Abstract

Collaboration among leaders is a foundational aspect of leadership in Christian schools, rooted in the unity of the body of Christ. However, such collaboration does not occur automatically and is often hindered by personality differences, unstable faith, and divergent goals or personal interests. This article aims to analyze the obstacles to cooperation among leaders in Christian school settings by examining biblical narratives and proposing solutions from a theological perspective. Using a reflective-theological approach and current literature, this article highlights that Christian collaboration is not merely an administrative strategy, but an expression of koinonia—a fellowship that mirrors the loving relationship within the Triune God. Proposed solutions include spiritual and character formation, spiritual mentoring, restorative conflict resolution, and reaffirming a shared vision. These insights are intended to foster a more authentic and transformative model of Christian leadership within educational communities.

Abstract

Early Western missionaries to Africa have been criticised for lacking cultural sensitivity to African indigenous religion(s) (AIR). This interpretive phenomenological study examines how the presence of Indigenous African Catholic missionaries in modern sub-Saharan Africa may have shifted the narrative of missionary encounters. It investigates how these missionaries navigate and experience cultural sensitivity within the context of their work. This study is based on the theoretical frameworks of inculturation and dialogue, informed by the Second Vatican Council’s focus on interreligious dialogue and Pope John Paul II’s advocacy for evangelising African cultures. Eight African missionaries from Western, Eastern, Central and Southern sub-Saharan Africa participated in this study, providing narrative data through semi-structured interviews. African missionaries have indicated both cultural sensitivity and insensitivity towards AIR, with some missionaries appreciating shared values and actively engaging in respectful interactions with AIR. However, challenges emerge in this interaction, including navigating cultural differences, syncretism, historical prejudices and theological dilemmas. Despite these challenges, indigenous missionaries are committed to inculturation and dialogue, incorporating certain indigenous practices into worship and developing culturally relevant pastoral approaches. The study recommends developing culturally sensitive evangelistic approaches that not only value and respect indigenous identities and spiritualities but also promote mutual understanding and social unity.

Abstract

Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) is an essential competency for pre-service teachers, particularly science teachers at the elementary school level. PCK integrates content knowledge with pedagogical knowledge, enabling teachers to deliver science concepts effectively according to students’ cognitive development. In the context of Christian education, the understanding of science content and pedagogy should be grounded in a Biblical Christian Worldview (BCW) so that learning remains Christ-centered and founded on the truth of God’s Word. This study analysed the PCK of pre-service elementary school teachers in teaching science using the Content Representation (CoRe) instrument within a Christian education context. A descriptive quantitative method was employed with 78 student teachers as participants. The findings revealed that 29% of participants demonstrated PCK in the “very good” category, 62% in the “good” category, 8% in the “fair” category, and 1% in the “poor” category. These results emphasize the importance of equipping pre-service teachers with adequate PCK to strengthen the quality of science instruction, particularly when framed by a biblical worldview.

Abstract

Levels of anxiety and self-esteem often affect students’ lives, even causing students to fail, unable to fulfil the academic requirements of lectures, and undergo the entire educational process. As a matter of fact, in general, students are not aware of this reality. Therefore, this study aims to find whether there is a relationship between the level of self-esteem and anxiety levels in Christian Religion Education students at UPH. In order to find the relationship between self-esteem and anxiety levels, this research is conducted in quantitative methods and the type of research is correlational. The sample is collecting between January and June 2019. As the results, students who classified as low self-esteem is 55% meanwhile 54% of students who have high levels of anxiety. The correlation between the two is -0.6. The negative correlation results indicate that the lower level of self-esteem will make the level of anxiety higher. The results of this study can be used to determine interventions, either through coaching, personal counselling, or through group therapy.

Abstract

Just as magic was undermined in the Acts of the Apostles, its spread throughout the whole region of the Greco-Roman Region was also undermined. Although the magic episode occurred six times in the Acts of the Apostles, the demonstration of the geographical aspect of magic in the Acts of the Apostles was undermined. The prominent question regarding the presence of magic in the Greco-Roman reigns is how serious was magic during the Greco-Roman Era for Christianity so that the gospel could be proclaimed to the end of the world? This article will demonstrate the seriousness of magic to impede the spread of the gospel is obvious when analyzing the geographical spread of magic. The aim of this article is to demonstrate the magical context of each Roman city where magic was there. Moreover, this article also demonstrates the significance of the geographical aspect of magic for the spread of the Gospel. This geographical aspect will be argued within the context of the apologetic purpose of the Acts of the Apostles and the spread of the gospel to the end of the world to fulfill Jesus’ command to his disciples.

