Abstract

Especially among the Abrahamic religions, quite regularly spirituality implies a relationship with God or else some other supposed “sacred” entities or forces. This starting point precludes a fully psychological explanation of spirituality since appeal to God exceeds the methodology of the social or human sciences: Psychology is not theology. In contrast, a traditional Christian axion holds that "grace builds on nature." Accordingly, recognize that a dimension of the human mind itself—consciousness or human spirit—is first and foremost the source and object of spiritual experiences. Then the natural becomes fundamental, theoretically the essential, and at its roots spirituality lies within the competence of human study, and religious accounts are further elaborations. This proposition is the thesis of this article. Following the trenchant analyses of Bernard Lonergan, this account recognizes human consciousness or spirit as a dynamic dimension of the mind, self-present, out-going, self-transcending, open-ended, geared to reality, and normative: These requisites inherent in consciousness orient a person toward the true and the good. Then personal integration and spiritual growth coincide—in this way: Psychotherapeutic healing frees the spirit to increasingly take the lead and guide one’s living, constituting one as “a spiritual person.” The specification of consciousness/spirit contrasts with other mental content—emotions, memory, imagery—and suggests a tripartite human model (organism, psyche, and consciousness) in place of the standard bipartite model (body and mind). Such a naturalistic starting point easily supports religious elaboration, seeing God as Creator (theology) and envisioning union with God (theotics). This theory foresees the collaboration of the world's religions in acknowledging a common spiritual foundation for themselves and for our pluralistic secular society.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates whether reading about Indefinite Life Extension (ILE) can reduce death thought accessibility, particularly among men, as a way to manage death-related concerns. The study aims to explore gender differences in the psychological function of ILE as a terror management strategy. Methodology: An experimental design was used, involving 110 American undergraduate students. Participants were randomly assigned to read about ILE, the afterlife, or a neutral technological advance (teleportation) following a mortality salience prime. The primary outcome measured was death thought accessibility (DTA), with gender as a key variable. Findings: The results revealed that, after being reminded of mortality, reading about the possibility of ILE significantly reduced DTA among men compared to the control condition. However, this effect was not observed among women, who did not show a similar reduction in DTA after reading about ILE. Research Implications: These findings contribute to the growing literature on the terror management function of ILE, highlighting the role of gender in moderating responses to death-related concerns. The study suggests that ILE may serve as an effective strategy for men in managing existential anxiety, whereas women may rely more on traditional beliefs in the afterlife. Originality/Value: This study offers new insights into the gender-specific psychological mechanisms underlying the appeal of life extension technologies, expanding the understanding of how different groups use ILE as a tool for managing death anxiety.

Abstract

This article delves into the religious conflict that transpired in Ambon from 1999 to 2004, with a specific focus on elucidating the formation of collective memory as a pivotal mechanism for fostering post-conflict reconciliation. Employing a methodology amalgamating literature review and in-depth interviews, this research scrutinizes the intricate dynamics of the conflict, delineating the roles played by both Muslim and Christian communities, not only as victims but also as perpetrators. The principal findings underscore the shared responsibility of both groups in instigating the conflict, resulting in egregious acts such as assaults, homicides, and property destruction. The article accentuates the imperative of mutual acknowledgment regarding each community's role in the conflict as an indispensable stride towards reconciliation. It posits that an accurate and all-encompassing collective memory of the conflict serves as a catalyst for communities to critically assess their religious practices and fosters a climate of receptivity to broader religious understandings. The research underscores the significance of cultivating a nuanced collective memory in upholding peace and harmony within a diverse post-conflict society.

Abstract

Purpose: This study explores the role of cybertheology in addressing the ethical and societal challenges posed by Artificial Superintelligence (ASI), which has the potential to surpass human cognitive capabilities, heralding a profound cultural and existential crisis. It integrates theological anthropology to assess the implications of a posthuman future. Methodology: Utilising a comprehensive literature review, the research examines technological, philosophical, and theological perspectives through primary and secondary sources, including influential works by futurists and ethicists. The methodology aims to uncover the nuanced discourse surrounding the development of ASI and its potential impacts. Findings: The analysis reveals a narrative marked by speculative optimism and significant existential concerns regarding ASI. A critical gap in the existing ethical discourse is identified, highlighting the necessity for a grounded ethical framework that addresses the profound implications of superintelligent entities on human dignity and societal norms. Research Implications: The findings emphasise the urgent need to incorporate robust ethical considerations into the development and deployment of ASI. Cybertheology is presented as a vital framework for ensuring that ASI technologies align with human values and theological insights, thus providing a valuable lens through which to view the integration of superintelligence into society. Originality/Value: This paper contributes to academic and policy discussions on ASI by promoting cybertheology as a crucial perspective in ethical deliberations. It enriches scholarly dialogues by linking technological advancements with theological and ethical evaluations, proposing that cybertheology can play a pivotal role in shaping policies that govern ASI technologies. This approach ensures that technological progress is compatible with humanistic values, fostering a holistic understanding of ASI's potential impact on humanity.

Abstract

This article examines the liturgical practices of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in South Africa (EPCSA), focusing on its Sunday liturgy, within the broader context of cultural and linguistic considerations. The EPCSA, formerly known as the Tsonga Presbyterian Church (TPC), has a diverse array of liturgies, each composed in Tsonga. Liturgy, as an integral part of worship, has evolved over the history of Christian practices, influenced by various cultures and people. This study emphasizes the cultural aspect of liturgy, asserting that the incorporation of nature into the relationship with God holds cultural significance. While the Tsonga language remains central to the EPCSA's tradition, the changing demographic landscape, with the church previously comprising Tsonga-speaking members exclusively, necessitates a reconsideration of its liturgical approach. The article utilizes a literature review to argue that the current Sunday liturgy may exhibit exclusivity. It underscores the importance of adapting liturgical practices to accommodate changes in the composition of the congregation, emphasizing the unity of diverse individuals coming together to worship a shared God despite their differences.

