Abstract

Worship is a respectful statement made by humans to establish a relationship with God, with all spiritual and physical aspects. In reality, the practice of worshiping the supreme reality is only practiced as a habit without meaning. This study aims to explore the relationship between the appreciation of worship in the Eucharistic celebration and Javanese cultural practices, as well as to explore the positive impact of the practice of worship in daily life. This research uses the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) method with reference to the concept of Catur Sembah in the Serat Wedhatama. IPA research explored four Catholic transmigrants in Tugumulyo OKI, South Sumatera. The results showed that the four respondents who lived the sembah were able to have a tolerant attitude, keep other people's feelings and be more tolerant.

Abstract

I have been asked to speak on the theme of the conference, Faith in Action: Theology for the Changing World, from a biblical perspective, in particular from the perspective of the Acts of the Apostles. While it is true that the book of Acts does offer a cogent theological framework for a dynamic Church and world, its preceding volume, the Gospel of Luke, cannot be ignored altogether, since both Luke and Acts form a unified whole. Therefore, for this presentation it is opportune to start with the Acts of the Apostles and then go back to the Gospel of Luke.

Abstract

Inculturation permeates the life of the Catholic Church since its conception, making it stay relevant and creative with its evangelising mission amidst a multicultural world. This paper is a study of inculturation within the discipline of biblical exegesis. After a brief explanation about the essence of inculturation, it explores some forms of popular intercultural exegesis or contextual hermeneutics which was developed in Africa. One of them is the “four-legged stool” method designed by Elizabeth Mburu. We applied Mburu’s method to interpret the image of the “good shepherd” which was used by Jesus in John’s Gospel narrative (Jn. 10:1-12), a familiar passage to most Indonesian Catholics. Mburu’s method puts the metaphor align with the theological, literary, and historical context of the local reader. In this case, the research considers the meaning of “a good shepherd” understood through the Indonesian mindset. As a result, the biblical metaphor gained extra meaning from native roots.

Abstract

How can Qohelet in the book of Ecclesiastes give us a new perspective on the modern understanding of the meaning of life? For us to answer this question, the paper attempts to investigate the concept of the word commonly translated as ‘absurd,’ ‘worthless,’ or ‘meaningless’ used by Qohelet, originally a Hebrew word הבל (hbl). In order to clarify Qohelet's perspective of life’s meaning, the paper uses a word study on הבל (hbl). The paper aims to discuss that הבל (hbl) can properly be read as a symbolic metaphor which is ‘vapor’ that can have varying degrees of meaning which include insubstantiality, transience, and foulness. By understanding Qohelet's concept of הבל (hbl) as a symbolic metaphor, the paper elucidates how to better understand the perspective of the book of Ecclesiastes on the meaning of life as it squares with Viktor Frankl’s theory of logotherapy, a leading contemporary view of life’s meaning in modern existential philosophy. Finally, the paper encourages a new examination of life's intricacies and aims to provide insights that resonate with today's meaning-seekers by tying the book of Ecclesiastes to the writings of Viktor Frankl. Each of our life journeys is unique, nevertheless, the paper provides a new perspective and suggests common values for which we all can travel forward in life to seek meaning in our daily lives.

Abstract

Mysticism was an interesting and fascinating phenomenon in medieval times. In that century, the scientific interest and views on mysticism that experienced high intensity, especially in its literature, also became a challenge from both religious and epistemological sides. This is not surprising, since visionary stories reflecting transcendental experiences associated with forms of religious spirituality could not be understood by (modern) rationality. Even today, rationalism and empiricism are popular for determining justice that materializes from development and knowledge in a measurable way. This also creates a dilemma, where the orientation of rationalism and empiricism emphasizes results rather than the relationship between humans and the Divine. The views of Christian mystics MeisterEckhart and Bonaventure provide an overview of the relationship between mysticism and social life. This article discusses the views of Dominican mystic MeisterEckhart and Franciscan mystic Bonaventure on religion, justice and women. These two Christian mystics emphasize the dimensions of human unity with God, the position of human beings, and human relations. At a time when the development of rationalism and empiricism is massive, mystical experience becomes one of the alternative views to revisit the relationship between humans that comes from unity with the Divine in the perspective of Religion, Justice and Women. This scientific work is studied using the literature method.

