Abstract

The Urang Banten, a Sundanese ethnic group residing in Banten Province, demonstrate significantly greater resistance to Christianity than Sundanese communities in other provinces. This is evidenced by the considerable difficulties in obtaining permits for church construction in Banten Province. This study aims to identify the factors contributing to the Urang Banten's resistance to Christianity. The research employs a literature review methodology examining the history, beliefs, culture, and characteristics of the Urang Banten. Through the research findings, the author postulates that the factors causing Urang Banten's resistance to Christianity are: (1) ancestral cultural and belief systems intertwined with Islamic religious practices that strictly implement sharia law; and (2) the issue of "historical wounds" deeply embedded in Bantenese society regarding Christianity, which bears the stigma of being the colonizers' religion. It is hoped that through this understanding, a contextual theology specific to the Urang Banten can be developed, enabling the Gospel to be received in the Banten region.   Abstrak Urang Banten, yaitu Suku Sunda yang berdomisili di Provinsi Banten, jauh lebih resisten terhadap agama Kristen dibandingkan Suku Sunda di provinsi lainnya. Hal ini terbukti dari sulitnya mendapat izin pembangunan gereja di Provinsi Banten. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menemukan hal-hal apa yang menyebabkan adanya resistensi Urang Banten terhadap agama Kristen. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi literatur terhadap sejarah, kepercayaan, budaya dan karakter Urang Banten. Melalui hasil penelitian, penulis memperkirakan bahwa hal-hal yang menyebabkan resistensi Urang Banten terhadap agama Kristen adalah: (1) masalah budaya/ kepercayaan nenek moyang yang dibungkus dengan agama Islam yang menerapkan hukum syariah secara ketat; dan (2) masalah “luka sejarah” yang membekas dalam masyarakat Banten perihal agama Kristen yang mendapat stigma sebagai agama kaum penjajah. Diharapkan, melalui pengetahuan tersebut dapat dibangun sebuah Teologi Kontekstual khusus Urang Banten sehingga Injil dapat diterima di Tanah Banten.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze Pauline theology in Romans 9–11 as a foundation for forming a responsible Christian identity amidst the reality of modern Israel. The research employs a qualitative method through literature study, exegetical-theological analysis, and a contextual theological approach. The results indicate that Paul rejects two extremes: Supersessionism, which negates the significance of Israel in salvation history, and uncritical Christian Zionism, which directly identifies the modern State of Israel with the will of God. Through the concept of the "Remnant of Israel" and the "Olive Tree" metaphor, Paul affirms the continuity of God's salvific work toward Israel while simultaneously upholding the universality of the Gospel in Christ. These findings emphasize that Christian identity must value the Jewish roots of the Christian faith, reject anti-Semitism, avoid religious nationalism, maintain the finality of Christ, and remain faithful to the calling of mission, justice, peace, and humanity. Consequently, Romans 9–11 provides a theological framework for the 21st-century global Church to respond to the reality of modern Israel in a Christocentric, historical, and ethical manner.