Abstract

Purpose: This study explores Muslim perceptions and evaluations of virtual Hajj within the metaverse, focusing on its acceptance as a religious practice. Methodology: Utilising a qualitative descriptive approach, data were sourced from online news articles identified using the search term "Metaverse Hajj Discourse" on Google. These articles were analyzed to understand the diverse perspectives within the Muslim community regarding virtual Hajj. Findings: The research reveals that while Muslims acknowledge the educational and preparatory benefits of virtual Hajj, it is largely rejected as a legitimate form of fulfilling the religious obligations of Hajj, due to its failure to encapsulate the physical and spiritual elements of the pilgrimage. Research Implications: This study highlights the need for a nuanced understanding of virtual religious practices, suggesting that while such technologies can augment the educational aspects of religious rituals, they cannot replace the physical acts prescribed by religious doctrines. Originality/Value: The research contributes to the emerging discourse on religious practices within digital spaces, offering insights into the intersection of technology and traditional religious practices, and setting a foundation for future theological discussions on virtual reality's role in religion.

Abstract

This study aims to offer an Orthodox response to the challenges posed by the new understanding of Christian universalism. We argue that contemporary man requires a clear and comprehensive answer to this issue, given that universalism is not merely a theological concept but also must be understood by each individual. This response is imperative as Christianity is obligated to answer everyone at all times, in line with the teachings of Apostle Peter about being prepared to answer questions about our hope (1 Peter 3:15). In this context, the study examines contemporary antinomian views on Christian universalism, with a specific focus on the original theory of theologian Pavel Florensky. Florensky posits that divine judgment will separate the 'holy self' of the damned - which will be preserved without exception and viewed joyously by the righteous, but will only objectively exist for them - from their self-consciousness of enduring torment and illusory subjectivity. Through this lens, hell is perceived as the sole reality in the consciousness of the damned, yet non-existent in the consciousness of God and the righteous. This study provides an important perspective on how Orthodox theology can respond to the challenges of universalism in a contemporary context.

Abstract

Purpose: This study explores the role of humour in fostering interreligious dialogue and cooperation within Indonesia’s digital spaces, particularly during the politically charged atmosphere of the 2024 general election. Methodology: Employing netnography, this research focuses on the 'Garis Lucu' (GL) cyberculture, analysing interactions on platforms like Twitter and Instagram to understand how humour mediates religious and political discourse. Findings: The study identifies three main themes: political engagement, political communication, and religious humour. Humour was found to significantly enhance civic engagement and function as a bridge in interreligious communication, easing tensions and fostering a culture of mutual respect and understanding. Research Implications: The findings suggest that digital platforms can serve as effective forums for promoting societal harmony and tolerance through humour, particularly in diverse societies facing political and religious tensions. Originality/Value: This research contributes to the understanding of cyberculture and interreligious dialogue by illustrating how humour can transform potentially divisive political interactions into opportunities for constructive and harmonious exchanges.

Abstract

The aftermath of COVID-19 has wrought significant emotional distress, exacerbating the incidence of emotionally motivated crimes, particularly within families. This phenomenon presents a substantial challenge to the South African Police Service (SAPS), especially due to the private nature of these crimes. In response, this study investigates whether the religious community in the Mamelodi policing area can leverage emotional intelligence (EI) to foster resilience and aid in crime prevention. We employed a quantitative approach, utilizing non-probability sampling to survey 104 adult Christians in Mamelodi. Participants provided informed consent. The Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form (TEIQue-SF) was used for assessment, covering four EI variables: emotionality, self-control, sociability, and well-being. The findings reveal a high level of EI, with scores of 74.06% for emotionality, 68.41% for self-control, 59.26% for sociability, and an impressive 86.84% for well-being, culminating in an overall EI score of 72.14%. These results suggest that Mamelodi's churches are effective community-based entities capable of collaborating with SAPS to prevent emotionally driven crimes, through resilience-building rooted in EI competencies. This research contributes to the South African academic discourse by intersecting psychology, policing, and community studies, particularly focusing on a township population often living below the poverty line and with limited EI awareness.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the digital strategies employed by Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah, two of Indonesia's largest moderate Islamic organisations, in countering radicalism on social media. The research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of these strategies in reaching and influencing the younger generation, particularly in the context of growing radical content online. Methodology: A qualitative approach was utilised, involving direct observation of social media content, in-depth interviews with key figures from NU and Muhammadiyah, and a review of relevant literature. The study also included interviews with Generation Z students to gauge their responses to the digital strategies of these organisations. Findings: The study found that NU's innovative approach, particularly through creative social media campaigns like "Merah Putih vs. Radikalisme" on YouTube, has been more effective in capturing broad public attention and reinforcing moderate Islamic narratives. In contrast, Muhammadiyah's more relaxed approach, while meaningful, has not achieved the same level of impact among younger audiences. However, Muhammadiyah's digital applications like SalamMu and Edumu contribute significantly to promoting moderate Islam and countering radical influences. Research Implications: The findings underscore the importance of continuous innovation in digital strategies for religious organisations to maintain relevance and effectiveness in combating radicalism. The study suggests that both NU and Muhammadiyah need to refine their approaches further to better engage with the younger generation, who are more susceptible to radical ideologies online. Originality/Value: This research contributes to the understanding of the intersection between religion and digital technology in a predominantly Muslim society. It provides unique insights into how moderate Islamic organisations can leverage social media to counter radicalism and foster a culture of tolerance and inclusivity in the digital age. The study also highlights the potential and limitations of current strategies, offering a foundation for future research and policy development in digital counter-radicalism efforts.
