Abstract

Purpose: This study explores the role of cybertheology in addressing the ethical and societal challenges posed by Artificial Superintelligence (ASI), which has the potential to surpass human cognitive capabilities, heralding a profound cultural and existential crisis. It integrates theological anthropology to assess the implications of a posthuman future. Methodology: Utilising a comprehensive literature review, the research examines technological, philosophical, and theological perspectives through primary and secondary sources, including influential works by futurists and ethicists. The methodology aims to uncover the nuanced discourse surrounding the development of ASI and its potential impacts. Findings: The analysis reveals a narrative marked by speculative optimism and significant existential concerns regarding ASI. A critical gap in the existing ethical discourse is identified, highlighting the necessity for a grounded ethical framework that addresses the profound implications of superintelligent entities on human dignity and societal norms. Research Implications: The findings emphasise the urgent need to incorporate robust ethical considerations into the development and deployment of ASI. Cybertheology is presented as a vital framework for ensuring that ASI technologies align with human values and theological insights, thus providing a valuable lens through which to view the integration of superintelligence into society. Originality/Value: This paper contributes to academic and policy discussions on ASI by promoting cybertheology as a crucial perspective in ethical deliberations. It enriches scholarly dialogues by linking technological advancements with theological and ethical evaluations, proposing that cybertheology can play a pivotal role in shaping policies that govern ASI technologies. This approach ensures that technological progress is compatible with humanistic values, fostering a holistic understanding of ASI's potential impact on humanity.

