Abstract

This paper examines the challenges posed by postmodern theology to the principle of Sola Scriptura within a Reformed theological framework. Employing a qualitative literature-based approach, the study analyzes the development of postmodern epistemology and its implications for truth, authority, and biblical interpretation. The findings indicate that relativism, deconstruction, and the rejection of metanarratives constitute major challenges to Sola Scriptura, particularly regarding the authority of Scripture as absolute, final, and infallible truth. The shift from a theocentric to an anthropocentric orientation further reinforces subjective approaches to Christian faith. This paper therefore reaffirms the importance of Sola Scriptura as a theological foundation that safeguards the integrity of divine revelation in a postmodern context.

Abstract

The issue of pseudonymity is frequently raised regarding several books in the New Testament, which, if proven true, would have serious implications for the concept of biblical inerrancy. This study aims to evaluate the function of pseudonymity in Jewish literature, its understanding in the Greco-Roman world, the early church’s assessment of pseudonymous writings, and their implications for inerrancy. The method used is library research with a descriptive qualitative approach based on literature study, combining historical and theological analysis. The results show that pseudonymity emerged with various motives across all three cultural contexts, yet its acceptance was not universal. The early church consistently rejected pseudonymous writings and ostracized their authors, in contrast to the Greco-Roman context, which in certain situations accepted them. In conclusion, integrating historical findings with the doctrine of inerrancy yields three implications: apostolicity as the normative foundation of inerrancy, the incompatibility of pseudonymity with the nature of God’s truth, and the lack of sufficient historical basis to consider the New Testament canon as containing pseudonymous documents.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the use of the term Kurios for Jesus in the New Testament as a basis for theological argumentation to prove His divinity. The term Kurios, meaning “Lord,” has a significant background in the Septuagint tradition, where it was used to translate the name of God (YHWH) in the Old Testament. This study employed a qualitative, exegetical approach, encompassing contextual, grammatical, lexical, historical, and theological analyses of crucial texts. The results show that the use of the term Kurios is not only honorific but also an explicit recognition of Jesus divinity within the context of the early church's faith. Thus, the term Kurios provides a strong biblical foundation for the doctrine of Jesus' divinity in Christian theology.

Abstract

This study critically analyzes the dialectical encounter between Jacques Derrida’s Deconstruction of the Biblical Logosentrisme and Herman Bavinck’s Internal Witness of the Holy Spirit (ITHS) as the decisive epistemological solution. Derrida’s critique, centered on différance (the deferral of linguistic meaning), exposes the text’s vulnerability at the level of human language, consequently fostering skepticism and hermeneutical relativism in the postmodern era. Utilizing a qualitative, dogmatic-philosophical method, this research argues that while Derrida's analysis accurately reflects the limitations of fallen human reason, it is ultimately rendered irrelevant to the believer. ITHS functions as a supranatural act of illumination, strategically shifting the anchor of certainty from the vulnerable object (the text) to the sovereign action of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit effectively bridges the différance gap, implanting an autoptistic and certain conviction regarding the Logos's authority. This synthesis supports presuppositional apologetics, establishing ITHS as the primary warrant that safeguards the Biblical Logos as the final and binding truth against contemporary relativism.
