Abstract

This article examines biblical eschatology as a coherent theological metanarrative unfolding from creation to consummation in Christ, in whom all things hold together (Colossians 1:17). Eschatology is approached not as a speculative doctrine concerned primarily with future events, but as a present and ongoing reality grounded in the redemptive work and restorative reign of Christ. Through a qualitative theological methodology, employing canonical hermeneutics and lexical analysis of the term ἔσχατος, the study traces the eschatological trajectory of Scripture as it coheres around the person and work of Christ. This trajectory encompasses the original act of creation, its distortion through sin, the inauguration of restoration through the cross and resurrection, and its ultimate consummation in the new creation. Particular attention is given to Revelation 21, where the eschaton is depicted not merely as temporal finality but as the fulfillment of all things in Christ (παλινγενεσία), thereby revealing the divine purpose to restore creation through Him. This eschatological vision carries significant implications for the life and identity of God’s people as a whole. Those who are united in Christ are called to live in light of the inaugurated eschaton, embodying and enacting His restorative work in the world as a foretaste of the coming fullness. In this sense, the community of believers participates corporately in Christ’s renewing mission, manifesting even now the reality of the new creation toward which all history moves. The article thus offers an integrative framework that unites doctrine and discipleship, hope and mission, situating the vocation of God’s redeemed people within the telos of His redemptive purpose from creation to consummation in Christ.

Abstract

This study seeks to enhance the quality of discipleship in churches based in Nias by contrasting Cyril of Jerusalem's theological anthropology with Nias' cultural conceptions of body and soul, with a particular emphasis on noso. Using a qualitative literature review, thematic content analysis, and comparative methods from theology, religious studies, anthropology, and missiology, the study identified both similarities and differences between Nias’ culture and Cyril’s theological anthropology. Cyril's framework, characterized by its clarity and bipartite structure, places significant emphasis on the concept of the imago Dei, bodily resurrection, and an eternal soul. In contrast, Nias tradition teaches a complex anthropology comprising multiple elements and a cyclical eschatology. The study concluded that Cyril's theological anthropology exerts a positive influence on Nias Christian discipleship by fortifying Nias spiritual intuitions and providing a more lucid theological framework. Furthermore, it serves as a conduit between Christian theology and Nias traditions, offering a foundation for more effective and contextually sensitive discipleship. This integration of traditional values with universal Christian teachings results in a more profound and culturally relevant faith, and ultimately guides practical discipleship strategies in Nias, thereby promoting both qualitative and quantitative church growth.

Abstract

This research examines environmental ethics in Christian theology, highlighting human responsibility towards God's creation. In the modern era, the ecological damage caused by human activities has become a serious concern related to the moral obligations outlined in the Bible, which states that humans are entrusted to manage and care for creation, even though this practice is often neglected. This article is compiled using qualitative methods through a literature review approach. The aim is to explore how Christian teachings can integrate environmental awareness into the daily lives of believers. The research findings indicate that a deep understanding of creation and human responsibility as stewards can lead to collective action for environmental sustainability. This research is expected to be a source of inspiration for the Christian community to actively contribute to preserving creation for the well-being of future generations. Therefore, environmental ethics is not just a moral issue, but also an integral part of faith that must be manifested in tangible actions.

Abstract

This study addressed the theological and sociopolitical gap in Indonesia's response to agrarian and ecological crises. It aimed to reinterpret the concept of 'God's time' through a Kairos lens, linking it to Christian educational praxis and eco-theological thought. This study focused on Indonesian regions facing intense land conflict and ecological degradation, particularly those involving indigenous communities. Using a qualitative theological design, this study employed a critical textual analysis of Kairos documents, an ethnographic content analysis of local cultural practices, and a literature review of Christian education and contextual eco-theology. Data triangulation was achieved through document comparison and thematic coding. The results showed that the phrase 'God's time' was often used passively in Christian discourse, frequently serving institutional and political interests instead of inspiring prophetic action. The study concluded that Christian education, when grounded in local wisdom and Kairos theology, has transformative potential to reframe time theologically and promote ecological solidarity. As a practical contribution, this study proposed a contextual framework for prophetic theological education in Indonesia, including a curricular model that integrates environmental justice, indigenous wisdom, and critical solidarity as core components of Christian educational praxis.

