Abstract

This editorial is a small step in an effort to reinterpret the first principle of Pancasila from the perspective of John Calvin's political thought. This effort was motivated by various acts of religious intolerance in Indonesia. This setting cannot be separated from the structural factors surrounding it: government intervention in internal religious affairs. Therefore, a reinterpretation of the first principle is urgently needed because this reinterpretation of the principle of Belief in One God can guarantee freedom of religion and the role of religion in the public sphere. In this way, religion can become a liberating force capable of creating democratic social and political life.

Abstract

In the study of citizenship in Indonesia, the term majority-minority is well recognized. This paper aims to challenge the power dynamics behind the majority-minority discourse in Indonesia. Discussions about minorities, which were initially intended as a means of advocacy, have transformed into a tool of domination. In the context of Identity Politics in the latter half of the 20th century, minorities were associated with the defense of Black people in the United States, as well as gay and lesbian communities, and Native American groups. In Indonesia, however, the discourse on majority and minority has shifted tonumerical considerations. This discourse is evident in conversations about citizenship in Indonesia, particularly regarding religious backgrounds, leading to the terms majority religion and minority religion. Using the Netnography method, this research explores various ways of interpreting the term minority within Indonesian society. This study employs Pierre Bourdieu's theory of Symbolic Violence as its analytical framework. From this perspective, it is revealed that the prevailing discourse is not about majority-minority but rather the process of minoritization. This paper proposes a counter-current logic. The prevailing logic of domination associated with the term minority is encouraged to revert to the advocacy logic that originally inspired it.

Abstract

Chosen people is a term often applied to Jews. However, the post-New Testament church considered Israel’s peoplehood to have ended, a theological assumption that has only been corrected since the mid-20th century. The present article re-examines the concept of the chosen people biblically. The Deuteronomic language for the election of Israel is their deliverance from Egyptian slavery to become a nation of Yahweh’s worshipers (‘ebed peoplehood). However, the Sinaitic Covenant required Israel to be more than that, namely to be a special people, an exemplary peoplehood (segullā peoplehood). The reality of ‘ebed peoplehood is unconditional and its basis is solely the God-factor, His love and fidelity (Deut. 7:6-8). On the contrary, the reality of segullā peoplehood is conditional and its basis is Israel-factor, their seriousness in keeping the covenant (Ex. 19:5-6), which then turned out to fail except for the remnant. However, Israel's failure paved the way for an expanded peoplehood, which includes non-Jews en masse, while the mass salvation of the Jews is an eschatological reality (Rom. 11:25-26).

Abstract

This study explores the socio-cultural dynamics of Javanese coastal communities, emphasizing the existence of their indigenous traditional beliefs: Javanism (Kejawen) with its unique spirituality and Abangan, which practically reflects Islam in a syncretic form blending Javanese culture and Sufism. The research focuses on six regions: Subang, Cirebon, Pekalongan, Rembang, Tuban, and Pasuruan. Using Spradley’s domain, it examines the spiritual frameworks and practices of Kejawen and Abangan, including distinctive traditions such as mysticism and cultural titles. Participatory observations reveal that Kejawen and Abangan communities continue to preserve their beliefs, actively practising them while shaping a communal identity that strengthens social bonds. Ironically, some deviant practices, such as shamanism, charms for wealth, and occultism, are often associated with these groups. The findings also highlight the critical role of religious moderation in safeguarding traditional practices, addressing misuse of beliefs, and promoting harmony. This study offers valuable insights into the resilience of Javanese culture amidst the dynamics of contemporary society.

Abstract

The reading of Scripture is susceptible to interpretation and can offer constructive values, but it can also lead to self-exclusion and destructive actions. Traditionally, the reading and interpretation of Scripture have been an internal activity within each religious community. However, in Yogyakarta, Scriptural Reasoning activities are being organized by the Young Interfaith Peacemaker Community (YIPC) Indonesia, involving participants from diverse religious and belief backgrounds. This research examines the response of Christian Youth engaged in Scriptural Reasoning activities, specifically focusing on how they create a welcoming space for the presence of the other. The research will employ an analytical descriptive method, with data gathered through participatory observation, interviews with respondents selected via purposive sampling, and the collection of relevant literature and documents. Respondents will include organizers of Scriptural Reasoning activities and Christian participants. The data will be analyzed using Marianne Moyaert’s concept of hermeneutic hospitality. This study highlights the significance of hermeneutic openness as an expression of hospitality within the Christian community and the importance of creating space for interreligious dialogue. Reading sacred texts can also help prevent conflicts of religious sentiments based on scriptural interpretation.

Abstract

This paper is a critical analysis of two important texts in two cultural traditions, namely the story of “The Fall” in Genesis chapter 3 in the Judeo-Christian tradition and “Sang Durjodana Arsa Ngasoraké Pandawa sarana Prang Dadu” in the Mahabharata epic in the Javanese tradition, Sadjarah Pandawa Korawa, by Raden Tanojo. The analysis process of juxtaposing the two texts will use the characterization method that focuses on the speech and actions performed by the serpent and Sengkuni as a representation of external elements that are capable of influencing human actions. Both are portrayed as intelligent and cunning, and they use their cunning to tempt other characters, Eve and Yudhistira, to sin or mistake. In addition, a text reading of the Book of Genesis can provide a perspective that not everything has to end with war and violence in the Mahabharata. Also, a text-reading of the Mahabharata can provide a perspective that humans must dare to bear their faults instead of running and hiding as told in the Book of Genesis.

Abstract

The struggle to bring about social justice is sometimes suspected of being a form of cultural Marxism. Is this view representative from a Christian theological perspective? Of course, the answer given will depend on our understanding of social justice itself. Thus, we need to look at several passages of Scripture to get a more balanced picture of this.
