Abstract

This study explores the concept of covenant in the Pentateuch through a qualitative-descriptive approach that integrates historical and theological analysis of God’s covenants with Noah, Abraham, and Israel at Sinai. Historical findings indicate that the covenantal structures in the Pentateuch correspond to treaty forms common in the Ancient Near East, particularly suzerainty treaties, yet the biblical covenants reveal a fundamental distinction by emphasizing God’s gracious initiative independent of political negotiations or human strategic interests. The theological examination affirms that the covenant is not merely a legalistic contract but a manifestation of God’s relational commitment that shapes the identity of His people as a covenant community grounded in divine faithfulness and promise. The Torah is understood as an expression of faith response arising from this covenantal relationship, rather than a prerequisite for salvation, thereby retaining its significance for the contemporary church as an ethical and spiritual framework guiding Christian praxis, character formation, and communal responsibility amid rapidly evolving social contexts. The integration of historical and theological perspectives demonstrates that the Pentateuchal covenant encompasses intertwined dynamics of grace, obligation, and identity formation, contributing theoretically to Old Testament studies, particularly covenant theology, while offering practical implications for ecclesial faith formation, the strengthening of communal spirituality, and ministry orientation rooted in a holistic understanding of the divine–human relationship. This research underscores the urgency of interpreting the Pentateuchal covenant through an interdisciplinary lens to meet the theological, ethical, and pastoral challenges faced by the church in the contemporary era.

Abstract

The relationship between Christian ethics and local culture in the context of Indonesia’s multicultural society is a crucial issue in developing relevant and contextual Christian Religious Education (CRE). In practice, CRE has often been delivered in a normative and doctrinal manner, with limited integration of students’ cultural realities, resulting in weak internalization of faith values in daily life. This study aims to examine and formulate an integrative model of dialogue between Christian ethics and local culture from the perspective of contextual theology and its implications for CRE. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach through library research, utilizing content analysis of relevant academic literature. The findings reveal that contextual theology provides a solid foundation for fostering a critical, reflective, and transformative dialogue between faith and culture. The integration of theological and pedagogical reflections through contextual, dialogical, and local wisdom-based approaches enhances students’ understanding of faith, character formation, and learning relevance. Furthermore, implementation models such as Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) contribute significantly to connecting Christian ethical values with students’ lived experiences. In conclusion, the dialogue between Christian ethics and local culture serves as a strategic approach in developing holistic, contextual, and transformative Christian Religious Education.
