Abstract

Psalm 127 emphasizes the importance of man depending on God in all aspects of life. While most researchers, including Subagyo H, identify “Family” as the main theme, this article offers a different interpretation. This study reveals the content of the theme “Synergy between God's Sovereignty and Human Effort” as the core of Psalm 127. Using a qualitative approach, the study analyzes the structure and language patterns of the text, applying Robert Lowth's concept of parallelism to identify relationships between lines. It also considers the historical and cultural context in which the Psalm was written, as well as its impact on the choice of language and structure of the poem. The results are first, verse 1 through synonymous parallelism affirms the recognition of God's intervention without negating human effort; second, the antithetical parallelism in verse 2 shows the relationship between human effort and the time or circumstance that triggers God's blessing; third, the synthesizing parallelism in verses 3-5 illustrates God's trust in man's duty in educating children in youth. The understanding of the synergy between God's sovereignty and human effort revealed through this analysis provides a new perspective in interpreting Psalm 127.

Abstract

Main issue discussed in this study is the tension between the Gospel and culture in the context of contemporary Christian missions. Often, efforts to proclaim the Gospel are seen as conflicting with local cultural values, creating a dilemma between syncretism and orthodoxy. The aim of this research is to offer an alternative understanding that bridges this tension through an incarnational concept, and to explore how the Gospel and culture can mutually interpolate without losing their respective essences. The methods used are literature review and theological-missional analysis, focusing on the incarnational understanding as an approach in Christian missions. This study explores various theological and missiological perspectives to formulate a alternative understanding of the relationship between the Gospel and culture. The findings show that an incarnational approach allows for dynamic dialogue and interaction between the Gospel and culture. The Gospel can become a renewing agent that purifies the positive aspects of culture, while culture provides a contextual "language" for understanding and experiencing the Gospel. This process is not mere syncretism, but a creative effort to translate the Gospel message into local cultural categories without losing its integrity. In conclusion, the concept of the “Gospel in the Womb of Culture” offers a new paradigm in contemporary Christian missions. The incarnational approach opens the way for the creation of authentic expressions of faith, rooted in the Christian tradition but also relevant to the local cultural context. This implies the need for a shift from a confrontational approach to one that appreciates local wisdom while remaining faithful to the essence of the Gospel.

Abstract

Colossians 2:16-23 is often used as a reference to identify heresies in Colossae. This identification was later assessed as part of Paul's strategy so that the Colossian church could finally face the heresy. So, is the problem of heresy the only problem in the congregation? Unfortunately, a number of interpreters tend to pay less attention to the other social issue. This article wants to show that the idea of the unity of the church, as a body, and Christ, as its head, in this text (v. 19) also indicates the existence of social segregation that was hitting the Colossian church. To prove the above hypothesis, the authors conducted qualitative research with data collection through literature studies. The hermeneutic theory used to interpret the Colossians is Social Scientific Criticism. As a result, it appears that the "group" traditions that were so prominent and strong in Mediterranean society at that time were proven to have resulted in social segregation. That is why v. 19 eventually emerged and became part of the strategy to deal with the problems at Colossae, including the social segregation.

Abstract

The phenomenon of virtual beggars on Tiktok has sparked debates in society, particularly regarding ethics, moral values, and digital literacy. This study examines the phenomenon from the perspectives of Christian Ethics, character education, and digital literacy. Using qualitative methods, a phenomenological approach, and literature review, the research explores how virtual beggars employ emotional narratives to attract viewers' attention and donations. Within Christian Ethics, such actions raise moral dilemmas as they may exploit empathy dishonestly. Simultaneously, character education is crucial in equipping young generations with strong moral values to critically evaluate actions. Digital literacy also plays a significant role in helping society recognize manipulative content and make informed decisions in digital interactions. This study underscores the need for a holistic approach that integrates ethics, character education, and digital literacy to address the negative impacts of this phenomenon while fostering a more empathetic, responsible, and ethical society in the digital era.

Abstract

The Mangalap Tondi ritual is a traditional practice in Batak Toba culture that aims to recall a person’s soul (tondi) believed to be lost or weakened. This study seeks to analyze the ritual from a Christian faith perspective, employing a qualitative approach through theological, anthropological, and cultural literature review. As the majority of Batak people are now Christians, a tension has emerged between ancestral beliefs and Christian teachings. The findings reveal a complex dynamic between the Mangalap Tondi tradition and Christian faith, particularly concerning the concepts of spirit, the power of God, and salvation. This study highlights the importance of a contextual approach in engaging with local cultural practices without compromising the integrity of Christian faith. The findings are expected to contribute to the development of contextual theology within modern Batak society.

Abstract

In the book of Proverbs, the word "'ĕ-mū-nāh" appears only twice, namely Proverbs 12:17 and Proverbs 12:22. Interestingly, the word "'ĕ-mū-nāh" in this text is interpreted by scholars with different meanings, with Waltke translating it as "honesty," Fox seeing it as "commitment," Longman, interprets it as "loyalty," Ross sees it as "social justice," and Clifford translates it as "righteousness." The question becomes, what is the true meaning of this word? In its development, the meaning of this word is often translated generally based on the context of the verse, without paying attention to the specific elements of wisdom literature structure. Therefore, this study aims to examine the meaning of the word "'ĕ-mū-nāh" which actually refers to repetition or levels of character change. Based on the hermeneutic study method of the sub-genre of wisdom literature, this study found several meanings of the word "'ĕ-mū-nāh", namely: first, honesty; second, loyalty; and third, integrity. The implementation of this research is for every believer to repetition good character changes, starting from honesty to loyalty, from loyalty to integrity based on moral ethics according to the truth of God's Word.

Abstract

In the modern era, the Lutheran tradition has recognized the need to enrich its theology to remain relevant to contemporary developments, one of which is through the exploration of pneumatological thought. As part of this tradition, GKPI also faces similar challenges. The enrichment of pneumatological theology in GKPI can be pursued by enhancing the comprehensiveness of its dogma or improving the effectiveness of its communication to the congregation. This study aims to understand the position of GKPI’s pneumatological thought in relation to these two aspects. Using a qualitative method, the study found that GKPI possesses a comprehensive pneumatological dogma. However, a gap exists between the dogma and the liturgy in use, indicating an ineffective communication pattern. This gap constitutes a crucial point for the enrichment of GKPI’s pneumatological theology.

Abstract

Nowadays, Indonesia is experiencing a huge corruption phenomenon. This condition can be seen from various corruption cases that ensnare various circles in Indonesia. Corrupt perpetrators are not only workers who are squeezed by needs, but also economically well-established groups. Faced with this situation, it is important to find the root of the corruption problem that can raise public awareness. The public must be aware that corruption is very much eating away at the lives of the Indonesian people who are still trapped in poverty and enormous economic inequality. One of the thinkers who gave an overview of the phenomenon of corruption in Indonesia was Karl Marx. This paper aims to explore the relevance of Karl Marx's theory of alienation in analyzing the root causes of corruption in Indonesia. The research method used in this study is a qualitative approach with a literature study on Karl Marx's thoughts, especially Karl Marx's theory of Alienation. The results of this study show that the capitalist economic system that focuses on the pursuit of profit as much as possible contributes as much as possible as the cause of corruption in Indonesia. The capitalist economic system creates alienation from one's work and self. The power of money will give rise to greedy human character. In other words, Corruption based on Karl Marx's thought arose because of the capitalist economic system that was uncontrollable and created greedy human beings.