Abstract

Marking the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, the author wishes to present a reading of the Council as a theological event through the thoughts of Bernard Lonergan. The objective of the research is to discover how Lonergan’s insights on ways to better grasp the truth can shed light on some novelty and its implications to the reading of the Council. Making use of hermeneutics and descriptive analytics, the author argues that the Council –when read as a theological event– will show a process of dialectic, one of the eight functional specialties proposed by Lonergan. These famous functional specialties reflect the four distinct levels of consciousness in which humans operate. Dialectic, as the fourth functional specialty, is an integral part of being Church today, especially now as we are moving together in a synodal process.

Abstract

John of Damascus (JD), as one of the foremost Christian theologians of the early medieval period, played a crucial role in defending Nicene Christology against theological challenges, particularly from emerging Islamic thought. This article explores the intersection of JD’s theological contributions with the doctrinal affirmations of the First Council of Nicaea, particularly concerning the divinity of Christ, His consubstantiality with God the Father, and His eternal pre-existence. The study contrasts these affirmations with Islamic perspectives that regard Jesus (Isa) as a mere human prophet, distinct from divinity and created rather than eternally begotten. By analyzing JD’s apologetics, this article demonstrates how he sought to uphold Nicene orthodoxy amidst the rise of Islam, which presented a monotheistic framework rejecting Trinitarian theology. Furthermore, the study examines the enduring relevance of JD’s theological approach in contemporary interfaith dialogues between Christianity and Islam, particularly in addressing Christological differences. By revisiting his arguments, this article underscores the significance of historical theological discourses in shaping modern religious discussions and fostering a deeper understanding between Christian and Muslim communities.
Arius’ Christology and the Question of Redemption Schmidt, Markus

Abstract

The Ancient Church celebrated the Council of Nicaea in 325. The main reason was to address the Christology of the presbyter Arius of Alexandria (Egypt), who promoted his unorthodox ideas about Jesus of Nazareth in view of his pastoral work. His Christological teachings became widespread and influenced faithful and clerics. As a result, they threatened the apostolic faith of the Church. Arius teaches that the Son of God cannot be God in the full sense of the word. He differs from the Father because he is not eternal or co-eternal and does not have his being with the Father. The Son did not exist before his generation, but was begotten before all things. Arius, thus, emphasizes God as a monad and the source of all beings. Therefore, the soteriological question arises how Jesus Christ can be the redeemer if he is not God. Arius' Christological concept cannot answer this question because in this view, Christ, without being God, cannot work out redeeming humanity. What needs redeeming is the human sin against God. For that, one must bridge the absolute abyss between God and humanity, but a human being cannot cross that boundary between God and humanity. Only God, as God, can perform this redemption, but for Arius, Jesus Christ is not God in the full sense of the word. Because of that, the Jesus Christ of Arius' teachings cannot save humanity. As a result, the soteriological consequence of Arius' Christology is tragic: because Christ is not God, he cannot be the redeemer. He cannot bridge the abyss between God and humanity. Thus, there is no way that human beings can win reconciliation with God because Jesus Christ is not the Messiah. Humanity will remain in its sinful state.

Abstract

Our bodies tell God’s story. The Church regards the human body as sacred, intended for ultimate union with God, and anticipates it to be treated as a temple. The narrative suggests that we ought to regard our bodies with reverence and integrity, while anticipating their eventual resurrection. This appears to be a triumphalist perspective regarding the church's stance on the body. This theological conception has significantly influenced Church members in their pursuit of complete holiness throughout their lives, yet it has also resulted in serious repercussions, specifically subtle dualism and the issue of bodily imperfection. The Church's emphasis on the unity of body and soul, alongside the concept of the soul's immortality, generates a tension regarding the precedence of the soul's salvation over the body's welfare. This results in a disjunction between the ideal church and the actual church, leading to diminished attention towards non-triumphalistic groups, specifically individuals with disabilities. The corporeal form that narrates God's story is also the anthropological entity. The intersection of theology and anthropology in spirituality necessitates a discussion on both the sacramental essence of the body and the theological design for the body, culminating in the same conclusion: the body as a symbol of salvation rather than condemnation. This paper presents novel theological concepts that advocate for the marginalized, specifically individuals with disabilities. This paper aims to demonstrate that God's plan of salvation for His people, as articulated in the Nicene Creed and informed by John Paul II's theology of the body, is applicable both communally and personally, particularly concerning individuals with disabilities. In the end, we can hope a kind of inclusive theology to all people especially those with disability.
