Abstract

The aims of this paper are to analyze the Betangkant Children’s culture of the Dayak Keninjal tribe in an effort to contextualize God’s love. The study of the meaning and cultural aspects of raising children to apply the Gospels, or good news, in the context of the life of the Dayak Keninjal community. This research uses a literature review. The results of this study are as follows: Through the Betangkant Children’s culture of the Dayak Keninjal tribe, the village of Madyaraya will provide a meaningful context and an entry point for Dayak Keninjal to encounter Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior within the Keninjal tribe, thereby representing the relationship between the Father and the believers. Trusting children can make it easier to communicate God’s relationship with His people, like the relationship between a father and a child who has been raised in a culture of tension. The affirmation of the relationship between the Father and His children has been manifested in the love of God the Father through the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ, which redeems and elevates believers into His beloved children.

Abstract

This paper examines how the concept of the image of the invisible God was understood in Jewish and Greco-Roman traditions. It explores Jewish theological ideas rooted in Hebrew Scriptures and later Jewish writings, which emphasize a transcendent yet immanent God. In contrast, Greco-Roman thought, shaped by Platonic and Stoic philosophies, conceptualized the divine through reason, logos, and cosmic order, often expressed through anthropomorphic deities or philosophical ideals. The study highlights how these differing views intersected, particularly during the Second Temple period, influencing early Christian theology—especially the idea of Jesus as the visible expression of the invisible God. By analyzing religious texts and philosophical works, the paper sheds light on ancient understandings of divinity and their lasting impact on conceptions of the divine-human relationship. By analyzing these diverse perspectives, the paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how the image of the invisible God was perceived and represented across different cultures and epochs. This exploration not only enriches our knowledge of ancient religious thought but also offers insights into the enduring questions about the nature of divinity and humanity’s relationship to the divine.

Abstract

Shackling is still often used as a solution to address issues affecting people with mental disorders (PMD) in Sikka Regency. This study aims to discuss and explain the reality of shackling of PMD in Sikka Regency as a practice of ‘culture of throwing away’ based on the principles outlined in the Encyclical Fratelli Tutti. This research uses a mixed method. The research result shows that people with mental disorders (PMD) are one of the groups that are vulnerable to becoming victims of the culture of throwing away. The manifestation of the culture of throwing away towards the PMD can be seen in the act of shackling. The Encyclical Fratelli Tutti emphatically emphasizes the inherent dignity of every individual and demands full respect for the dignity of all people, including the most vulnerable. According to the Encyclical Fratelli Tutti, the shackling of PMD constitutes an act of violence that tarnishes the sanctity of life and violates human rights. It also manifests egoism and individualism. The shackling of PMD also leads to the breakdown of the family’s proximity relationship. The solution to facing the globalization of indifference, according to Pope Francis, is repentance by living a culture of solidarity, like the example of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37). Thus, the practice of shackling  PMD in Sikka Regency reflects the ‘culture of throwing away’ criticized by the Encyclical Fratelli Tutti, which emphasizes the importance of respect for human dignity.

Abstract

This article explores how institutionalism in the church creates a generation gap, consolidates power, and suppresses the creativity and active participation of church members. Church institutionalism is understood as a framework that influences every church practice not limited to the notion of church as an institution or organization. Whether we realize it or not, the church model that is increasingly reinforced by institutional patterns has a significant impact on the participatory inequality of each church member. when the discourse or let’s say the line of church authority is dominated by one party for example by the elders or even by the youth, then what happens is discrimination and the strengthening of exclusivism in the communion together. therefore, an intergenerational approach is proposed to bridge institutionalism and communalism, emphasizing the importance of equal, participatory, and critical communication. This article emphasizes that by critically reflecting on the intergenerational approach and Jürgen Habermas’s theory of communication, churches can strengthen intergenerational relations and create a more inclusive and emancipatory environment. By examining the phenomenon of church institutionalism, intergenerational theory and Habermas’s communication theory, the discourse between these perspectives can be further explored. This discussion is expected to generate momentum for the creation of a more equitable and participatory communication model that bridges the emerging generational gap within the church community.

Abstract

This article aims to explore the meaning of costly grace according to Dietrich Bonhoeffer and why it still matters for believers today in Indonesia. Throughout his exploration and interpretation, Bonhoeffer has written extensively about what he thought to be a costly grace to fight against cheap grace. Costly grace is also an idea that has been discussed by various theologians. Many have debated what it truly means from different perspectives. So, the question is, what does costly grace mean for Christians today? Bonhoeffer’s concept of costly grace has led theologians around the world to rethink what it means to have faith, precisely because Bonhoeffer’s version of faith itself is a costly one. Faith is also something that’s considered a great commitment that all Christians must have. Faith and grace themselves should not be cheap, and they should be costly. Bonhoeffer’s concept of costly grace is also worth considering in today’s world. This article finds that costly grace is needed for Christians today.
