Abstract

This research aims to explore the image the concept of God in the context of human life immersed in the vortex of hedonism. The research will combine the approaches from philosophy and theology to uncover the secrets of the grandeur of God's image and how a deeper understanding of His presence can bring salvation and happiness to human life. The study will examine the values and essence of the lifestyle of Jesus Christ, which can serve as the center of spirituality for Christians, using qualitative research methods and a phenomenological perspective to understand the subjectivity of the human beings involved.The research presents the concepts of wisdom contained within the genuine concept of human beings as the image and likeness of God and how these concepts can be applied in the lives of people faced with temptation and greed.It is hoped that the results of this research will make a significant contribution to our understanding of the spirituality of Jesus Christ and lead us to a more accurate and proper understanding of the essence of life. Furthermore, it is expected that this research will provide inspiration and guidance for readers to achieve righteousness, wisdom, and greatness in their lives by fully referring to the divinity of Jesus.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to examine marriage by capture from the perspective of Christian marriage so that, in the end, the church, government, and all levels of society can determine the correct attitude towards catch marriage. This paper uses a qualitative method with data collection techniques using observation, interviews, and documentation studies. Sampling used purposive sampling and snowball sampling. Capture marriage, one of the marriage methods in Sumba, East Nusa Tenggara, is a tradition of kidnapping women to make her a bride. This has been practiced by noble descendants for prestige purposes since the era of kingdom rule in Sumba. The results obtained show that marriage by capture has experienced a shift in meaning, where it was once done for prestige and by mutual consent, but now it is an act of violence and crime that is very detrimental and even demeaning to women. In the perspective of Christian marriage, the capture of marriage is an act that opposes the Word of God because marriage should be based on love. The government, churches, non-governmental organizations, traditional leaders, and community leaders have expressed their rejection of marriage by capture. Evidence of this rejection is the existence of policies or regulations and a number of other programs to overcome and eliminate capture marriage. However, so far, the government, churches, non-governmental organizations, traditional leaders, and community leaders have not really implemented every existing regulation.

Abstract

Religion and violence have long been linked. In Christianity, the presence of violent texts in the Bible, especially in the Old Testament, further exacerbates this situation. The Old Testament texts include three types of violence: human violence against humans, violence perpetrated by God, and human appeals to God for violence. This legacy of biblical violence creates theological and ethical challenges for those who seek spiritual and ethical guidance from the Bible. This paper aims to examine the responses or views of the faithful, who have no formal education in the Bible, towards violent texts in the Old Testament. The research method used is qualitative, with a field study and a literature study approach. Interviews were conducted with informants to explore their understanding of the biblical texts of violence, and the findings will be confronted with expert explanations through a literature study. The resource persons in this study are parishioners of St. Agata-Parish of Maria Assumpta Pakem, Yogyakarta, with various educational backgrounds. The results of this study attempt to present theological and ethical ways of understanding violent texts so that the faithful can gain a more balanced and contextual understanding of these texts. By exploring people's understanding of violent texts in the Old Testament, this research contributes to understanding the complexities and challenges faced by the faithful in reading and understanding the Bible.

Abstract

This paper is a qualitative study that describes the phenomenon of religious moderation in the Getasan District, Semarang Regency, Central Java Province. Many mass media highlight the high tolerance in the Getasan area, which makes it interesting to investigate it deeper related to religious management in the community. By using the analysis of Miles and Huberman and mixing it with the perspective of Citizenship Pluralism, the results showed that Christian religious leaders taught church members about three things, including doctrinal teaching that educated the law of love as their foundation, contextualization by mixing and matching culture in the development of faith and social devotion in terms of religiosity in society. From the perspective of civic pluralism, Christian religious leaders carried out recognition, representation, and redistribution as a way of teaching religious moderation in society, which aims to create social harmony in society. A good understanding of religious moderation, by linking religious texts and religious contexts, then internalizing it into their daily lives, makes church members have an important role in creating harmony in the community in Getasan District, Semarang Regency.

Abstract

Leviticus 13:1-8 presents God’s instruction to his people, Israel, on how to combat the health pandemic. The hermeneutical propagations will help the priests and church leaders fight the virus, especially among priests in Nsukka, Enugu State. According to this text, the priest is to act as a health instructor in a situation of overwhelming health challenges. It describes health challenges and the role of the priest in overcoming them. Therefore, this text can serve as a model for combating contagious diseases like Covid-19. It is on record that the emergency of the Corona virus pandemic overwhelmed the health workers. This opened a gap, which necessitated that other people, like the priests, could come in and fill it. A rhetorical-exegetical method of biblical interpretation was used. Again, observations and interviews sufficed to ascertain the extent to which the priest helped enforce precautionary measures for Covid-19 as advanced by the World Health Organization and the National Center for Disease Control. It was discovered that the priests and other ordained men of God in Nsukka, Enugu State, are not totally committed to the extra services of helping the health workers in their fight against Covid-19. This is because it does not reflect on their sermon. Also, social distancing was not observed in the churches visited, and no testing kits, not even infrared thermometers, were found in most of the churches visited. Worse still, some laity were observed entering and worshiping without a facemask and no sanction. Washing of hands with soap and use of alcohol-based hand sanitizer were noticed not to be in place in most of the remote places of worship centers that were visited. Therefore, this paper engages the priests and religious leaders within the study area to preach health protocols, provide testing materials, and establish isolation centers to assuage Covid-19 pandemic.

Abstract

The episode from the life of King David in this article served as a case study as we tried to explore the link between men and violence in contemporary society. In restating the hypothesis, we posit that men in our daily society sometimes reference Christian Biblical characters in their process of understanding their masculinity construction process and masculine traits. If this is the case, we have found that Christian men continue to hide under the shadow of emulating Biblical male characters in their navigation of this transition process and sustaining violent masculinity traits. We took cognizance of how some men move seamlessly between culture and faith as and when the transition process favors them. We used the narrative analysis method to examine this research. This article is premised on other factors, such as David being known in the community as the boy who killed a giant, as this makes it quick for people in the community and the church to remember him. This article explored the question of whether there were no better Biblical models for men to follow that could offer a wholesome insight into the construction of masculinity. While David was a man after God’s heart, he exuded violence, and his household continued to use power to abuse those within the household.
