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.

Abstract

Krisis kepercayaan publik yang diakibatkan korupsi sistemik di Indonesia menandakan adanya masalah etis yang fundamental di kalangan pejabat publik. Pendekatan reformasi kontemporer (institusional, sosio-kultural, dan perilaku) cenderung sekuler-rasionalistik dan gagal menjawab pertanyaan teleologis mengenai tujuan hakiki kekuasaan. Untuk mengisi kesenjangan fondasi moral ini, penelitian ini berpaling pada etika politik Patristik. Dengan menggunakan metode studi literatur kualitatif, artikel ini menganalisis konsep oikonomia (penatalayanan) dari Basilius Agung dan iustitia (keadilan) dari Agustinus dari Hippo. Hasil analisis menunjukkan oikonomia Basilius mendefinisikan ulang jabatan sebagai penatalayanan bagi kaum miskin, sementara iustitia Agustinus menetapkan keadilan moral sebagai syarat legitimasi negara. Sintesis keduanya menghasilkan kerangka teo-etis yang mereformasi etos pejabat publik dengan mereorientasi tujuan jabatan dari kekuasaan menjadi pelayanan dan motivasi dari cinta diri menjadi cinta akan keadilan. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa kerangka Basilian-Agustinian menawarkan fondasi etika kebajikan yang melengkapi pendekatan reformasi yang ada dengan menggeser fokus dari sekadar “pejabat bersih” menuju “pejabat luhur” yang berintegritas moral.

Abstract

This article is grounded in the debate over the role of values in the study of religion. Should religious studies be value-free, as argued by McCutcheon, or is value-neutrality impossible, as Goldstein contends? This research departs from that tension and aims to explore how Roy Bhaskar’s critical realism offers a coherent middle path for the discipline. Employing a qualitative literature-based method, the study examines Bhaskar’s works alongside key texts in critical religious studies. The findings show that identifying the colonial, patriarchal, or class-based contexts in which doctrines or rituals emerged is not a moral or political act, but a scientific consequence of causal investigation. Within a Bhaskarian framework, objectivity does not mean value-neutrality; rather, it is an epistemic process aimed at uncovering the mechanisms that shape religious phenomena. Thus, critique of religion is not moralistic but constitutes a component of scientific objectivation. The study finds that the emancipatory dimension of religious studies arises inherently from successful scientific analysis. When mechanisms of oppression, power relations, or ideological structures are revealed, such knowledge becomes emancipatory by virtue of its explanatory power. These insights demonstrate that religious studies can remain critical and objective without slipping into activism or the illusion of pure neutrality.
