminisme telah menjadi topik yang menarik dan relevan di era saat ini. Posisi dan peran perempuan dalam masyarakat menjadi alasan mengapa feminisme terus diperjuangkan. Kajian ini membahas salah satu tokoh feminis di Indonesia yang berjuang dengan caranya sendiri pada masanya. RA Kartini tentu memiliki keunikan dalam memperjuangkan hak-hak perempuan, khususnya dalam memperoleh pendidikan. Pengalaman dan pengamatan terhadap praktik-praktik sosial yang ditemuinya, baik dalam budaya Jawa maupun bagaimana penjajah memperlakukan penduduk asli, dituangkan dalam bentuk tulisan (surat-menyurat) dengan beberapa sahabatnya di Belanda. Sebelas tahun setelah kematiannya, kumpulan surat-surat ini diterbitkan menjadi sebuah buku berjudul “Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang”. Buku ini menginspirasi banyak orang, khususnya di masyarakat Indonesia, untuk percaya bahwa perempuan juga memiliki peran penting dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat. Perjuangan Kartini untuk mengangkat harkat dan martabat perempuan membuka mata masyarakat untuk melakukan sesuatu terhadap ketimpangan sosial yang terjadi di masyarakat. Kondisi sosial tersebut mendorong Kartini untuk tidak berpaling dan membebaskan perempuan dari penindasan dan keterbelakangan sosial. Relevansi pemikiran Kartini dapat ditemukan dalam Wanita Katolik Republik Indonesia (WKRI) yang masih eksis hingga saat ini. Organisasi ini menjadi wadah bagi wanita Katolik untuk berpartisipasi dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat. Organisasi ini muncul dari keprihatinan sosial, khususnya isu upah rendah bagi perempuan dan keterbelakangan perempuan di berbagai bidang. Kartini meninggalkan pelajaran berharga bahwa ketidakadilan sosial menantang individu untuk tidak berdiam diri demi kebaikan bersama (bonum commune).

Abstract

Kenosis has a connection with the trinity. Even though kenosis is a free act of the Son, this does not mean that there is no trinitarian act in it. This relationship is clearly seen in the personal unity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Son who emptied himself and became the same as humans, wants to show his obedience to the will of the Father who sent Him to save humans and His solidarity to humans. Each person meets out of love for one another. This loving relationship is clear proof that they are bound in one unity and cannot be separated. Kenosis becomes real because there is an encounter of solidarity that occurs in the relationship of trinitarian love. Encounters based on love enable a close unity in togetherness with others. Thus, kenosis is a path taken so that humans can be saved thanks to the Son in trinitarian action. The encounters that occur are always meaningful and have a huge effect. Trinitarian action can occur when each person gives space and allows themselves to be embraced by others. In the unity of love, the Trinity relates and with the spirit of perichoresis they meet one another.
