Abstract

Christian Education and Social Justice: Pursuing Shalom in the Public Sphere. Christian education is crucial in advancing social justice through a theological framework grounded in shalom. This article aims to critically examine how Christian education can serve as a transformative force amid global inequality and social fragmentation. A systematic literature review method was applied, analyzing peer-reviewed Scopus-indexed theology, education, and ethics publications. The findings reveal the need to integrate values such as reconciliation, compassion, inclusivity, and justice into Christian pedagogy, curriculum, and institutional culture. The approach includes relational learning, public religious pedagogy, and prioritizing marginalized communities through the principle of preferential options for the poor. The conclusion of this study is that shalom-based Christian education not only forms individuals with character, but also produces active agents of change in society. This study recommends that there needs to be an emphasis on the importance of the role of teachers, contextual curriculum, and public testimony as a real manifestation of the call of faith.

Abstract

This study explores the ethical and theological responses to climate change, particularly at the intersection of anthropocentrism and eco-theology. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), the research investigates how theological perspectives guide ethical actions in climate change mitigation, with a specific focus on the Indonesian context. The findings highlight the central roles of stewardship and justice in religious responses. Indonesian Christian, Islamic, and indigenous spiritual traditions offer unique frameworks for addressing environmental challenges, thereby enriching the global discourse on climate ethics. The study also underscores the global significance of theological contributions to climate ethics, advocating for the integration of moral responsibility and environmental justice into climate policies and actions. In doing so, it provides insights into the potential of religious institutions and theological reflections to bolster climate action, both locally and globally.