Abstract

Purpose: This study explores the role of humour in fostering interreligious dialogue and cooperation within Indonesia’s digital spaces, particularly during the politically charged atmosphere of the 2024 general election. Methodology: Employing netnography, this research focuses on the 'Garis Lucu' (GL) cyberculture, analysing interactions on platforms like Twitter and Instagram to understand how humour mediates religious and political discourse. Findings: The study identifies three main themes: political engagement, political communication, and religious humour. Humour was found to significantly enhance civic engagement and function as a bridge in interreligious communication, easing tensions and fostering a culture of mutual respect and understanding. Research Implications: The findings suggest that digital platforms can serve as effective forums for promoting societal harmony and tolerance through humour, particularly in diverse societies facing political and religious tensions. Originality/Value: This research contributes to the understanding of cyberculture and interreligious dialogue by illustrating how humour can transform potentially divisive political interactions into opportunities for constructive and harmonious exchanges.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic precipitated unprecedented digital transformation across religious institutions, with approximately 80% of congregations worldwide adopting digital ministry by mid-2020. However, existing research predominantly examines isolated catechetical models, neglects semiotic dimensions, inadequately analyzes pedagogical mechanisms across platforms, and overlooks context-specific implementation in infrastructure-diverse settings, particularly in the Global South where 60% of Catholics reside. This study examined how the Diocese of Ruteng, Indonesia's largest Catholic diocese, implemented digital catechesis during 2020–2022, focusing on model integration, language strategies, pedagogical approaches, and contextual adaptation across heterogeneous infrastructural contexts. A qualitative phenomenological design involved 39 participants (diocesan leaders, priests, catechists, and young Catholics) selected through purposive maximum variation sampling across urban, sub-district, and rural parishes. Data collection combined structured interviews, platform observations of 150+ posts, and document analysis. Thematic analysis generated three major themes with methodological triangulation ensuring rigor. Findings revealed simultaneous deployment of three complementary catechetical models creating comprehensive ecosystems. Persistent misalignment existed between content production (55–75% conceptual language) and youth preferences (symbolic language generating substantially higher interaction), attributed to semiotic capacity gaps rather than awareness deficits. Pedagogical effectiveness proved fundamentally constrained by facilitator capacity rather than platform affordances, with asynchronous platforms remaining underutilized despite dialogic potential. Rural parishes developed innovative "digitally-sourced analog catechesis" downloading content for offline face-to-face sessions demonstrating that digital transformation in resource-constrained contexts requires reconceptualizing digital-analog boundaries. Successful digital catechesis demands integrated model strategies, semiotic capacity building, facilitator training for asynchronous pedagogy, access equity attention, and institutional support for hybrid approaches. Effectiveness depends on context-responsive adaptation rather than uniform solutions. Contribution: This research introduces "digitally-sourced analog catechesis" as a fourth model in digital catechesis typology and establishes "semiotic capacity" as a critical variable in content effectiveness, challenging technological determinism while providing evidence-based frameworks for religious education in infrastructure-diverse contexts, with implications for faith formation practices globally.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions designed to reduce Islamophobia, particularly in the context of citizen diplomacy, following the rise in Islamophobia after the 9/11 attacks. Specifically, it investigates the impact of both face-to-face and virtual intergroup contact in mitigating Islamophobia, addressing the growing need for effective strategies to counter negative perceptions of Muslims in the post-9/11 era. Methodology: A Bayesian meta-analysis was conducted using data from 760 studies indexed in Scopus, focusing on interventions targeting Islamophobia. After screening for eligibility, 4 studies were included for analysis. Both fixed-effects and random-effects models were employed within the Bayesian framework to assess the intervention's impact and account for variability across studies. Findings: The results show strong support for the effectiveness of interventions in reducing Islamophobia, with a posterior probability of 77.7% for the fixed-effects model, suggesting consistent reductions across studies. The random-effects model revealed some variability in the effectiveness of interventions, though the overall impact was still significant. These findings emphasize the potential of citizen diplomacy, including both in-person and virtual engagement, to reduce prejudice and foster greater intergroup understanding. Research Implications: This study underscores the critical role of citizen diplomacy in countering Islamophobia. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, non-governmental organizations, and educational institutions seeking to implement or enhance initiatives aimed at promoting intercultural dialogue. The study also demonstrates the utility of Bayesian meta-analysis in synthesizing research on intervention efficacy, offering a rigorous framework for future investigations into prejudice reduction strategies across various cultural contexts. Originality/Value: This research is one of the first to apply Bayesian meta-analysis to evaluate interventions aimed at reducing Islamophobia within citizen diplomacy. It offers a novel perspective by examining both face-to-face and virtual contact as methods of combating Islamophobia, areas that have been underexplored in existing literature. The integration of Bayesian techniques allows for more accurate, dynamic insights into the effectiveness of these interventions, providing a flexible model that can be adapted to other areas of social prejudice reduction.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the influence of religious moderation attitudes on religious tolerance attitudes among Generation Z in Kuningan Regency, particularly in the context of exposure to religious issues circulating on social media. The primary focus is to understand how the value of moderation can moderate the impact of digital religious issues—such as radicalism, moderate clerics, and foreign cultural influences—on the formation of tolerant attitudes, considering that Generation Z is the dominant age group in Indonesia’s population and highly active in the digital sphere. Methodology: This research employs a quantitative approach with a survey design involving 360 respondents from among Generation Z students in Kuningan Regency. Data were collected using a closed-ended Likert-scale questionnaire and analysed using multiple linear regression and moderated regression analysis (MRA) to assess both direct effects and the moderating role of religious moderation attitudes. Instrument validity and reliability were tested using the KMO measure, Bartlett’s Test, and Cronbach’s Alpha. Findings: The findings reveal that out of five examined religious issues, three—foreign culture, moderate clerics, and radicalism—have a direct influence on tolerance attitudes, while the other two do not show significant effects. However, when moderated by religious moderation attitudes, all five issues exhibit significant effects on tolerance attitudes. The most notable result appears in the case of radicalism, where a strong moderate attitude serves as an effective shield against the influence of extremist narratives. These results indicate that religious moderation plays a critical cognitive role in shaping how young people engage with complex religious content online. Research Implications: The study suggests that religious moderation can function as a cognitive filter for Generation Z in navigating digital religious content, highlighting the need to strengthen digital religious literacy based on moderation values through both formal and informal education, and through collaborative efforts among religious institutions, digital media, and youth communities. Originality/Value: This study contributes new insight to the field of digital religiosity by positioning religious moderation as a moderating variable—a perspective that has been largely unexplored in previous research. It enhances understanding of how internal values can function in filtering and responding to religious issues in social media, offering a contextually relevant framework for Indonesia’s socio-religious landscape.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to explore the application of digital philology in Qur’anic manuscript studies, particularly through an analysis of the Corpus Coranicum project as a model for critical engagement with early Qur’anic texts. Methodology: Employing a qualitative approach based on literature review, this research is combined with a case analysis of two core issues: the orthographic variation in early Qur’anic manuscripts and the presence of the ʿUthmānī archetype in written form. Findings: The findings demonstrate that the digital tools within Corpus Coranicum enable more precise and in-depth cross-manuscript textual comparisons. These results reveal orthographic variations based on geographical regions and provide preliminary evidence for the consolidation of the ʿUthmānī text. Research Implications: Implicatively, the study illustrates how digital philology can enrich methodologies in Islamic studies, create opportunities for digital-based academic training, and enhance access to manuscript data. Originality/Value: This research offers an original contribution by emphasizing the importance of integrating digital technologies into Qur’anic studies—particularly in Indonesia, where academic contexts have yet to widely develop this approach.

Abstract

Background: The talaqqī system in Qur’anic education traditionally emphasizes direct interaction between teacher and student to ensure authenticity of recitation and the transmission of spiritual values. However, the advancement of digital technology—particularly the use of artificial intelligence (AI)—has introduced new models in Qur’anic pedagogy. One example is the Qara’a application, which offers a self-directed learning method without the physical presence of a teacher. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the transformation of the talaqqī system into a digital format through the Qara’a application and to evaluate the accuracy of its Qur’anic recitation assessment system. Methodology: This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with structured digital observation of the Qara’a application. The researcher directly engaged with the app to document its navigation flow, AI features, and learning system. Data were collected through screenshots and field notes, and analyzed thematically through the stages of data reduction, categorization, interpretation, and conclusion drawing. Findings: The results show that in the Qara’a system, the teacher’s role is replaced by a machine that provides sample recitations, which are then imitated by the learner through voice recordings. The learning materials are structured in stages—covering writing, recitation, and a combination of both—and users cannot proceed to the next level without completing the current one. While the app offers flexibility in terms of time and place, its AI-based assessment focuses solely on makhraj (articulation point) per letter and does not account for technical issues (such as voice clarity and network stability) or the psychological state of the learner. Research Implication: These findings reveal a shift in the value system of talaqqī, from one rooted in spiritual relationships to an automated evaluative system, affecting both the meaning of authority and the quality of assessment in Qur’anic learning. Contribution: This study offers a new contribution to the field of digital Qur’anic education by presenting a critical analysis of AI integration in Islamic pedagogy. Its focus on the transformation of talaqqī and the evaluation mechanism of the Qara’a application represents a dimension that has not been widely explored in previous studies.

