Abstract

This article aims to explore the intersection between existentialist philosophy and Christian theology, particularly in understanding the limits of human existence and the role of transcendence. It highlights how existentialist themes such as freedom, responsibility, and individuality contribute to a deeper understanding of faith and the human condition. By examining the thoughts of key existentialist thinkers such as Søren Kierkegaard, Jean-Paul Sartre, Paul Tillich, and Karl Theodor Jaspers, the study analyzes their relevance within the framework of Christian faith. Furthermore, it discusses how individuals seek meaning in life amidst uncertainty and existential emptiness, and how transcendental experiences can offer a sense of purpose beyond mere religious formality. Using a qualitative method through a library research approach, this article presents a theological perspective on existentialism. Ultimately, it argues that engaging with existentialist thought can enrich theological reflection and foster meaningful dialogue between existentialism and theology in addressing the profound questions of human existence.

Abstract

The lecture method, storytelling, and picture media are the most commonly used approaches and tools in Sunday school learning. They influence children's ability to focus and listen during Bible stories. This study aims to describe how various learning media can support the storytelling method to enhance children's listening skills in Bible stories, which Sunday school teachers can implement. The research uses library methods, examining various scientific studies from relevant sources. The data source consists of secondary data published previously, such as books, journals, and prior research. Data was collected through documentation, and the analysis used content analysis to draw reproducible conclusions. The study identified several media that can be used in the Sunday school Bible storytelling approach to improve children's listening skills, including (1) hand puppet media, (2) pictures, (3) audiovisual media, and (4) digital applications. In addition, role-playing can also be incorporated into Sunday school lessons to enhance children's listening skills in Bible stories.

Abstract

This research explores the experiences, narratives, and policies of the Menugal culture within the Dayak Ma’anyan community in Lenggang Village, Kalimantan Tengah, with particular focus on its connection to Christian education. The study examines how traditional practices of cultivating mountain rice varieties relate to Christianity, interfaith encounters, cultural preservation, and sustainable agricultural values amid the global food crisis. A qualitative approach was used, including in-depth interviews with Damang (Pangulu Adat), Mantir Adat, and three informants (Tochyhat, Dkakhgma, and Gkedhy), supported by audio recordings and photographic documentation. Drawing on perspectives from cultural preservation and Christian education, the analysis demonstrates that indigenous agricultural practices serve as pedagogical spaces in which values of patience, stewardship, and communal responsibility are passed down through generations. The findings show that villagers’ livelihood strategies are strengthened by traditional land cultivation and post-harvest techniques that resist fast, industrialized methods, while promoting resilience and ecological awareness. These practices align with Christian educational frameworks that emphasize moral development, interfaith respect, and care for creation. In this way, the Menugal tradition contributes not only to food security but also to local Christian education that integrates faith, culture, and sustainability.

Abstract

This study aims to explore and interpret the meaning of Pentecost by considering its historical, theological, and spiritual contexts. It employs a theological approach, qualitative research methods, and textual analysis to examine the relationship between symbolism and meaning in the celebration of Pentecost. The study shows that the meaning of Pentecost differs between the Old and New Testaments, reflecting a transition from an agrarian ritual to a profound spiritual experience in which the Holy Spirit actively participates in the lives of believers. Overall, Pentecost reflects the development of Christian faith from a traditional agrarian context to a more complex spiritual understanding of God's presence through the Holy Spirit. Thus, Pentecost is not only a historical celebration but also a theological statement about God's presence in the lives of His people.

Abstract

This study explores the dynamic relationship between the ancestral spirit beliefs of the Aluk To dolo tradition in Toraja and the Christian doctrine of the Holy Spirit. Using a qualitative, literature-based methodology, the research analyzes theological and cultural perspectives to understand how these two spiritual frameworks interact and influence mission dynamics. Drawing on theological literature and anthropological insights, the study examines how traditional beliefs about ancestral spirits are perceived and reinterpreted, considering Christian pneumatology. The analysis of theological literature indicates that, within certain contextual and missiological interpretations, the work of the Holy Spirit has been articulated using categories familiar to ancestral spirit beliefs, thereby opening a dialogical space between indigenous spirituality and Christian pneumatology. While the core differences between the two remain significant, especially in their understanding of divine agency and authority, the study underscores the importance of respectful engagement in mission work. It concludes that a meaningful theological dialogue must acknowledge local beliefs while offering a transformative understanding grounded in Christian theology.
