Abstract

Discussion about Pangala Tondok Christology began when the Torajan Church decided on Tongkonan Sangullele terms for cultural and religious identity. This study aims to foster fruitful discussion regarding Pangala Tondok Christology in Toraja's multireligious setting (interdenominational church and interreligious). Library research is used in this study, and I created a synthesis model based on Stephen B. Bevans. The first outcome is that Jesus Christ can be portrayed as a new Pangala Tondok in an interdenominational church. The Tongkonan offspring descended from him. The Torajan Church promotes an inclusive, modest, amiable, and transparent approach to interreligious discourse, embracing a respectful attitude toward other religions.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to formulate a theological framework for the concept of death, utilizing the lens of metaphysical anthropology. This study serves as a scholarly reference on the preservation of death ritual traditions in Indonesia, focusing on those observed by the Torajans and Javanese. The significance of this objective lies in the inclination of the Christian tradition in Indonesia to marginalize indigenous cultural practices. This study employs the primary perspective of Gijsbert van den Brink, which is subsequently subjected to constructive analysis by the perspectives of Tibor Horvath, Robert Setio, Ebenhaizer I Nuban Timo, and Jürgen Moltmann. This study presents a theology of metaphysical anthropology of death, specifically focusing on the concept of posse mori in posse non mori. The objective is to propose a solution to preserve the death ceremonial traditions observed by the Torajans and Javanese.

Abstract

This article examines the ethical and theological implications of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in the context of Indonesia’s Ministry of Health Regulation No. 2 of 2025 on Reproductive Health. IVF is widely practiced, including among Christians, but raises moral concerns—particularly regarding the status of embryos, the freezing of surplus embryos, and their potential destruction. Using a qualitative approach with normative-comparative analysis, this article analyzes the regulation from a Christian theological perspective and compares it with Germany’s more embryo-protective policies. The theological discussion examines three positions on the moral status of the pre-implantation embryo: non-personal, pre-personal, and personal. Emphasis is placed on the personalist view, which asserts that human life begins at fertilization and must be protected from the earliest stage, i.e., an embryo is already bearer of God’s image (Imago Dei) since the inception. The article proposes an ethical-theological framework for Christian engagement with IVF, including: limiting embryo production to those intended for implantation, avoiding embryo freezing, rejecting embryo destruction, and affirming the theological meaning of children as a fruit of marital love. This work aims to serve as a contextual and responsible ethical guide for churches and Christian leaders in Indonesia.

Abstract

Religious beliefs are often intertwined with emotional responses, particularly toward stimuli perceived as impure or morally deviant. The way individuals internalize religious teachings may shape how they experience emotions like disgust. This study examined the influence of religious orientation–both intrinsic and extrinsic– on disgust sensitivity among adults in the Greater Jakarta area. To explore this, 375 participants (Mage = 32.18, SD = 2.82) were recruited using snowball and purposive sampling methods and completed an online survey. Religious orientation was measured using the Religious Orientation Scale (ROS), while disgust sensitivity was assessed with the Three Domains of Disgust Scale (TDDS). Analysis revealed that extrinsic religious orientation significantly predicted higher levels of disgust sensitivity, and this relationship was more pronounced among women. These findings suggest that individuals who approach religion for instrumental or social purposes may exhibit heightened emotional reactivity to disgust-related stimuli, with gender differences indicating a potentially stronger sensitivity among women.

Abstract

Agrarian issues are a serious structural problem in Indonesia, especially through land-mafia practices involving the seizure of indigenous lands, certificate manipulation, and collusion with those in power. In this context, the Book of Psalms offers a relevant theological reflection for critiquing agrarian injustice. This article analyzes the theme of land in several key passages—Psalm 24:1, 37:11, 65:9–13, 85:12–13, 19:1–4, 104, 79, and 137—using a biblical-theological approach. The study finds that, in the Psalms, land is understood not as a commodity but as God’s gift—one that must be managed justly, entrusted to the vulnerable, and cared for in its fertility. This perspective presents a prophetic critique of land-mafia practices that violate principles of justice, rob marginalized communities of their rights, and damage the environment. By positioning the Psalms as voices of prayer, lament, and hope, the article proposes an active role for the church and public theology in advocating for agrarian justice, asserting that resistance to land-mafia systems is an act of faith to preserve the land as God’s possession and as a shared source of life.

Abstract

The study of peace and religion cannot be separated from the study of politics because most of us live in countries or political communities, namely, communities that bind citizens and governments, which at least aim to uphold and maintain justice. In other words, peace activists will be involved in politics, both at the operational and ideological levels. The former leads to public policy. Mapping actors and their relationships is a valuable skill for activists as an advanced skill. Afterward, ideology is absolutely essential to study because it is what gives rise to policies that promote peace or, conversely, violence.
