Abstract

This research examines the formation of Agama Konghucu identity during the New Order era, as reflected in Confucian publications (Gentrika and Genta Rohani). Given that identity is relational, the construction process involved identifying the community itself and the perceptions of others, including those of religions and governments. Despite the government's control over the press and media during the New Order, Gentrika and Genta Rohani persistently worked to construct an Agama Konghucu identity. Employing Critical Discourse Analysis, as developed by Fairclough, as the methodology, this article aims to investigate the construction of Agama Konghucu identity discourses in the Confucian community that were published and distributed during the New Order. This thesis uses Bourdieu's perspective on language in power relations, which is integrated into the methodology. Finally, this research concludes that Confucian media play a significant role as an agent and a medium in the construction process by incorporating specific language practices.

Abstract

This study examines the construction of death myths through eschatological concepts within the religious beliefs of the Abangan Javanese community, a subcultural group with a syncretic religious orientation rooted in Kejawen traditions. The primary issue addressed is the scarcity of scholarly attention to how localized eschatological narratives shape alternative interpretations of death, which are often overlooked by dominant religious paradigms. Employing a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach, this research is grounded in theoretical frameworks of eschatology and religiosity to analyze how the abangan community constructs meaning around death. The findings reveal that death is not solely understood as a personal or moral endpoint but is perceived as the result of broader socio-religious dynamics, environmental conditions, and interactions with unseen entities. These interpretations reflect a unique epistemology that challenges normative theological discourses and affirms the validity of local spiritual worldviews. This study contributes to eschatological scholarship by highlighting the interpretive richness of indigenous belief systems and addressing the ongoing marginalization of religious knowledge within broader academic and theological discussions.

Abstract

Domestic workers are one of the most vulnerable groups to exploitation and structural violence in modern society. Although Minister of Manpower Regulation No. 2 of 2015 has established basic protections for domestic workers, this legal protection does not yet have adequate legal force. This situation is worsened by the fact that the Draft Law on the Protection of Domestic Workers has not yet been passed, despite being delayed since 2004 (more than 20 years). On the other hand, the Torah in the Bible contains provisions regarding slaves. Although rooted in an ancient social system, it embodies principles of justice and compassion that were radical for its time. Therefore, this article presents a comparison between the provisions regarding slaves in the Torah Law and modern regulations regarding domestic workers through a theological ethical approach. The main objective of this study is to demonstrate that principles, such as liberation, respect for human dignity, and protection of vulnerable groups, contained in the Torah Law, can serve as a reflective foundation for the struggle for social justice for domestic workers in Indonesia. In addition, this study emphasizes the significance of structural and spiritual reform of the domestic work system through a transformative faith approach.

Abstract

This study examines the transformative-contextual theology model developed by I Wayan Mastra in revitalizing the Protestant Christian Church in Bali between the 1970s and 1990s. Using historical methods, transforming contextual theology into praxis necessitates the leaders' presence, who are grounded and reflective within their context. They are characterized by three qualities: first, existential sensitivity to the social context in which they operate, as defined in Paulo Freire's concept of conscientization; second, a willingness to be shaped through “candidate training”—both in academic and non-academic spheres—which produces innovative, open, critical, and practical individuals; and third, an inner drive rooted in compassion (splagcnizomai) that motivates leaders to act concretely amid crisis. The Mastra’s methodological framework demonstrates a systematic and visionary approach. Starting from the root causes’ identification, a transformative vision emerges: (1) the core values’ formulation as a catalyst for social transformation; (2) theological renewal through hermeneutical decolonization; and (3) holistic praxis that addresses spiritual, cultural, educational, and economic dimensions. Implementing these practices includes contextualizing the Gospel, strengthening human resources through vocational and formal education, and empowering the congregation economically based on local potential. Thus, this theological model is reflective and operational in striving for human integrity and community liberation.

Abstract

The perceived binary between “world religions” and indigenous traditions is a colonial construct. The editorial asserts that dismantling this oppositional framework is essential for decolonizing religion and enabling constructive conversations with local and indigenous episteme and practices. The five articles in this edition demonstrate how engaging with local practices and indigenous knowledge creates space for resilience, relationality, and ecological stewardship. Such a decolonial approach offers a crucial framework for responding to contemporary global problems, including the climate crisis, economic precarity, and systemic injustices. Ultimately, this editorial calls for more holistic religious praxes and alternative socio-ethical imaginaries.
