Abstract

The emergence of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 has led to the disruption of various fields of life, including the field of ethics. This threat of disruption initiated the hope of the formation of Society 5.0 which is expected to produce an advanced, high-tech, prosperous and moral global society. This expectation needs to be criticized, because it seems that there is not enough ethical discussion that has been elaborated in the thinking of the Society 5.0. The Christian faith (Reformed) sees the importance of ethical aspects in society, because human life cannot be separated from ethical problems and judgments. John Frame's ethical concept which has three perspectives: normative, situational, and existential, can fill this gap for every Christians to go through Industrial Revolution 4.0 era.

Abstract

The title of this contribution is purposefully ambivalent.  It can be read as a rhetorical question: when there are so many good reasons to join the church of Rome, why should Protestants refrain from taking this step? The most important historical reason for the Reformation was the state of the church: the authority of the office, and the episcopacy were spoiled by abuse of that power. The access to Christ and his grace were blocked. To what degree is this reproach still viable? In recent years, from a Reformed and evangelical perspective, there have been many changes in that Church that have caused a rapprochement, and that have prompted many Protestants to become Roman Catholic. However, the title can also be read differently: as an argumentation against joining the Roman Catholic Church.  Accordingly, this chapter will elaborate upon both possibilities and offer a number of remarks on the choice itself.

Abstract

Christian teachers do not naturally connect theology with their professional practice. This article explores the reasons for this, which all have to do with how theory functions in teaching. Theory will mainly come into focus when practical problems arise, but theological concepts are not the first to come into view. The article states that tensions that teachers experience in practice are triggers for theological reflection. This is in coherence with the call for Christians to test and discern what is the will of God (Rom. 12:2). Teachers are supposed to be able to reflect on three dimensions where tensions can be recognized. The first is the response to general cultural ideas. The second is the call for a collective theological vision in school teams. Finally, existential tensions find solutions in theological language. Prospective Christian teachers should have training in to reflect on those three levels.

Abstract

Doubting theological science and limiting the primacy of theology has been a subject of debate among scientists and theologians for centuries. The study aims to answer scientists who doubt theology as a science and warn theologians who only recognize theology as science but do not recognize theology as ascience. To achieve this goal, researchers use content analysis methods. The results found that, on the one hand, theology is science essentially, not because of the recognition of theologians, but because of its understanding, characteristics, activities, and dimensions as a science. On the other hand, in accordance with its nature, theology is ascience because of its understanding and presupposition, position, adequacy, certainty, and superiority over science. These findings confirm that theology is indeed the queen of all science. If theology is recognized as science and ascience, scientists and theologians will realize knowledge and life that is entirely integrative.

Abstract

This article tries to further the suggestion of utilizing the concept of common grace popularized by Abraham Kuyper (1837-1920) for facing changes in hermeneutics. Hermeneutics has changed in many ways because of the influences of modernism and postmodernism. In contrast to more liberal theologians who promote those changes actively, evangelical theologians tend to response negatively or hesitantly. After describing briefly those hermeneutical changes, this article investigates Kuyper’s doctrine of common grace. As conclusion, it provides some suggestions on to what extent the concept of common grace can be utilized for reconsidering changes in hermeneutics as favourable opportunities to develop more the field of hermeneutics.
Bavinck's Theological Identity Regarding A Recent Criticism Of The Two Bavincks Hypothesis Changjun Choi

Abstract

The present article handles the recent criticism of the so-called ‘two Bavincks hypothesis’ of Jan Veenhof voiced by Bavinck scholars. Since 1968 Veenhof has introduced the two Bavincks hypothesis, this hypothesis has had significant effects on Bavinck studies in the second half of the twentieth century. Following Veenhof’s bipolar portrayal of Bavinck, several Bavinck scholars have labeled Bavinck’s theological characteristic as the two Bavincks, namely, advocating his theological identity as a figure who has unresolved duality between orthodoxy and modernity in his thought. However, numerous studies have recently attempted to amend and redress this two Bavincks hypothesis by scholars who only argue for one Bavinck rather than two Bavincks. In the light of this, the present article first examines the recent criticisms for the two Bavincks hypothesis respectively and further argues that there is one Bavinck, who is an orthodox Calvinist and at the same time a modern European man.

Abstract

In this article, the author argues on the importance of the Reformation. Despite over 500 years has passed since the reformation, the roman catholic church has not moved towards the true understanding of the gospel, in terms of justification as being declared right. Furthermore, in the author's context of American Evangelism, pelagianism seems taking over the mindset of the biblically illiterate. The preaching of the evangel that justifies the ungodly must be the call of the day.

Abstract

In this article, the author argues of the significance of Psalm singing in Calvin's Liturgy of the Lord's Supper. Metrical psalm singing is one of Calvin's contributions towards the changes in reformation worship. Furthermore, his emphasis on its use in the Liturgy of the Lord's Supper is an important retrieval from the wider diversity in many contemporary church worship. Throughout the article, the author endorses a creative use of psalm singing in the church. Such practice must not be forgotten that has been formative to the reformation in the past.

Abstract

Kebaikan Tuhan yang kita terima setiap hari sudah sepatutnya membawa kita kepada kehidupan bersyukur, termasuk di pada masa pandemi. Saat begitu sulit menimpa seluruh penduduk dunia, kebaikan tetap kita terima karena berasal dari tangan Allah yang memelihara. Pujian Yeremia di tengah-tengah ratapan menjadi satu pujian yang demikian meninggikan Tuhan. Tuhan bukan hanya bertakhta di Israel. Tuhan yang sejati juga bertakhta bersama  umatNya yang terbuang. Suatu pujian memiliki karakter kekekalan yang melintasi zaman ke zaman. Pujian yang muncul puluhan, ratusan, bahkan ribuan tahun yang lampau memiliki keberlangsungan yang everlasting ketika dinyanyikan dari zaman ke zaman. Allah yang ditinggikan diatas pujian menyatakan suatu fakta bahwa dia adalah Allah yang bertakhta secara kekal dari zaman ke zaman untuk selamanya.
