Abstract

Imagination appears to be an inescapable aspect of the human order, one with the power to reveal meaning, grasp reality, animate feelings, and motivate people. Yet it can often go undertheorized and, thus, be undervalued.  This can be witnessed, for example, in the worship rituals of the Protestant church. Logocentrism and other various historical trajectories in this (broad) tradition have brought the church to a crisis of imagination. What an irony!—since worship is a bodily ritual that reveals the truest reality of the universe in sacramental ways. Therefore, this article attempts to revitalize and re-reveal the significance of the imagination, especially for believers in the context of Christian worship. Following the ontological theory of Trinitarian Supernaturalism as proposed by John Jefferson Davis, I explain how the imagination can become a vehicle that brings the congregation to interpret worship observances within a “holistic” ontology of reality. The implications will specifically address the practice of congregational singing as a performative activity that dominates worship rituals. With this elaboration, it is hoped that the congregation will be able to experience a sense of meaning that is holistic and authentic within its observance of worship.

Abstract

This paper discusses the image of the human body as an important existential component amid the totality of existence in its socio-communal construction. Body image is itself constructed upon one’s impressions, thoughts, feelings, and opinions about one’s own body. In light of the proliferation of beauty vlogger accounts on various social media platforms (YouTube and Instagram) demonstrating various makeup techniques for women, the author sets forth a reconstructive critique [kritik rekonstruksi] against the hustle-and-bustle of modernism that traps humanity within the assemblage of an industrialist-colonialist gaze that proclaimes makeup (facial cosmetics) to be constitutive for humanity’s self-image, particularly impacting women. The author argues that human persons are, in truth, creatures of beauty and worth in the authenticity of their self-image even without the aide of makeup, by considering the concept of ‘body image’ within the realm of psychology in addition to the theological aesthetic perspective of Hans Urs von Balthasar.

Abstract

This article discusses the importance of being a neighbor, as understood through Karol Wojtyla’s idea of “the acting person,” in the context and experience of the migrants and humanitarian volunteers on the U.S.-Mexico border. There are three parts to this article. In the first part, I discuss the reality that migrants and humanitarian volunteers face at the U.S.-Mexico border. Migrants live in a liminal and violent space at the border, and the volunteers choose to enter this space to meet the vulnerable others. In the second part, I examine an idea presented by then-Cardinal Karol Wojtyla in his book The Acting Person. In the book─published in 1969 before he became Pope John Paul II in 1978─Wojtyla addresses the importance of being a neighbor through conscious participation in actions “together with others” for the achievement of the common good. In the third part, I present a critical reflection on the connection between migrants’ context and humanitarian work experience at the U.S.-Mexico border and Wojtyla’s idea of the acting person as a neighbor. By putting the idea of a neighbor in dialogue with the context of the U.S.-Mexico border, I intend to broaden Wojtyla’s thought to address the contemporary circumstances at the border.

Abstract

Is there room for furthering a humanistic dialogue on the interplay between Christianity and atheism? Whence an opportunity for investigating the discursive, practical, and even subtle relations between the spiritualities of these ir/religious domains? In this article, I explore these imaginative possibilities following my conviction that any efforts to bridge such humanistic dialogue between Christian and atheist spiritualities are to be sustained by taking a position of paradox—namely, within a “spiritual” zone of commensurability and incommensurability that determines the conditions (and limits) for any comparative or correlative work. This thesis emerges from a consideration of André Comte-Sponville’s efforts to develop a discourse à la “spirituality without God.” Utilizing a critical approach, I frame spirituality without God as a shared discourse, that is, a discursivity under construction between a cosmic spirituality on the one hand and a dialogically humanistic perspective on the other. The direction and benefit of this tandem construction is having the room to experience a Trinitarian spirituality, a possibility and opportunity that emerges after taking into dialogical consideration the critical message that an atheistic spirituality puts toward the task of theology in the midst of so many humanitarian (in addition to ecological) crises. Such discursive correspondence is a matter of contemporary historical import, particularly in the Indonesian context marked by violence and socioreligious dysfunction.
