Abstract

On November 7, 2017, the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia, decision number 97/PUU-XIV/2016, finally granted an accusation against several points of the Demography Administration Law. If not properly addressed, the decision will erode the number of members of the ethnic churches in Indonesia. The decision will be a driving force for them to reformulate their identities as believers and not Christians. Two historical backgrounds that made excesses of the decision namely the excesses of the G30S/PKI 1965 events that caused a large number of local believers to become Christians and the European nation's missionary legacy that was less friendly to Indonesian local cultures. To address this, I propose an alternative reading of the Bible that is friendlier to local beliefs - namely Cross-textual Hermeneutics. I will use the Protestant Batak Karo Church (GBKP) as a case study.  Keywords: Hermeneutics, mission, identity, Karo, cultural-belief, Cross-textual Hermeneutics.

Abstract

Artikel ini bertumpu pada tesis bahwa orang Sumba penganut Marapu telah mengalami ketidakadilan karena pemerintah Indonesia tidak memberi pengakuan yang seharusnya terhadap agama asli yang menjadi identitas budaya dan sumber dari kekayaan kebudayaan orang Sumba. Dengan menjadikan pemikiran Nancy Fraser tentang three-dimensional theory of justice sebagai bingkai konseptual, penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa diskriminasi dan marginalisasi terhadap penganut kepercayaan Marapu adalah konsekuensi dari produk hukum pemerintah yang tidak menjamin keadilan sosial. Ketidakadilan tampak melalui aturan dan tindakan pemerintah yang melukai identitas religius-kultural orang Sumba maupun melalui politik redistribusi terkait ekspresi budaya yang menunjang program pariwisata tanpa memberi pengakuan terhadap Marapu sebagai agama asli orang Sumba. Sebab itu akan ditunjukkan juga bahwa keadilan sosial bagi seluruh rakyat Indonesia, termasuk orang Sumba penganut Marapu, hanya dicapai jika negara memberi pengakuan yang memadai, mencakup politik redistribusi dan politik pengakuan yang diregularisasi berdasarkan produk hukum yang adil.KATA-KATA KUNCI: Marapu, identitas budaya, agama asli, pengakuan, redistribusi.

Abstract

Artikel ini merupakan sebuah eksplorasi untuk menemukan pesan-pesan pembebasan bagi kaum perempuan berdasarkan cerita rakyat, “Jaka Tarub dan Tujuh Bidadari.” Meskipun bukan merupakan telaah yang sempurna tetapi sangat cukup untuk memberi pemahaman tentang polemik peradaban, yang senantiasa menjadi topik hangat untuk diperbincangkan. Masalah gender adalah masalah manusia global dan lokal. Masalah ini terus-menerus diperdebatkan dan diperbincangkan terutama oleh kaum perempuan yang menuntut penghargaan atas kualitas manusia secara seimbang. Legenda “Jaka Tarub dan Tujuh Bidadari” menjadi kunci untuk membedah konteks masyarakat dulu dan sekarang tentang masifnya persoalan gender (terutama karena kuatnya budaya patriarki) yang kemudian menyulut aneka bentuk gerakan perempuan untuk merekonstruksi prinsip keseimbangan, karena pada dasarnya, manusia adalah citra Allah. Menggunakan metode analisis teks, artikel ini menyajikan sebuah cara pandang baru bahwa perempuan, sebagaimana laki-laki, berhak mengekspresikan talenta-talentanya dalam membangun dunia menjadi lebih baik.KATA-KATA KUNCI: legenda, patriarki, perempuan, egaliter, kerja sama.

Abstract

This research was conducted to answer the question of what competent politicians are and the relationship between the strategies they use in the public sphere with moral and religious principles. The research rests on the thesis that the competence of politicians cannot be separated from morality and religiosity. The goal is achieved through asymmetrical comparison of the teachings of Jesus with Machiavelli's political thoughts. The teachings of Jesus and Machiavelli's thoughts–about the situation of public sphere, the strategy used to overcome the situation and the role of moral and religious principles in the public sphere–will be compared to understand and answer the questions asked. It shows that competencies have relations with effective strategies to overcome the unideal situations in political public sphere and the application of value systems that limit the use of political strategies. Thus, political strategy has a strong relationship with religiosity and morality.

