Abstract

The concept of the Logos in the Gospel of John has long been the subject of theological and philosophical discussions. In the era of modern science, questions have arisen about the relevance and relationship between this concept of the Logos and the development of science and human rationality. A hermeneutical approach is used to interpret the meaning of the Logos in historical and contemporary contexts. This study aims to explore the relationship between the concept of the Logos in the Gospel of John and the development of modern science, and to analyze how this understanding can bridge the gap between faith and rationality. The Logos in the Gospel of John is understood as the creative and rational principle underlying the universe, which is also manifested in Jesus Christ. There is a parallelism between the function of the Logos in creation and the role of human rationality in the development of science. The concept of the Logos offers a framework for integrating scientific progress with spiritual wisdom. This view challenges the dichotomy between science and faith, proposing that both realms an complement each other in understanding reality. The concept of the Logos in the Gospel of John has significant relevance in the era of modern science. It offers a holistic perspective that allows for the integration of scientific and spiritual understanding, encouraging a more comprehensive approach to knowledge and reality. This understanding has the potential to bridge the gap between faith and rationality, paving the way for a more constructive dialogue between religion and science.

Abstract

Human life moves forward, but no one knows for sure. Likewise, the people never realized that they would experience the events of September 28, 2018, in Central Sulawesi. These events are cases of three types of natural disasters: earthquakes, tsunamis, and liquefaction. These natural disasters caused significant suffering to them. Nevertheless, the memoirs about this incident reminded them of God’s nature and attitude as a faithful shepherd, as expressed in the faith of Psalm 23. This research aims to analyze the relevance of Psalm 23 for people after natural disasters in Central Sulawesi. This research used a qualitative method that involved data collection through observation, interviews, and a survey with a questionnaire. The researcher found that natural disasters made them suffer from fear, loss, and anxiety, but God’s providence was always evident for them to bounce back. Psalm 23 was relevant to people’s experiences after natural disasters in Central Sulawesi. That can be seen from the awareness of God’s grace, which continues to care for them. Efforts to survive, recover, and develop are concrete manifestations of God’s help for them. The common point between the Psalmist in Psalm 23 and the survivors of the Central Sulawesi natural disasters are existential experiences of God’s existence.

Abstract

Generation Z of Indonesian Christians, who are full of knowledge and technology, tend to ignore their identity as followers of Jesus. Anarchic, destructive, and immoral behavior has become a regular trend among Generation Z Christians. In order to address this problem, relevant teaching approaches and sources are needed. The approach offered is teaching-encountering-based discipleship and teaching sources through reincarnating the thoughts and spirituality of Thomas à Kempis as Devotio Moderna. The Kempis trilogy's offering, namely the opposition pairs in the fabric of today's reality, God's sovereignty, and the obedience of God's people, need to be echoed for Generation Z. This research aims to extract the spirit of Thomas à Kempis for the life of Generation Z of Indonesian Christians. The method used is historical research, the primary source of which is the book De Imitatione Christi by Thomas à Kempis. The results of the study show that Generation Z of Indonesian Christians can vitalize a realistic, pluralistic, and Activist spirituality if (i) they understand the essence and purpose of life, (ii) realizing that there is a confusion of values and culture; (iii) wise and critical in accepting new information and lifestyles; (iv) dare to speak out on sensitive issues that occur in the general public and the Church.

Abstract

Cultural elements and systems often do not match up between two cultures which use different languages, which represents one of the main problems in the domain of translation. This paper is focused on the problems in translating non-equivalent lexicon specific to the Eastern Orthodox Church. The paper presents an overview and a detailed explanation of translation procedures used in dealing with this issue. The author begins with the non-equivalent words in Serbian, as the source language, since it is the language of the community which has been for many centuries back predominantly Eastern Orthodox and thus possesses an appropriate language “apparatus”, and observes their translation equivalents in English, as the target language. The research will show that the choice of the translation procedures is often not exclusively a matter of language. The good translator must not only have a good knowledge of the target language, but also must be familiar with the specific features of the religion and culture of the given society and the source language. Besides, we will point out that the target audience is also an important factor that must be observed in the process of translation.

Abstract

Ongoing theological discussions persist within evangelical Christian theological circles regarding the question of whether the future is predetermined by God or not. Classical theists assert that God has unequivocally predetermined the future. In this particular arrangement, although the future may be unknown to humans, it already exists and is known by God. According to Classical theists, all moments in time, including the future, exist simultaneously before God. On the other hand, there are Open theists who explicitly reject this deterministic perspective. Open theists believe that the future is yet undetermined and is still in the process of becoming. This article sought to achieve two interconnected theological manoeuvres. Firstly, it aimed to broaden the discussions regarding the nature of the future inside African religious discourse. Secondly, the article aimed to justify the belief that the future is unknown to both God and mankind based on African religious reflection. This task was conducted using analytic theology as a research method. The conclusion drawn is that in African religious thought, the future is perceived as non-existent at present. The article contributes to the field of multicultural theology.
