Abstract

This study examines the role conflict experienced by pastors in balancing pastoral ministry and family responsibilities. As spiritual leaders, pastors face significant expectations from the congregation while also being responsible for maintaining harmony within their families. The imbalance between these roles often leads to mental health challenges, weakened family relationships, and reduced effectiveness in ministry. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this study analyzes the theological and ethical foundations of pastoral leadership and family obligations through a literature review. The findings highlight that role conflict in pastoral ministry stems from excessive workload, unrealistic expectations, and lack of clear boundaries between church and family life. To achieve an ideal balance, pastors must adopt ministry-family integration, time management, and transparent communication. Additionally, prioritizing both ministry and family as a form of devotion to God ensures a holistic and sustainable pastoral service. The study concludes that achieving balance is essential for pastoral effectiveness and family well-being, requiring intentional strategies to prevent burnout and relational discord.

Abstract

This study examines Genesis 18:16-33, focusing on the conversation between God and Abraham regarding the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The study aims to explore how this narrative teaches about divine justice, mercy, and the relational nature of God. Using a qualitative and exegetical approach, the study analyzes the text in its historical and literary context, incorporating secondary theological sources. The finding of this study is that conversation is a paedagogical moment that becomes a foundation for humans to speak up, advocating for justice.

Abstract

This article examines the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:1–17) using the Discourse-Historical Approach (DHA) as developed by Ruth Wodak. The study aims to analyze how divine authority is constructed and legitimized both linguistically and theologically within the text, while also uncovering the social and theological implications of language use in shaping the moral and spiritual order of the faith community. The research employs a qualitative method with a literature-based approach. The findings reveal that the Ten Commandments function not merely as ethical imperatives but also as a discursive instrument for constructing social structures, legitimizing divine authority, and forming the collective identity of the people of Israel. Analysis of topical structure, discursive strategies, and linguistic features within the text confirms the role of language as a vehicle for establishing norms, authority, and the social world of believers. These insights contribute a new dimension to biblical theological studies through the lens of critical linguistic analysis.

Abstract

Indonesia, as a plural society, often faces tensions among religious communities, challenging the church to offer a constructive paradigm of interfaith relations. This study aims to interpret the concept of perichoresis of the Triune God as a relational model for the church in engaging with other religions in the Indonesian context. The method employed is a literature-based study with a constructive theological approach, integrating classical and contemporary sources (Thomas Aquinas, Jürgen Moltmann, Joas Adiprasetya, and others) that discuss perichoresis and relational theology. Through this exploration, the study formulates three pillars of interfaith praxis—equality, openness, and cooperation—derived from the principle of perichoresis. The findings show that (1) perichoresis provides a relational framework that affirms religious identity without subordination; and (2) the paradigm of perichoresis offers an alternative to pluralist or inclusivist models by affirming both unity and difference. Thus, the study concludes that Trinitarian theology, when read through the lens of perichoresis, can contribute concretely to interreligious relations in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study explores the theological meaning of baptism in the Gospel of John through a dialogue with the Martutu Aek ritual within the Batak Toba community. The Batak tradition concerning water in Martutu Aek provides insights that enrich the understanding of baptism, particularly in the Johannine context, and supports the development of a contextual theology relevant to the Batak people. Employing a qualitative and interdisciplinary approach that integrates biblical theology, contextual theology, and cultural anthropology, the study analyzes key texts from John 3 and 4 and interprets the symbolism of Martutu Aek ethnographically. The aim is to uncover both the resonances and theological tensions between the two. The findings indicate that, while both emphasize purification, identity formation, and communal integration through water, the concept of “living water” in the Gospel of John offers a new theological horizon for Martutu Aek, whereas Martutu Aek enriches the understanding of baptism in relational and cultural dimensions. This dialogue contributes to the formation of an initiation theology that is more grounded, relevant, and incarnational for the Batak church.

Abstract

This study examines the profound role of bodily movement and choreography in Christian worship, advocating for its reintegration as an essential liturgical dimension, inspired by the Davidic model. It introduces "Kinetic Theology" as a new theological framework systematically affirming the intrinsic spiritual significance of the body in worship, and "Spiritual Choreography" as its practical manifestation. By analyzing biblical precedents, tracing historical shifts, and addressing contemporary challenges, this study challenges traditional mind-body dualism in worship, proposing that intentional movement can serve as a powerful prophetic and restorative form of praise, fostering a more holistic and deeply engaged liturgical experience.

Abstract

Technological developments, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), are transforming human life, including in the context of the church. This article examines the relevance and identity of the church in the AI era using a biblically based theological approach, specifically the human cultural mandate (imago Dei) and the warning against human pride (the Tower of Babel). This research uses qualitative methods through literature study and biblical analysis. The results show that AI can expand mission reach, increase efficiency, and personalize ministry, but also raise theological and ethical challenges, such as dehumanization, algorithmic bias, and the risk of degradation of personal relationships. The essence of the church as a relational community living in the love of Christ, as well as the sacraments and the role of the pastor, remain irreplaceable. This article provides a new reflective-theological framework for understanding AI as a strategic opportunity without obscuring the essence of the church, thus contributing to the development of digital ecclesiology discourse in the context of contemporary theology.
