Abstract

What Christian perspective can support preserving Balinese traditional practices related to honoring the deceased? This paper integrates the metaphysical anthropology of the sleeping soul with Rolf Jensen's view of ‘the dream society’ to examine the traditional ritual of Ngaben. The study revealed that the narratives within the Ngaben ceremonial tradition are of utmost importance and should be safeguarded. The narratives, affective experiences, and emotional states discussed are integral components of the communal fabric within which the Balinese populace resides. Christianity, through the theological doctrine of metaphysical anthropology of the sleeping soul, can help accommodate these narratives.

Abstract

The term “empty tomb” has become standard vocabulary in Christian religious education, although the New Testament never predicates κενός of Jesus’ tomb. This article traces where the predicate of emptiness is actually lodged and finds that Paul attaches it to proclamation and to faith (1 Cor 15:14), so that emptiness migrates from space to act and relation. What remains at the mouth of the tomb is not an adjective but a verb of motion, προάγει. Employing narrative criticism and lexical motif analysis, the study maps the five occurrences of προάγω in Mark (6:45; 10:32; 11:9; 14:28; 16:7) and identifies two structures: the reversal of the position of going ahead, from human beings to Christ, and an inclusio of fear linking 10:32 with 16:8. From this motif a formative virtue is constructed, “faith that follows after,” the disposition to set out because Christ has already set out, with a negative boundary drawn from 2 John 9. The virtue requires reconstructing Christian religious education at three points: locus, teacher authority, and telos with its assessment.

Abstract

Proverbs 31:26 is part of the acrostic poem describing the 'ēšet ḥayil (woman of noble character) and employs a chiastic pattern (A–B–B'–A'). Although this verse has been widely studied from the perspectives of the wise woman, gender, and character formation, limited attention has been given to the rhetorical function of its chiastic structure as a basis for interpretation. This study analyzes the chiastic structure of Proverbs 31:26 and places it in dialogue with the psychological concept of cognitive ability. This qualitative research uses a wisdom-literature hermeneutical approach and employs literal, lexical, and structural analyses of the text. The findings demonstrate that the chiastic structure positions ḥokmâ (wisdom) and tôrath-ḥesed (instruction grounded in steadfast love) as the semantic center of the verse. Three principal implications emerge from this analysis: (1) wisdom reflects the reasoning process that precedes speech; (2) the integration of ḥokmâ and ḥesed indicates that effective communication combines sound reasoning with ethical orientation; and (3) wise communication serves a pedagogical function by transmitting moral values within the community. This study argues that cognitive ability should not be understood as equivalent to biblical wisdom but rather as a dialogical framework for explaining how wisdom is expressed through reasoning and communication within the wisdom tradition.

Abstract

Indonesia’s deep learning policy, enacted through Regulation of the Minister of Primary and Secondary Education 13 of 2025, requires mindful, meaningful, and joyful learning, yet supplies no anthropology explaining why human beings are able—or fail—to become deep. This article argues that attention is the precondition for depth, and that the erosion of attention in the classroom is not a disciplinary problem but a formative one, named by the early Christian tradition as acedia. Using constructive practical theology structured by Osmer’s four tasks, the study describes the digital ecology of attention, interprets it through Evagrius Ponticus, John Cassian, and Thomas Aquinas, constructs a norm of attention as ascesis through Simone Weil, and formulates a pedagogy of attention for Christian religious education. It concludes that Christian religious education can supply the anthropological content the word “deep” currently lacks in national policy: depth is not merely integrated conceptual mastery but the relational capacity to remain, to wait, and to love.

Abstract

Agrarian conflict in Indonesia escalated sharply through 2025, with cases involving the military sector rising by three hundred percent, while the state’s framework of Religious Moderation, consolidated through Presidential Regulation No. 58 of 2023, continued to measure communal harmony exclusively as a relation between religious communities. Land, and the violence exercised over it, remained outside all of its indicators. Research on Isaiah 2:1–5 has clustered around three concerns—textual criticism and its relation to Micah 4:1–5, eschatological-theological readings, and political readings of militarism—none of which has adequately developed the material-ecological dimension of weapons transforming into farming implements. This study analyzes Isaiah 2:1–5 as a text of material-ecological conversion and argues for its relevance for a critique of the ecological deficit of Religious Moderation in Indonesia. It employs a qualitative method with socio-historical, exegetical, ecological-hermeneutical, and contextual-theological approaches. The reading finds that swords and plowshares share one metallurgy, one forge, and one biomass base, so that Isaiah 2:4 describes a reallocation of scarce resources rather than a cessation of hostilities, while Joel 4:10 reverses the same formula. The implication is that ecological conversion—at once spiritual turning, material refashioning, and defense conversion—exposes the limits of a moderation securing negative peace alone. The novelty of this study lies in constructing a relation between religious communities and land that extends Religious Moderation from peace between communities toward ecological peace, proposing land as a third party to interreligious relations.
Daniel in digital Babylon: A spirituality of resistance and the identity integrity of God’s people in the ecosystem of surveillance capitalism through theological reading of Daniel 1 and 6 Ayub Pangga Lewu; Jonsa Manullang

