Abstract

This study examines socio-economic poverty among Yoruba women in the Southwestern region of Nigeria, with women as the main unit of analysis and Yorubaland as the socio-cultural context of the study. The aim of this study is to identify the structural, cultural, and economic factors that contribute to the sustainability of Yoruba women's socio-economic poverty and to examine their implications for women's empowerment and national development. This research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing a critical analysis of academic literature, policy documents, and secondary data from international development agency reports, complemented by contextual observations of the socio-economic realities of the Yoruba people. The findings of the study show that the socio-economic poverty of Yoruba women is influenced by limited access to education, patriarchal cultural norms, economic inequality, government policies that are less favorable to women, the high cost of living, and lack of access to financial resources. These factors collectively limit women's economic participation, inhibit asset accumulation, and reinforce cycles of dependency and vulnerability. The study also found that unpaid domestic work and the exclusion of women from the decision-making process weakened their socio-economic progress. This article contributes to the study of gender and development by presenting a contextual analysis of women's poverty in Yoruba society and affirms the urgency of gender-sensitive policies as a sustainable development strategy in Nigeria.

Abstract

This article examines post-conflict Muslim-Christian relations in Indonesia, using communal trauma as the primary unit of analysis. The aim of this study was to show how trauma functions as a relational reality that forms patterns of segregation, latent prejudice, and possible interfaith encounters. This study employs a qualitative approach through narrative inquiry, analyzing the documentary film Beta Mau Jumpa as a narrative-theological text, supported by a literature review on interreligious conflict and trauma theology. The results show that post-conflict trauma does not stop as an individual experience but operates as a collective memory that shapes Muslim-Christian relations in an ongoing manner. The novelty of this research lies in the positioning of trauma as a locus theologicus in the study of interreligious relations. This article contributes to the development of contextual theology and religious education by offering a more sensitive theological framework to the experience of wounds and post-conflict reconciliation.

Abstract

This study examines the practice of Mowea Sarapu within the Tolaki Muslim community in Indonesia, focusing on the husband as the primary unit of analysis. In this context, the husband symbolically "hands over" the cheating wife to his lover through the ritual of splitting the sarong and the payment of customary fines, often without formal divorce. The purpose of this study is to examine the conformity of these practices with Islamic norms (marriage, talaq, ishlah, and maqasid al-shari'ah) and to evaluate the normative position of women at the intersection of customs, religion, and state law. Utilizing normative legal research methods with conceptual and comparative approaches, this study draws on a literature review that focuses on the Tolaki/Kalosara tradition, Islamic family law, gender discourse, and Indonesian positive law. The findings suggest that Mowea Sarapu is able to mitigate communal conflict and restore dignity, but it creates a liminal zone for women's legal status, which is vulnerable to livelihood insecurity, hereditary issues, and stigma. The novelty lies in its framing as a reconstructable "ishlah adat." The contribution of research, in the form of socio-theological frameworks (maqasid, legal pluralism, and gender justice), aims to transform it into a model that is women-centered, more equitable, and in line with substantive justice and the rule of law.

Abstract

This study analyzes the Ata-Maramba social hierarchy in Sumba as a form of modern slavery legitimized by deeply rooted socio‑cultural structures and evaluates the church’s response through the lens of Dalit theology. Using a qualitative approach that combines literature review and semi‑structured interviews with pastors serving in Tanambanas–Waiurang, the research reveals that exploitative practices based on hereditary status continue to persist and are often framed as customary obligations, making them difficult to recognize as modern slavery. Dalit Theology, which centers the lived experience of the oppressed as the locus of theological reflection, provides a critical framework for interpreting the structural marginalization experienced by the ata community and for assessing the church’s role in addressing injustice. The findings indicate a significant gap between the church’s theological declarations of human equality and the social reality in which caste‑based stigma remains embedded within congregational life. The church’s response tends to be pastoral and incremental, lacking the structural transformation demanded by Dalit Theology. Therefore, this study argues for the need for a more explicit and transformative ecclesial praxis—one that publicly acknowledges injustice, empowers ata communities, and develops affirmative programs that embody the preferential option for the oppressed as central to the mission of God’s Kingdom.

Abstract

This research places the institution of motherhood in modern African society as the main unit of analysis to decipher its shifting cultural values. The purpose of this research is to reconstruct the meaning of motherhood distorted by colonialism and capitalistic modernity through the lens of contemporary philosophy. Using a qualitative method approaching conceptual-analytical analysis, this literature study evaluates the main texts of ethical philosophy and African feminism thought. The findings and novelty of this research prove that the concept of motherhood in Africa is not just an oppressive biological-domestic function, but a relational, ethical, and socially productive institution that provides moral authority for women. This deconstruction gave birth to a new synthesis that sat down as a fair communal responsibility. The scientific contribution of this research is to provide a theoretical blueprint for bridging the tension between radical Western autonomy and traditional communitarianism. Thus, this study offers a robust contextual framework for the formulation of gender justice policies, social sustainability, and the fulfillment of reproductive rights rooted in the local wisdom of modern African societies.

