Abstract

The digital era is marked by changes in how Christians view, use, access, understand, and even interpret the Bible, particularly through social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram (IG), and Facebook (FB), which allow anyone to consume spiritual content instantly in visual form. Bible verses are packaged into short content that aligns with existing algorithm logic, regardless of their original historical and literary context. This is a form of fragmented or pragmatic micro-theology. The purpose of this research is to analyze how Bible verses are interpreted on social media, evaluate how well these interpretations align with classical hermeneutical principles, and explain how these patterns influence people's views on the authority of the Bible in the digital world. The qualitative-descriptive method was used to analyze through content observation, hermeneutic literature study, and comparison between digital and classical exegesis. The findings of this study indicate that algorithms play a major role in determining authority, that virality and content aesthetics have more influence on theological legitimacy than hermeneutical depth. The study concludes that the algorithms have shifted authority from canonical texts and faith communities to digital metrics, implying that the church must develop a digital hermeneutic approach that connects the complexity of classical theology with the dynamics of current social media.

Abstract

Artikel ini mengeksplorasi signifikansi teologis prolog Injil Lukas (Luk. 1:1–2:52) melalui pendekatan kanonik-naratifyang terintegrasi. Dengan menggabungkan konsep canonical shaping dari Brevard S. Childs, kerangka historiarevelationis dari Gerhardus Vos, dan wawasan Theological Interpretation of Scripture (TIS), studi ini menunjukkanbagaimana Lukas mengonstruksi teologi “continuity-in-discontinuity” antara tradisi Israel dan peristiwa Kristus.Berbeda dari kajian terdahulu yang cenderung memisahkan ketiga pendekatan ini, studi ini mengajukan bahwa integrasiketiganya menghasilkan pembacaan yang lebih koheren atas fungsi prolegomenik Lukas 1–2 dalam narasi Lukas-KisahPara Rasul. Analisis terhadap elemen naratif, nyanyian teologis (Magnificat, Benedictus, Nunc Dimittis), dan kosakataYunani kunci mengungkapkan bahwa Lukas secara strategis memposisikan Yesus sebagai kulminasi organik dariseluruh kisah keselamatan (Heilsgeschichte) Israel. Implikasi hermeneutis bagi konteks Indonesia dirumuskan melaluimodel pembacaan yang menjembatani kesetiaan teks kanonik dengan responsivitas kontekstual yang inklusif dantransformatif.

Abstract

Christian Religious Education (PAK) plays a crucial role in shaping students’ character, particularly amid the increasingly complex digital age. This urgency arises due to the weakening of Christian character practices, reflected in various negative phenomena, such as bullying, violence among students, the fading of good manners, declining social awareness, the destructive misuse of digital media, and increasing intolerance within the school environment. This study aims to analyze the role of Christian Character Education (CCE) in shaping the character of junior high school (SMP) students using a qualitative approach through a literature review, grounded in Thomas Lickona’s character theory. The results indicate that CCE plays a significant role in shaping students’ character through three primary pathways: Bible-based instruction, the cultivation of positive attitudes in daily life, and teachers serving as moral role models. These three pathways align with the three moral dimensions proposed by Lickona, namely moral knowing, moral feeling, and moral behavior. However, there are a number of challenges that hinder the effectiveness of PAK, including a lack of role modeling within the family environment, the overwhelming influence of modern culture, and the negative impact of digital media. Therefore, strong collaboration between schools, families, and churches is needed, along with improvements in the competencies of religious education teachers, so that character education can be implemented effectively and sustainably.
