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.

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

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

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions designed to reduce Islamophobia, particularly in the context of citizen diplomacy, following the rise in Islamophobia after the 9/11 attacks. Specifically, it investigates the impact of both face-to-face and virtual intergroup contact in mitigating Islamophobia, addressing the growing need for effective strategies to counter negative perceptions of Muslims in the post-9/11 era. Methodology: A Bayesian meta-analysis was conducted using data from 760 studies indexed in Scopus, focusing on interventions targeting Islamophobia. After screening for eligibility, 4 studies were included for analysis. Both fixed-effects and random-effects models were employed within the Bayesian framework to assess the intervention's impact and account for variability across studies. Findings: The results show strong support for the effectiveness of interventions in reducing Islamophobia, with a posterior probability of 77.7% for the fixed-effects model, suggesting consistent reductions across studies. The random-effects model revealed some variability in the effectiveness of interventions, though the overall impact was still significant. These findings emphasize the potential of citizen diplomacy, including both in-person and virtual engagement, to reduce prejudice and foster greater intergroup understanding. Research Implications: This study underscores the critical role of citizen diplomacy in countering Islamophobia. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, non-governmental organizations, and educational institutions seeking to implement or enhance initiatives aimed at promoting intercultural dialogue. The study also demonstrates the utility of Bayesian meta-analysis in synthesizing research on intervention efficacy, offering a rigorous framework for future investigations into prejudice reduction strategies across various cultural contexts. Originality/Value: This research is one of the first to apply Bayesian meta-analysis to evaluate interventions aimed at reducing Islamophobia within citizen diplomacy. It offers a novel perspective by examining both face-to-face and virtual contact as methods of combating Islamophobia, areas that have been underexplored in existing literature. The integration of Bayesian techniques allows for more accurate, dynamic insights into the effectiveness of these interventions, providing a flexible model that can be adapted to other areas of social prejudice reduction.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze how the interfaith community Jakatarub (Jaringan Kerja Antarumat Beragama) constructs a narrative of religious tolerance through mediatization strategies on the Instagram platform, as well as how audiences respond to these narratives. This research is significant given the shift of interfaith dialogue traditions from physical spaces to digital spaces, which opens new opportunities while also presenting challenges for strengthening social cohesion in Indonesia. Methodology: Using a qualitative approach with the netnography method, this study focuses on the Instagram account @jakatarub_bdg by examining 128 Feed and Reels posts published between January and December 2024, along with audience comments analyzed using Kozinets’ Cyber Media Analysis (CMA) framework. Findings: The findings reveal that the constructed tolerance narrative encompasses three main themes: interfaith dialogue (41%), social harmony (38%), and religious tolerance (21%). The mediatization strategies applied include media as conduits, media as language, and media as environment, which synergistically expand the reach of messages and create participatory spaces for audiences. Audience responses were predominantly positive and reflective, although some critical feedback sparked deeper discussions on the realities of tolerance at the local level. Research Implications: The implications of this study affirm the potential of social media as an effective medium for promoting interfaith dialogue, while highlighting the need for content moderation policies and adaptive communication strategies to anticipate risks of polarization and the reproduction of stereotypes. Originality/Value: The originality of this research lies in its integration of Hjarvard’s and Meyrowitz’s mediatization theory with a netnographic approach to a grassroots interfaith community in Indonesia—a focus that has been rarely explored in previous studies.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines audience reception of interfaith dialogue on the YouTube channel Jeda Nulis, particularly the “Indonesia Rumah Bersama” series, to analyze how digital narratives promote religious pluralism and social cohesion in Indonesia. Methodology: The research employed a qualitative digital netnography to collect and analyze hundreds of publicly available comments on selected videos, which were then interpreted through Stuart Hall’s encoding/decoding framework. Findings: The findings reveal that the majority of comments reflected dominant-hegemonic readings that fully accepted the tolerant, reflective, and inclusive messages conveyed in the dialogues. A smaller portion of comments demonstrated negotiated readings, where audiences partly agreed with the messages but adapted them to personal beliefs or cultural traditions, while only a marginal minority expressed oppositional readings that rejected the messages on ideological grounds. These reception patterns indicate that humanistic and narrative-driven communication reduces ideological resistance and fosters more open interfaith engagement in digital spaces. Research Implications: Practically, the findings provide insights for content creators, faith-based organizations, NGOs, and government agencies to design more inclusive digital communication strategies that cultivate intergroup trust. Theoretically, this study advances an audience-centered perspective in religious communication by mapping interpretive positions toward interfaith dialogue in live social media interactions. Originality/Value: Unlike much Indonesian scholarship that predominantly emphasizes discourse production and elite messaging, this article highlights the role of audience reception by integrating digital netnography with Hall’s model to explore how digital publics interpret interfaith narratives.

Abstract

This study embarks on an analytical journey through the theological perspectives of Nikos Kazantzakis, underpinned by the concept of God's mutability and its roots in ancient and Byzantine Greek theology. Focusing on Kazantzakis's pivotal works such as "The Last Temptation of Christ" and "Report to Greco," the research employs a literary and historical approach to unravel the synthesis of Christian Orthodoxy, neo-Platonic philosophy, and modern evolutionary thought. The influence of Alfred North Whitehead's process theology and Henri Bergson's evolutionary vitalism on Kazantzakis's conception of a dynamic, evolving God is explored, challenging traditional doctrines of divine immutability. The study also delves into Platonic thought's impact on Kazantzakis, examining the dialectic of being and becoming, and the reinterpretation of classical concepts like stasis and kinesis in a Christian theological context. Additionally, it scrutinizes the compatibility of Kazantzakis’s views with Orthodox Christian theology, particularly in the light of contributions from figures such as Origen and the Cappadocian Fathers. The findings reveal a complex interplay between Greek philosophical heritage and Christian theology in Kazantzakis's work, offering a unique perspective on the nature of God and the compatibility of faith with evolving scientific understanding. This research contributes to the ongoing dialogue between religion and philosophy, highlighting the relevance of ancient wisdom in contemporary theological discourse and underscoring the transformative potential of theological thought in the modern era.
Orthodox Response to Christian Universalism: The Theological Perspective of Pavel Florensky Lazăr, Alexandru

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

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

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.
