Abstract

This historiographical article aims to describe Coolen as a pioneer of the indigenous church among the abangans in Ngoro, East Java in the 19th century, where he pioneered the ministry of indigenizing the gospel as an exciting new breakthrough. The discussion was conducted in stages of collecting historical data about Coolen, evaluating the obtained data, interpreting relevant data, and presenting the findings. The results show that Coolen was the initiator of the establishment of the ‘ngelmu’ Christian congregation among the abangans in Ngoro Village in the interior of East Java. He explained the secrets of ngelmu Kristen (lit., learning the Christianity) and appreciated Javanese culture as a new breakthrough in the ministry of preaching the gospel, compared to the Indische Kerk missionaries. However, some of his followers were more interested in joining Emde’s ministry pattern, so the outputs of his ministry were finally adopted into the Indische Kerk churches. Since then, the harvest of the abangans had stopped.

Abstract

Lex orandi, lex credendi, lex vivendi is conventional concepts of the Christian life, but those are still relevant to solve problems of modern society. The interconnectedness of worship (lex orandi), theology (lex credendi), life (lex vivendi) is emphasized in the Christian sphere. Nevertheless, God's mission as the role of Christians was not highlighted in their relationship. The Commitment of Cape Town strongly stresses that Christians accomplishes God's mission with holistic ways in domains of gospel, world, church. In this study, the notion of lex orandi, lex credendi, lex vivendi will be explained about relationship and interaction. Then the Commitment of Cape Town will be analyzed in detail in connection with lex orandi, lex credendi, lex vivendi. The researcher uses the literature review method with answer to one question, that is ‘what is the true role of Christians in the world?’ The result of this study concluded that when Christians stand before God holistically in the notion of lex orandi, lex credendi, and lex vivendi, Christians can live by accomplishing God's mission in the church, with gospel, and into the world.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the Pentecostal-Charismatic discourse about the Jubilee. The study is a qualitative-descriptive study and used literature study approach. Sampling was conducted to Pentecostal-Charismatic circles in several Pentecostal-Charismatic denominations. The data sources are documents in the forms of sermons, magazines, brochures, Jubilee Committee work reports, articles, liturgies, and songs about the Jubilee. Results show that the Pentecostal-Charismatic perspective regarding the Jubilee was generally different from that of the non-Pentecostal-Charismatic. According to Pentecostals-Charismatics, slave liberation meant to be restoration of a man from sin, from shackles of bondage of the evil one, from sickness, from weakness, and from inner wounds & want/poverty by the power of Jesus’ cross; Then, the land that must be returned to its original owner was defined as the return of humans to their right position, that is, before they fall into sin. Regarding the relevance of land regulations in the Jubilee was the arrangement of the organizational structure or church management, in which the older generation began to retire and was replaced by the younger generation; whereas the rest itself was intended for humans to be able to have a fellowship with God, so that they do not get greedy and can appreciate others’ property.

Abstract

The Bible records differences in the formula of baptism. As Jesus taught in Matthew 28:19, those who believe should be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Meanwhile, in some parts of the Bible, the disciples command every believer to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. This study tries to describe the formula of baptism taught by Jesus. It is a descriptive research and used the Bible, books, and journals as the main sources. It is concluded that the formula of baptism in the name of Jesus does not contradict His teachings. However, because Jesus Himself taught that baptism must be in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, in practice, it is better to use the formula He had taught.

Abstract

Feng shui was a part of the cultural heritage of ancient Chinese society mainly used to design buildings and spaces according to the birth date or the basic elements of the owner or the person who occupied a building to achieve harmony and balance with the environment aimed to bring peace and prosperity. Feng shui practices had become a matter of debate among Christians. The question was whether feng shui practices such as calculations in building construction, determining the direction a tomb should face, or finding a date to start a business did not conflict with God's Word. From a non-theological point of view,  feng shui was well accepted because it seemed reasonable. This article discussed feng shui from a theological perspective by referring to Colossians 2:8. In the research of this article, the researchers used a qualitative descriptive method with an exposition approach where data collection was obtained from literature studies and interviews. The results of the discussion on this topic showed that theologians concurred that feng shui did not correspond with God's Word, while the Bible interpreted feng shui as a false philosophy. The conclusion drawn was the rejection of feng shui practices by theologians and the Bible.

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.