Abstract

In the Old Testament, there is a prophecy about God that gave a sign that a virgin would conceive and give birth to a son, and she would name him Immanuel. Although the term sounds familiar, the word Immanuel is only mentioned 3 times in the Bible, namely in Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 8:8 and Matthew 1:23. The word "Immanuel" itself literally means "God with us." This word is a designation that refers to the presence of God in accompanying His people. This article will discuss further the meaning of the word "Immanuel" according to the view of one of the church fathers named Cyril of Alexandria.BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRACT: Dalam Perjanjian Lama terdapat nubuat tentang Tuhan yang memberikan tanda bahwa seorang anak dara akan mengandung dan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki, dan ia akan menamai-Nya Imanuel. Meskipun istilah ini terdengar tidak asing, kata Imanuel hanya disebutkan sebanyak 3 kali di dalam Alkitab, yaitu di dalam Yesaya 7:14, Yesaya 8:8, dan Matius 1:23. Kata "Imanuel" sendiri secara harfiah berarti "Allah menyertai kita". Kata ini merupakan sebutan yang merujuk pada kehadiran Tuhan dalam menyertai umat-Nya. Artikel ini akan membahas lebih jauh arti kata "Imanuel" menurut pandangan salah satu bapa gereja yang bernama Cyril dari Aleksandria.

Abstract

The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him throughout his life according to Westminster Shorter Catechism. Glorifying God and enjoying Him means that humans acknowledge the existence of God and apply God's truth in all aspects of their lives according to the Word of God. Enjoying and glorifying God is a privilege given by God to Christians who are created in the image and likeness of God. As a result of the fall of man into sin, and sinful humans cannot know God properly according to the Word of God. The redemption of Christ on the cross reconciles believers with God, and they can relate with God even though they also have to struggle against sin. The method of writing this article uses literature research to examine the issue of the spiritual growth of believers, through various theological literature, both relevant books and journals, and the Bible as the main source. The writing of this article aims to understand the purpose of human life which is to glorify and enjoy God throughout life, and its application in daily life, recognizing the various traps of false spiritual growth. Glorifying God and enjoying Him could only be experienced when believers experience Christ's redemption and grow more Christlike in absolute obedience to Christ.BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRACT: Tujuan utama manusia adalah untuk memuliakan Allah dan menikmati Dia sepanjang hidupnya menurut Katekismus Singkat Westminster. Memuliakan Tuhan dan menikmati Dia berarti manusia mengakui keberadaan Tuhan dan menerapkan kebenaran Tuhan dalam seluruh aspek kehidupannya sesuai dengan Firman Tuhan. Menikmati dan memuliakan Allah adalah hak istimewa yang diberikan Allah kepada orang Kristen yang diciptakan menurut gambar dan rupa Allah. Akibat kejatuhan manusia ke dalam dosa, manusia yang berdosa tidak dapat mengenal Allah dengan benar sesuai dengan Firman Tuhan. Penebusan Kristus di kayu salib memperdamaikan orang percaya dengan Allah, dan mereka dapat berhubungan dengan Allah walaupun mereka juga harus bergumul melawan dosa. Metode penulisan artikel ini menggunakan penelitian kepustakaan untuk menelaah masalah pertumbuhan rohani orang percaya, melalui berbagai literatur teologi, baik buku-buku maupun jurnal yang relevan, dan Alkitab sebagai sumber utama. Penulisan artikel ini bertujuan untuk memahami tujuan hidup manusia yaitu memuliakan dan menikmati Tuhan sepanjang hidup, serta penerapannya dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, dengan mengenali berbagai jebakan pertumbuhan rohani yang palsu. Memuliakan Tuhan dan menikmati Dia hanya dapat dialami ketika orang percaya mengalami penebusan Kristus dan bertumbuh menjadi semakin serupa dengan Kristus dalam ketaatan yang mutlak kepada Kristus.

Abstract

The idea of man’s belief in curses poses a problem for the curse Psalms.  Among believers, there is a misunderstanding of the curse in Psalm 83:1-19. A critical evaluation is needed to correctly understand this curse Psalm because it contains complex life values. Critical evaluation is part of the resolution process of ethical problems in the lives of believers. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to offer a critical evaluation of the understanding of this curse Psalm amidst the issue of ethical problems in the lives of believers so that every believer knows the intention of the Psalmist in the actualization of human morals. The result of this study shows that the Psalmist offers his prayers to punish his enemies in order to demonstrate God’s justice, truth, and mighty work over the sin of man. Instead of hoping his enemies will be punished, the Psalmist emphasizes God’ s love. With this understanding, believers should be enriched knowing God’s love and punishment are not contradictory. The method used in this study is a literature review. BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRACT: Gagasan tentang kepercayaan manusia pada kutukan menimbulkan masalah bagi Mazmur terkutuk.
