Abstract

The author discusses three directions in which Christianity can be rethought: exclusivist, inclusivist and pluralist. While the inclusivist view is better than the exclusivist view, both views do not rethink Christianity in a way that it becomes suitable for a new age, i.e. globalization, in which we all have to deal with people from different faiths. Christianity is seen as superior in both the exclusivist and the inclusivist view. Whereas in the pluralist view Christianity is seen as one among many religions, which make a genuine dialogue possible.

Abstract

The crisis of nationalism is one of many social problems faced by Indonesian people today. From the theoretical perspective, the sign of the crisis can be seen in the absence of significant political movement and public will to achieve the ideal of the nation, as it is written in the Indonesian constitution. This paper suggests that the crisis can be overcome if a strong social identity can be constructed based on meaningful collective memory. The analysis is based on the concept of nationalism of Ernst Gellner and Wayne Norman, connected to the thoughts of Maurice Halbwachs. The discussion will end up with its application in Indonesian context.

Abstract

Intercultural encounter  is something inevitable and crucial today. Its significance for religions depends on how religions conceive of intercultural translatability  and the meaning of ‘the other’. Concerning the former, there are three possibilities : different cultures can be seen as radically untranslatable, mutually translatable in terms of universal economic medium, or  mutually translatable in terms of  universal doctrinal message. Each brings its own consequences.  Concerning the latter, the other may be viewed  as the outer-other or the inner-other of which both require some kind of self-relativization on the part of religion. If  Christianity is consistent with its ‘logic of love’, it would be governed by heteronomous reason in which the self lives from out of itself , whereas its dwelling place is not the privileged centre.

Abstract

Beliefs are founded upon the ultimate being as an ultimate cause or principle. Some claim that the ultimate being, God, emanates itself into many, other claims that God created the world out of nothing. Whatever one believes in, one thing is clear : the ultimate being reveals itself in a spatio-temporal world; in a heterogeneous and not in a homogeneous world. The consequence is : revelation is not only one. There are many different communities with their respective faiths. However, many are not aware of the contingency of their faith. They are trapped into absolutism and try to mold the world into the emporium of their true faith. Blinded by their isolated faith, some use any means necessary, including violence, to attain the highest ideal. The reasoning behind such attitude is the instrumental form of reasoning combined with a high dose of encapsulated faith. This article explores the relation between faith, way of life, values and what kind of reasoning is appropriate in a world of multiple faiths.

Abstract

The prophetical offices are always started with prophetic call narrative. There are several unique elements in this prophetic call narrative, which can be found in prophetic call moments of the prophets, namely the role of God’s Words, the appearance of God (theophany) in its variety, and the delegation mission task. What is interesting to analyze is the variety of God’s appearances (theophany), since the varieties depend on the context of each prophet and the delegation mission tasks given to them. This article discusses the prophetic call narrative of Jeremiah. At first sight, the calling and delegation moments of Jeremiah resembles Isaiah and Ezekiel’s, especially in God’s hands and the prophet’s mouth activity. Nevertheless, in Jeremiah’s prophetic call narrative, God’s activities have a special meaning related to his context. In Jeremiah’s case, the act of God touching his mouth and putting His words into it is the emphasis of the authenticity of God’s Words that comes out of Jeremiah’s mouth. The authenticity is needed by Jeremiah because he has to face false prophets.

Abstract

This article is an attempt to revisit the problem of history and memory  in the construction of  Indonesian violent past, notably the 1965 putsch and its aftermath. The engagement is based on the understanding that history , as a product of scientific discipline, is mainly seeing the past prospectively, while the memory of people, particularly those who are affected by the traumatic event, is seeing it retrospectively. In these two tendencies, generally the standard account champions the historian version, by sacrificing the ordinary people’s account. Contrary to this, by taking Bakhtinian dialogical reading of history, the article gives an ample space to the many-voicedness of historical account , to the complexity of historical struggle, and to seeing the dynamic of the past beyond the stereotypes of “victim” vs.”perpetrator”
