<![CDATA[This article is motivated by the anxiety to see how Reformed tradition seems less relevant or even irrelevant in Gereja Kristen Sumatera Bagian Selatan (GKSBS). This article thesis is a Reformed tradition, which is relevant to GKSBS, as it is placed in a “critical-appreciative dialogue with nglari and mandiri culture” and “in an authority dialogue with Holy Scripture”. To support the thesis, the writer “describe factual encounter” and “imagine critical appreciative dialogue” between Reformed tradition and Gereja Kristen Sumatera Bagian Selatan (GKSBS) nglari and mandiri culture, and then place them in authority dialogue with Holy Scripture. The results have found that there are meeting points and complementary potency between a boarder Reformed tradition and nglari culture eventhough the nglari culture defeats some Gereformeerd tradition aspects. The writer also found in many aspects, not only in Gereformeerd tradition, that affirms with mandiri culture each other, but also in a broader Reformed tradition which is able to critize the culture each other. However, both Reformed tradition and GKSBS culture still need to be reformed according to the Holy Scripture.]]>

<![CDATA[Even though Indonesia has entered the Post-Soeharto Era for almost a quarter of a century, authoritarianism still needs to be watched out for. The style and behavior of authoritarianism in any part of the world is common to shed blood rather than build peace. This study aims to reveal Jesus' rejection of authoritarianism in government. Since Indonesia's independence, authoritarianism has occurred during the New Order. For 32 years, this government suppressed the development of democracy which also had an impact on the economic, education, health and religious fields. In this study, the authors found that excessive vigilance and fear of the presence of a Zealot-style theocracy model of government through the issue of the Islamic state and Islamic society has led to absolute loyalty and partiality without reserve from the Church towards the Government. The author argues that the church, as a spiritual institution, has been “politicized”, besides the church has lost its critical and corrective functions.]]>

<![CDATA[Pengenalan akan Allah memengaruhi seseorang hidup di dalam penyembahannya. Israel yang menyembah anak lembu emas, sebelumnya hidup di dalam kemegahan yang fana dengan memakai perhiasan-perhiasan (Kel. 33:6). Bagaimana seharusnya kita hidup merefleksikan pengenalan akan Allah yang melewatkan kegemilangan-Nya kepada Musa? Disinilah kita mengerti apa artinya kebaikan TUHAN. Kebaikan yang bukan bersifat menetap melainkan yang lewat/transient/ passing. Kemuliaan TUHAN yang adalah kebaikan harus bersifat transient di dunia yang fana ini, jika tidak kemuliaan tersebut akan menghanguskan seluruh ciptaan ini. Demikianlah kebaikan yang orang Kristen hidupi di dunia ini. Impresi pada orang yang menerima kebaikan pun harus bersifat transient. Di dalam melakukan kebaikan yang transient inilah, kita mengikuti jejak kebaikan Tuhan yang telah dinyatakan kepada kita. Semoga di tengah pandemi yang kita harapkan berlalu, nafas kehidupan kita yang transient boleh menjadi passing goodness bagi orang lain. Kehidupan Yesus di dunia ini begitu cepat berlalu, hanya tiga puluh tiga dan setengah tahun dilaluinya. Namun Yesus meninggalkan kalimat terakhir yang menguatkan para murid dan kita di percakapan terakhir-Nya: Ego Vici Mundum/ Aku telah mengalahkan dunia (Yoh 16:33).]]>

<![CDATA[This paper’s aims to show that the ecumenical spirit in Eucharist is right, based on the Bible, church’s doctrine of Reformed tradition and Eastern Orthodox tradition. By conducting a literature study to compare the thoughts of two theologians from the two traditions, namely Michael Welker and Alexander Schmemann, this study has found that the Holy Communion unified the vertical dimension and the horizontal dimension which makes God’s people from all ages and places united as a holy and universal church, and with the presence of Christ in every Holy Communion.]]>

<![CDATA[The Christian Trinity is a diversified form of monotheistic faith, since the apostolic faith is rooted in the Old Testament confession, to which Jesus adhered: “the Lord our God, the Lord is one”. Christianity never renounced monotheism, but build on that basis. Recently theologians (including Jürgen Moltmann) have been critical of Christian monotheism which has overshadowed trinitarianism from Thomas Aquinas onwards. It means that today many Christian believers are practical monotheists and the Trinity has little place in spirituality. But this is not the main challenge to Christian monotheism in the global world context of today]]>

<![CDATA[Joseph Bingham (1668−1723) was one of the defenders of Reformed Orthodoxy in the Church of England. In his time, he was known as a patristic scholar whose magnum opus, titled Origines Ecclesiasticae, or The Antiquities of the Christian Church, stood as a testimony of his superb studies. This massive work of ten volumes was published between 1708 and 1722. Entangled in a Trinitarian controversy at Oxford University in his younger years, he spent the rest of his life proofing his orthodoxy through his patristic studies and publication. This article focuses on Bingham’s use of the writings of the church fathers in his defense of the theological beliefs and practices of infant baptism in the Church of England. By defending the orthodoxy of the Church of England—by way of its alignment with the church fathers—he indirectly positioned himself in the same line of orthodoxy and therefore purging himself of the tarnished reputation during the height of the Trinitarian controversy at Oxford.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper examines the relationship between apologetics and preaching in three sermons by the apostles Peter and Paul, and finds that, for the apostles, apologetics and preaching are not separate disciplines but inseparable and interdependent components of gospel ministry and the life of the church. Taking apostolic preaching as paradigmatic for ministry and Christian life today, this paper argues for a retrieval of this organic understanding, on the one hand, of apologetics that aims toward and follows the structure of gospel proclamation, and, on the other, of preaching which features vindication of the whole of counsel of God against unbelief in its various forms.]]>

<![CDATA[This article examines John Calvin’s (1509–1564) method of biblical interpretation. It first considers his approach in the context of the history of interpretation and then examines two examples of his method of interpretation of Psalm 2 and Acts 20:17–38. It will be suggested that Calvin’s approach can enrich the renewal of interest in theological interpretation in the academy and the church. Although some traits of Calvin’s interpretation resemble modern approaches, this essay confirms the shift in Calvin studies that classify his method as a type of precritical interpretation—in particular, Calvin’s concern for application, his use of the analogy of faith, and his integration of exegesis and doctrine.]]>

<![CDATA[Doing theology and constructing Christian dogmatics always rely on the good use of reason and logical and critical thinking. Analytic theology is an intellectual movement in the twenty-first century that emphasizes the significance of employing tools from analytic philosophy and modern logic in doing theology. However, analytic theology in general has not been successful in producing theological works which adhere to the rules and standards in the science of theology. This paper discusses an “analytic”-theological model from the sixteenth- and seventeenth-century tradition called Reformed scholasticism, and lists some excellent characteristics from it. By providing a historical and analytical survey of the primary and secondary sources related to Reformed scholasticism, this author demonstrates how the Reformed scholastic theological tradition that is confessional, systematic, dialogical, catholic, contextual, and educative inspires contemporary and future theologians to keep on constructing Christian dogmatics that is rational but not rationalistic, open-minded but not compromising truth, and interdisciplinary yet integrative.]]>
