Abstract

Christian theology in the postmodern era faces significant challenges driven by relativism, pluralism, and secularism, as well as the rapid advancement of digital technology. This study aims to examine the contextualisation of Christian theology in response to the dynamics of popular culture, focusing on the application of relevant theology in the virtual world without compromising the principles of the Gospel. The method employed is content analysis of both classical and contemporary theological literature. The findings of the research indicate that digital technology can be utilised by the Church to build an inclusive and transformative faith community while maintaining the integrity of Christian teachings. This study reveals the importance of contextualising theology in the digital realm, which not only addresses the challenges of the present age but also responds to the spiritual needs of postmodern society, creating space for a more relevant, Christ-centred Church mission.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the significance of Christ's humility and sacrifice, particularly through His emptying and death on the cross, and its implications in alleviating interpersonal and social conflicts. Adopting a qualitative approach, the study employs literature review and content analysis methods to examine biblical texts, theological works, and modern theories on conflict and reconciliation. The research focuses on how the principles of Christ's humility and sacrifice, exemplified in His self-emptying action to serve humanity, can be applied to resolve conflicts and restore relationships between individuals. The findings of this study indicate that Christ's teachings provide a relevant model for reconciliation and peacebuilding, both in personal life and on a broader social scale. The novelty of this research lies in linking the theological values of Christ with contemporary conflict resolution theories, offering new insights into the role of humility and sacrifice in addressing social tensions. This study contributes to understanding the relevance of Christ's teachings in the context of current conflicts.