Abstract

The Papua conflict, with its deep roots in contested history, human rights violations, and economic marginalization, demands responses that are both ethically serious and practically grounded. This study asks whether Glen Stassen’s Just Peacemaking Theory can be applied to that context. Through qualitative conceptual analysis, it identifies practices within the theory most capable of translation to Papuan conditions—nonviolent direct action, human rights advocacy, sustainable development, grassroots peacebuilding—and works them into strategic orientations: empowering indigenous advocacy, insisting on inclusive development, strengthening local peace networks. For practical theology, the contribution is straightforward: it demonstrates how a normative ethical framework can be brought into genuine conversation with a live conflict, not as an abstract principle but as an adaptable resource. For Papuan churches, it offers a way of naming what they already do and a vocabulary for taking it further.

Abstract

This study analyzes the Martyrdom Syndrome in Christian leadership by interpreting Acts 7:54-8:1 as a critique of leaders who use the suffering narrative to gain legitimacy and authority. This syndrome refers to the tendency of individuals to portray themselves as victims to gain sympathy, support, and justification for their leadership. The study employs a qualitative, exegetical approach to the martyrdom of Stephen, which is often contrasted with authentic leadership in the Christian tradition. The findings reveal that true martyrdom in Acts is not used as a tool for manipulation but as a testimony of faith rooted in the truth of the Gospel. In contrast, leaders trapped in the martyrdom syndrome tend to foster unhealthy relationships with their followers, relying on personal suffering as spiritual legitimacy. This study affirms that authentic Christian leadership is not based on exploiting the suffering narrative but on exemplary conduct, service, and moral integrity. Thus, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of responsible Christian leadership and critiques deviant leadership practices in ecclesial and social contexts.

Abstract

Premarital sex in the Sabu tribe's Ana Bui Pa Kepue culture posed social challenges due to lenient customary sanctions, conflicting with Christian ethics on sexual holiness; this study addressed the knowledge gap in transforming such cultural practices through biblical principles. The study examined Christian ethical perspectives on premarital sex within the Ana Bui Pa Kepue tradition to propose cultural reconstruction. The research focused on the Sabu community in Sabu Raijua Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. A literature review was conducted, supplemented by secondary interview data from customary leaders and pastors, to analyze cultural practices and Christian ethics descriptively. Sabu customary law inconsistently sanctioned premarital sex leading to Ana Bui Pa Kepue children (12 cases, 2019-2022), viewing them as blessings, while Christian ethics deemed such acts sinful. Christian ethics condemned premarital sex as violating God's holiness; recommendations included church collaboration with elders for stricter sanctions and comprehensive spiritual education for youth. The study offered practical strategies for cultural transformation, enhancing Christian influence on Sabu tradition to deter premarital sex and promote biblical sexuality.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the uniqueness of 16th-century Reformed Christology and its contribution to the development of contemporary church theology. The background of this study arises from concerns about efforts to reconstruct Christological dogmas that are considered no longer relevant because they are too influenced by a rigid, elitist Western metaphysical framework and do not touch on the context of the real lives of the congregation. Amidst the demands of the modern era that prioritize authentic, inclusive, and contextual experiences of faith, a merely speculative and abstract understanding of Christology becomes less functional for church life. Through a qualitative approach using historical-theological methods, this study finds that Reformed Christology emphasizes the supremacy and finality of Christ in history, as well as its relevance to the salvation of believers. The thought of reformers such as Martin Luther and John Calvin consistently places Christ at the center of faith; not merely as an object of theological contemplation, but as a living Person present in the word, sacraments, and the life of the congregation. Amid the decline in Christological understanding in the modern era, Reformed Christological thought is a theological treasure that can bridge the gap between the proclamation of the Gospel and the realities of the lives of today's congregations. The results of this study are expected to provide a real contribution in formulating a Christology that is relevant, contextual, and remains faithful to the testimony of the Bible for the Protestant church today.
