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.