Abstract

Purpose: This study analyzes how a Hindu pandita’s transcendent communication (mantra recitation and ritual practice) is mediatized on TikTok by examining content characteristics, engagement dynamics, and audience negotiations between sacred values and platform logic. Methodology: Using a qualitative netnographic approach, the study focuses on the TikTok account @idapandita65. Data were collected through non-participant observation of 86 video posts and 2,144 user comments from January–April 2025, alongside recorded engagement metrics (likes, views, and comments). Findings: Three main findings emerged. First, extended rituals were recontextualized into short-form videos with an average duration of 3.2 minutes, and 67.4% of posts involved self-recording during mantra/ritual performance. Second, engagement increased sharply in April 2025 (20,322 likes; 509,204 views), representing 5,084% and 4,822% increases respectively compared to January, occurring in temporal proximity to the post-Nyepi period (Nyepi: 29 March 2025) and Galungan (23 April 2025), followed shortly by Kuningan (3 May 2025). Third, audience responses were polarized: 45% were appreciative (n=964), 38% were critical—particularly regarding sanctity, concentration, and sesana in self-recorded ritual content (n=814)—and 17% were humorous/ambivalent (n=366). Implications: Theoretically, the findings suggest that TikTok affordances and platform metrics do not merely transmit religion but actively reshape the logic of spiritual authority through algorithmic visibility and public participation. Practically, the study offers guidance for Hindu leaders and institutions to develop digital strategies that protect ritual integrity (e.g., considering delegated recording), and it highlights for platform designers and policymakers the sensitivity of contemplative and sacred ritual content in entertainment-oriented environments. Originality: This study extends mediatization theory to embodied and sonic Hindu ritual practices on short-video platforms, providing empirical evidence on audience polarization and demonstrating how production methods (self-recording vs. third-party recording) shape perceptions of authenticity and religious legitimacy.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the political and religious expressions of Muslim Generation Z as represented on the Instagram account of islami.co. Methodology: The research employs a qualitative approach using semiotic analysis to examine selected comic strips. Data were collected through virtual ethnography by gathering comic strip posts published on the islami.co Instagram account. Findings: The study finds that the comic strips shared by islami.co on Instagram serve as representations of the political and religious expressions of Muslim Gen Z in response to political events in Indonesia. The comics reflect a form of critical Islam, particularly in relation to the then-ongoing presidential election. Research Implications: This research contributes to the growing body of scholarship on Islam in digital spaces, particularly as expressed through visual media like comics. It recommends the production of more progressive Islamic content on social media to help foster critical thinking among young Muslims. Such content should be delivered in popular formats such as comics, podcasts, vlogs, and similar media. Originality/Value: This study offers a novel contribution by integrating the themes of comics, politics, and religion within the framework of social media studies and Muslim Gen Z identity.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze how the interfaith community Jakatarub (Jaringan Kerja Antarumat Beragama) constructs a narrative of religious tolerance through mediatization strategies on the Instagram platform, as well as how audiences respond to these narratives. This research is significant given the shift of interfaith dialogue traditions from physical spaces to digital spaces, which opens new opportunities while also presenting challenges for strengthening social cohesion in Indonesia. Methodology: Using a qualitative approach with the netnography method, this study focuses on the Instagram account @jakatarub_bdg by examining 128 Feed and Reels posts published between January and December 2024, along with audience comments analyzed using Kozinets’ Cyber Media Analysis (CMA) framework. Findings: The findings reveal that the constructed tolerance narrative encompasses three main themes: interfaith dialogue (41%), social harmony (38%), and religious tolerance (21%). The mediatization strategies applied include media as conduits, media as language, and media as environment, which synergistically expand the reach of messages and create participatory spaces for audiences. Audience responses were predominantly positive and reflective, although some critical feedback sparked deeper discussions on the realities of tolerance at the local level. Research Implications: The implications of this study affirm the potential of social media as an effective medium for promoting interfaith dialogue, while highlighting the need for content moderation policies and adaptive communication strategies to anticipate risks of polarization and the reproduction of stereotypes. Originality/Value: The originality of this research lies in its integration of Hjarvard’s and Meyrowitz’s mediatization theory with a netnographic approach to a grassroots interfaith community in Indonesia—a focus that has been rarely explored in previous studies.
