Abstract

This article analyzes the differences and intersections between Western epistemology and epistemology in Christian education. With a qualitative approach to literature studies with conceptual and comparative analysis of the major works of modern philosophy and theological literature and Christian education. The findings suggest that Western epistemology emphasizes rationality, objectivity, and subject-autonomy that reduces knowledge to cognitive activities separate from moral and spiritual, while Christian epistemology places divine revelation, faith, and personal relationship with God as the integral basis of knowledge. This article proposes a synthesis that ratio, experience, and faith are formed coherently with Christ as the basis of truth. As a concrete implication of the formulation of educational goals, the role of educators, and curriculum design that is oriented towards character transformation and spiritual growth of students towards the character of Christ.

Abstract

This study aims to identify Christian values-based entrepreneurship opportunities in Christian Religious Education (PAK) in the digital age. The approach used is qualitative with a conceptual paper method that emphasizes analysis, synthesis, and reflection on the sources of Christian theology, education, and modern entrepreneurship. The results of the study show that entrepreneurial opportunities in PAK can be developed through digital innovation, church-based community strengthening, social mission-based education, and the integration of faith values in the learning process. Entrepreneurship in this perspective is not only understood as an economic activity, but also as an expression of faith and a vocation within the framework of the missio Dei. This study resulted in a conceptual model of Faith–Context–Innovation (FCI) that integrates faith, context analysis, and innovation as a whole in developing Christian entrepreneurship in education.