Abstract

Church communities today inhabit a digital ecosystem governed by surveillance capitalism, in which human attention is harvested and identity is algorithmically formed; a condition this article names “digital Babylon.” This study constructs a spirituality of resistance and a theology of identity integrity for God’s people in that ecosystem through a theological reading of Daniel 1 and 6. Employing qualitative library research that integrates narrative exegesis with constructive theology, the article reads Daniel’s refusal of the royal diet and his disciplined practice of prayer before an open window as paradigms of boundary-keeping and counter-formation at the heart of empire. The findings propose a model of “Babylonian literacy without Babylonian identity”: God’s people may master the language, knowledge, and platforms of the digital empire while sustaining nonnegotiable disciplines of identity rooted in worship. The article contributes an Old Testament foundation for digital ecclesiology and offers churches, especially in Indonesia, a doctrinally grounded framework for resilient discipleship within, rather than withdrawal from, digital culture.

Abstract

Generation Z and Generation Alpha are formed within a digital ecosystem that structurally trains distraction rather than listening, a crisis addressed far more often through psychology or technology criticism than through theology. Scholarship in Christian religious education (PAK) in Indonesia typically invokes Scripture as a general source of values rather than excavating it philologically as a theological locus in its own right. This article constructs a text-grounded theology of listening by tracing the Hebrew root shama from the Shema Yisrael command (Deu. 6:4–9) to Solomon's request for a lev shomea, “a hearing heart” (1 Kgs 3:9), asking how this theology is constructed and how it can be transformed into a pedagogical framework for Christian value education among Generation Z and Alpha. Using a library-based, exegetical-intertextual method, the study analyzes six canonical texts sharing the shama root or its conceptual resonance through a text–theme–value–indicator procedure. The study finds a coherent, obedience-oriented theology of listening, translated into four educational virtues—patience, relational humility, discernment, and responsive obedience—and four correspondingly designed pedagogical practices that directly counteract digital distraction.
Bӧlibӧli as a model of consolation in the study of archipelagic community identity and Christian traditions of consolation, philosophy, and the culture of Hulo Batu, Indonesia Oinike Natalia Harefa; Digna Victoria Manaö

Abstract

This article explores the böliböli of Hulo Batu as a model of Christian consolation distinctive to Indonesia’s archipelagic context, analyzing it through the lenses of Christian and philosophical traditions of consolation. To this purpose, the author employs a qualitative method involving a literature review of Aholiab Watloly’s concept of the archipelagic self; Boethius’s philosophical theology of consolation; and Christian traditions found in the narratives of Job and the Psalms. The study also uses Christoph Jedan’s contemporary model of the theology of consolation to enrich the construction of the Hulo Batu-specific theology of consolation. The study reveals that böliböli embodies a four-axis function of consolation that aligns with Christian, philosophical, and local Hulo Batu cultural traditions. This article matters because it addresses tensions among cultural traditions, philosophy, and Christianity within the community. The research suggests valuing community identity and celebrating the diversity of consolation traditions in Indonesia.
Not katakyrieuein but typos: Domination, pattern, and a New Testament criteriology of power for Christian leadership Paskah Parlaungan Purba; Ester Melati

Abstract

Critical leadership studies and postcolonial theology increasingly read servant and stewardship models as benevolent domination. This study asked whether the New Testament itself supplies criteria distinguishing formative authority from domination. Taking 1 Peter 5:1–4 as seed text and corroborating it across Titus 1:7, Mark 10:42–45, Luke 22:25–26, Galatians 3:24–4:7 and Ephesians 4:11–13, it derived a fourfold criteriology. Power becomes counter-formative when it violates its basis, its mode (katakyrieuein rather than typos), its term (suspending the father’s prothesmia), or its telos (producing dependents rather than mature heirs). Two findings proved decisive: Galatians 4:1–2 subordinates the dominus to the oikonomos, so the colonial charge misidentifies its target; and Luke 22:25 exposes benevolent domination from within the text, since dominating rulers are precisely those called benefactors. A violation does not abolish the norm it violates but presupposes it. The criteriology is a text-derived normative construct; empirical testing in Indonesian church and theological education is the ensuing research agenda, not undertaken here.

Abstract

Contemporary church leadership is confronted with a crisis that extends beyond managerial concerns; it is fundamentally a theological crisis rooted in the church’s predominance of transactional logic. Transactional leadership, which structures relationships among leaders, congregants, and God around conditional exchange, reduces the Gospel to a system of spiritual contracts and fosters faith communities shaped by market logic rather than the logic of grace. This article contends that Jesus represents the earliest, most radical, and most consistent critic of religious transactionalism. Jesus’ praxis provides a hospitable leadership paradigm as a Christological alternative, consistently shifting leadership from emotion (marketplace) to trapeza (table of fellowship). This article advances four arguments using a method that integrates biblical-theological exegesis, systematic-constructive theology, and contextual hermeneutics: first, a theological diagnosis of transactionalism as religion in Barthian terms; second, an interpretation of Jesus’s action in the Temple as prophetic deconstruction; third, the table fellowship of Jesus as a reconstruction of the hospitalis paradigm; and fourth, a proposed hospitalis leadership paradigm for the contemporary Indonesian church. The article contributes by developing a leadership paradigm that originates methodologically from the historical Christ rather than secular leadership theory and is subsequently grounded in biblical references.
