Abstract

This study aims to analyze the dynamics of interfaith relations in Indonesia by integrating Social Identity Theory (SIT), Social Identity Complexity (SIC), and Pope Francis' synodality. The focus of the study is to understand how social identity categories, identity intersections, and the synodal vision of communion, participation, and mission can enrich the paradigm of religious moderation in a pluralistic society. This study uses qualitative methods with a literature review and content analysis approach to identity theory, empirical findings on interfaith tolerance, and Catholic Church documents. The study was conducted by exploring the key concepts of SIT and SIC, examining social practices of tolerance in the Indonesian context, and describing the pastoral relevance of synodality as a dialogical approach. The results of the study show that religious moderation can develop when religious communities have a natural meeting space, build flexible social identity intersections, and actively engage in mutual listening dialogue as emphasized in the 2021–2023 Synod process. In this context, synodality provides a theological framework for the Church to foster inclusive, creative, and transformative relationships, so that each religion can display its uniqueness in diversity without losing the spirit of brotherhood.

Abstract

In the study of modern linguistics, narrative theory offers a way to understand how language organizes human experience into meaningful discourse. One of the most influential models is Labov's Natural Narrative Model theory (Labov & Waletzky, 1967), which explains that each narrative consists of six main components that function socially and communicatively. The story of Tobias and Sarah's marriage in the Book of Tobit (Tobit 7–11) is interesting to study because it contains a complete story structure and is full of faith and moral values. This study aims to analyze the structure and narrative function of the story of Tobias and Sarah based on Labov's narrative model, as well as explain how linguistic forms support the delivery of theological messages in texts. This study uses a descriptive-qualitative approach with a narrative analysis method. The data were taken from the text of the Book of Tobit, which is one of the parts of the Deuteronomic Bible, and were analyzed based on the six components of Labov's narrative: abstract, orientation, complicating action, evaluation, resolution, and coda. The analysis shows that the story of Tobias and Sara has a complete narrative structure with two dominant stages, namely, complicating action and resolution. The evaluation stage occupies a central position because it affirms theological meaning through prayer and confession of faith. The application of Labov's theory proves that narrative structure functions not only as an arrangement of events but also as a linguistic medium that expresses the values of faith, morality, and divine inclusion in human life.