Abstract

Churches needs to consider how to do mission in the era of global capitalism. The negative impact of the current global capitalism epoch is created by economic and political gaps. Massive destruction of nature is also an impact of global capitalism. The topic will be elaborated through a literature research. The church faces a dif-ferent type of global reality in each age; however, it can learn from Jesus ministry. Jesus’ ministry showed concern for the poor, the marginalized and the helpless. Jesus is not someone who does not care about economic and political issues. The ministry carried out also has relevance to the individual and structural life. There is no structural change without individual changes (and vice versa). The church also needs to build a collective network to strive for a better life. Keywords: mission; global capitalism; ministry; Jesus.

Abstract

The witness of faith is an important element in interreligious dialogue to nourish the existence of theology in intercultural contexts. But dialogue tends to be understood as merely sharing truth information and doctrines in various religions. Such model dialogue is actually not relevant in religious plurality. On the other hand, there are challenges to creating dialogue, including: arrogance, closed attitudes, and claims of truth absolutism. Such a situation does not foster theology in an intercultural context. Humility is the key to dialogue, and the witness of faith plays an important role in nourishing theology in intercultural contexts. In interreligious dialogue, the important witness of faith today is living and practicing the authentic teachings of every religion, such as living in peace, harmony of fraternity, building wisdom of love, and creating justice. This paper will explore the significance of faith witness-ing in interreligious dialogue and intercultural theology with literature research methods to offer implementative recommendations. Keywords: faith witness; dialogue; interreligious; intercultural; theology

Abstract

Interreligious conflicts often occur in Indonesia, a country with various beliefs and religions. In this article, I approach these conflicts using the thoughts of Nicholas Cusanus, a medieval Catholic thinker who also faced interreligious conflict of his time, the Fall of Constantinople to Ottoman Turks. I analyze Cusanus‘ thought about religions in his works, De Pace Fidei and Cribratio Alkorani, which prove that Cusanus position on other religions is in the midst of exclusivism and pluralism. Afterwards, I will suggest reflection and application based on: 1. Interpretation of the work of Cusanus De Pace Fidei and Cribratio Alkorani, 2. Contextualizing the interpretation with interreligious conflict in Indonesia, appreciatively and critically. There are three points of reflection and application in this article: 1. A non-violent approach to other religions, 2. Sensitivity to political interests in interreligious conflict, 3. Initiates friendly and open dialogue between religions, and 4. Increase active tolerance that breaks down the dividing walls. Keywords: Nicholas Cusanus; pluralism; exclusivism; inclusivism; interreligious conflict.

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic in the blink of an eye has radically changed the world as we know it. In a depressive atmosphere like this themes of doomsday or end of time naturally  surfaces.  This  paper  discusses  the  eschatological  options  of  Christian  beliefs and how they can contribute to the wider community. The eschatological discourse would be limited to three options with respect to the realization of God’s rule on earth, namely: premillennialism, postmillennialism and amillennialism in relation to the crisis of the times, the basic longings of humanity, and the reality of power. This paper tries to show how amillennialist eschatology can help Christians realize their social responsibility on the one hand, and on the other hand realize their limitations and mortality, while not losing hope in difficult conditions such as in pandemic times. This research employs hermeneutics and dogmatic studies to reach its aim. Keywords: Covid-19; doomsday; parousia; apocalypse; eschatology

Abstract

Protestant political theology believes the government is God’s vice in this world therefore has a legitimation to manage all aspect of human life. This conviction affected Protestants to unquestioningly obeyed the goverment. On the other hand the doctrine of the fall in Reformed tradition, believes that all aspect of creation has fall short of glory, consequently, the government as a part of creation could also fell into corruption. For this reason, a long-standing of Calvinist tradition has a lot of theological resourcement to be critical-constructive to authority. This paper tries to dig John Calvin’s theological treatises from his early writing and seminal works through historical theology method, to find Calvin’s basic idea about the critical nature of church-goverment relationship. The excavation from Calvin’s early writing in this paper prospecfully would give critical and analytical tools to undertand ethical relation between church and government in Indonesia context. Keywords:political theology; calvinism; historical theology; critical attitude; government.