Abstract

The modern ecological crisis is fundamentally driven by anthropocentric paradigms that exploit the biosphere. Addressing this challenge, this study utilizes the theological frameworks of Khalīfah fīl-Arḍ in Islam and Imago Dei in Christianity as its central units of analysis to construct an applicable interfaith environmental ethics model. Employing a qualitative, comparative theological-philosophical approach through library research, this study systematically analyzes classical and contemporary Qur'anic exegeses, biblical texts, and official church documents. The analysis reveals a vital conceptual intersection: both Abrahamic traditions strictly deconstruct despotic anthropocentrism by redefining human authority not as absolute ownership, but as derivative, accountable stewardship (amanah). The core novelty of this research lies in its transition from passive, compartmentalized dogmatic comparisons to an integrated "theo-ecocentric" paradigm that binds ecological preservation with absolute spiritual devotion. Ultimately, this study contributes a robust moral foundation and pragmatic, cross-religious action plans—such as eco-places of worship and interfaith environmental alliances—bridging the gap between sacred texts and practical biosphere restoration.

Abstract

Sleep disorders are a common health concern among older adults and are often associated with reduced physical functioning, impaired cognition, and poorer psychological well-being. This study aimed to conduct a pre–post evaluation of a community-based sleep training program for older men with sleep disorders in Duhok Governorate, Iraq. A single-group pretest–posttest design was employed involving 10 community-dwelling men aged 60–63 years who reported sleep-related difficulties. Participants attended an 8-session training program delivered over four weeks in a community setting. The intervention included sleep hygiene education, relaxation techniques, behavioral strategies, and practical guidance to improve sleep-related habits. Outcome assessment was conducted before and after the intervention using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) as the primary measure, supported by selected indicators of sleep pattern and daytime functioning. The findings showed improvement in overall sleep quality following participation in the program, reflected in lower PSQI scores, reduced sleep onset latency, improved sleep efficiency, and longer total sleep duration. Positive changes were also observed in daytime sleepiness and selected cognitive functioning outcomes. These findings suggest that a structured community-based sleep training program may provide short-term benefits for older men experiencing sleep disturbances. However, the results should be interpreted cautiously, given the small sample size, absence of a control group, and limited follow-up period. Further controlled studies with larger samples are needed to confirm the intervention's effectiveness and generalizability

Abstract

This study investigates how Christian Religious Education (Pendidikan Agama Kristen / PAK) lecturers in Indonesian higher education institutions facilitate interreligious dialogue to mitigate horizontal conflicts and nurture systemic tolerance. Employing a qualitative descriptive methodology grounded in a comprehensive literature review, this research systematically analyzes the transformation of pedagogical approaches from doctrinally exclusive models toward context-sensitive, dialogical frameworks. The findings reveal that academic actors serve as essential ethical and pedagogical agents by integrating interreligious dialogue into the curricula, facilitating structured interfaith discussions, modeling inclusive behavior, and leading cross-faith institutional partnerships. The study's main novelty lies in its operationalization of practical "diaconal engagement" and a lived "philosophy of encounter" within Christian higher education to transcend mere normative ideals. This research contributes to global discourses on peace education and moderating religious radicalism by providing a replicable matrix of scholastic leadership for multi-faith nations.

Abstract

This study examines theological claims concerning Imago Dei—particularly substantive, functional, and relational models—as its unit of analysis, in light of the rise of generative artificial intelligence capable of mimicking cognitive, linguistic, and social performance. The study aims to critically reassess the adequacy of these models and to formulate a more resilient theological framework that preserves human dignity without reducing it to measurable capacities or simulated interactions. Methodologically, the article employs a systematic-critical conceptual review of theological anthropology and interdisciplinary AI literature, combined with comparative analysis and systematic theological synthesis. The findings indicate that capacity-based interpretations render substantive and functional models vulnerable to technological replication, while purely relational accounts risk collapsing into phenomenological simulation. As a conceptual novelty, the article proposes a relational–teleological model of Imago Dei grounded in covenantal participation, vocational orientation, and embodied social existence. This model distinguishes between performative similarity and ontological participation, thereby clarifying the theological boundaries between human persons and AI systems. The study contributes to systematic theology by offering a coherent doctrinal reconstruction that is both conceptually robust and contextually responsive, while also providing a normative framework for evaluating AI in ethical, ecclesial, and public contexts.

Abstract

This study analyzes the theological and cultural dimensions of marriage by examining key Old Testament texts and their dialogical engagement with Javanese marriage practices. The unit of analysis includes selected biblical passages (Gen 2:18–24; Exod 22:16–17; Mal 2:13–16; Hos 1–3; Ruth 4) alongside core elements of Javanese rituals such as seserahan, panggih–sungkeman, and kenduri. The aim is to construct a contextual theological framework that critically integrates biblical concepts of covenant, economic responsibility, and communal joy with Javanese cultural values. This research employs a qualitative, literature-based method combining historical-grammatical exegesis, Ancient Near Eastern contextual analysis, and anthropological interpretation of Javanese culture. A comparative thematic approach is used to identify points of resonance and tension between the two traditions. The findings reveal three key insights. First, the covenantal nature of Old Testament marriage resonates with Javanese ideals of harmony (rukun) and relational fidelity. Second, the concept of mohar parallels seserahan as a cultural expression of responsibility and respect toward women, while requiring critical evaluation to avoid economic excess. Third, communal celebration in biblical wedding feasts aligns with kenduri as an expression of shared joy and social cohesion. This study contributes a contextual theological model that affirms cultural values while offering critical discernment, thereby enriching contemporary discussions on marriage, theology, and culture in non-Western contexts.
