Fokus penelitian ini adalah tentang radikalisme agama sebagai fenomena publik yang berpengaruh pada kerusakan relasi antar agama. Kaum radikal memberi penekanan yang sangat ketat pada perbedaan doktrin agama hingga menutup ruang perjumpaan dengan sesama pemeluk agama lain. Penelitian ini bertujuan menghimbau gereja dan orang percaya untuk selalu siaga dan mengantisipasi potensi-potensi radikalisme dari kalangan Kristen, khususnya generasi muda yang rentan dipengaruhi oleh bahaya radikalisme yang menjadi ancaman bagi toleransi antar umat agama. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian deskriptif, dengan mendeskripsikan situasi radikalisme agama yang kian marak terjadi. Sumber-sumber yang menjadi acuan dalam penulisan ini adalah artikel dan buku-buku referensi terkait. Faktor-faktor yang turut mempelopori tumbuhnya paham radikal, yaitu sosiologi, psikologi dan ideologi. Terkait itu, beberapa hal yang perlu sebagai upaya untuk menangkal pengaruhnya terhadap kaum muda Kristen adalah mendidik kesadaran akan kebersamaan dalam keberagaman agama, membangun kesadaran dialogis, dan menggalang aksi damai. Pokok-pokok tersebut dapat menjadi sumbangan bagi pemikiran dan praksis gereja dalam merawat keberagaman sembari menangkal bahaya radikalisme yang dapat memengaruhi kaum muda Kristen.The focus of this research is on religious radicalism as a public phenomenon that affects the breakdown of interreligious relations. The radicals put a very strict emphasis on differences in religious doctrines to the point where they closed the space for meeting with other adherents of other religions. This research aims to urge churches and believers to always be alert and anticipate potential radicalism from Christians, especially the younger generation who are vulnerable to being affected by the dangers of radicalism which poses a threat to inter-religious tolerance. This study uses descriptive research methods, by describing the situation of religious radicalism which is increasingly prevalent. The sources used as references in this writing are articles and related reference books. The factors that contributed to the growth of radicalism were sociology, psychology and ideology. Related to that, several things that are necessary as an effort to counteract its influence on young Christians are educating awareness of togetherness in religious diversity, building dialogic awareness, and organizing peaceful actions. These points can be a contribution to the thinking and practice of the church in caring for diversity while counteracting the dangers of radicalism that can affect young Christians.
Digital culture is a new reality that affects human existence in the 21st century. With the development of technology, this culture also determines the way humans are present. Presence that could originally be interpreted through its personality is now eroded by a digital system that is completely artificial and meaningless. This causes a crisis of the meaning of presence and invites attention from various sides. Theologically, the meaning of presence cannot be represented by a technological system because technology is only a means without the intensity of awareness that is operationalized for the benefit of humans. Presence can only be interpreted through encounters between human beings in the wholeness of body, soul, and spirit which were originally created in the likeness and image of God. Therefore, in responding to digital culture, theology must be critical in order to address the meaning of presence so that it is not reduced or distorted by the negative impact of digital culture. This research uses a descriptive research method that aims to describe factual information, identify characteristics, trends, relationships and categories, as study material. The study materials used in this paper are sourced from relevant literature and support the completeness of research on the problems being studied, such as scientific journal articles and books.
The focus of this research is on corruption as a global and serious problem that causes unrest in various parts of the world. The impact is so serious and dangerous for the existence of a nation that it attracts a lot of attention and efforts to deal with it. Amid these efforts, this study aims to provide an ethical-theological offer and answer to educate corrupt behavior by referring to the text of Hebrews 13:5. The method used in this research is a literature research and hermeneutic study. The result of this research is that to prevent corrupt behaviour, character education is needed as a step to form good behaviour. In addition, efforts are needed to cultivate satisfaction to avoid greed that has the potential to encourage acts of corruption. This research offers a God-centered education as an ethical-theological basis that guarantees the fullness of human life and allows a person not to behave corruptly.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tentang layanan konseling online dalam kaitannya dengan pelayanan gereja. Tampak bahwa, sistem pelayanan konseling online kini berpengaruh luas dan gereja pun terkena pengaruhnya. Meskipun demikian kenyataan tersebut perlu disikapi dengan baik, agar para konselor Kristen tidak terjebak dan terkendali dalam arena media online yang bebas nilai, tanpa kontrol sosial, moral, dan etis. Penelitian ini menggunaka metode Content Analysis dengan menyelidiki teks-teks yang dirujuk melalui artikel jurnal online. Dalam penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa layanan konseling online pada satu sisi berdampak baik, tetapi juga berdampak buruk di sisi lainnya. Berkenaan dengan itu, maka para konselor Kristen perlu menyikapinya secara proporsional menurut nilai-nilai etika Kristen, agar penggunaan media online dalam melakukan pelayanan konseling tetap dalam batas yang wajar dan terukur sesuai dengan kebenaran Kristen.
Kepemimpinan merupakan bagian tak terpisahkan dari hidup manusia, dan sejak semula manusia sudah terhubung dengan soal-soal kepemimpinan dengan berbagai persoalannya. Kadang sejarah menyuguhkan kepada kita tentang kisah-kisah sukses seorang pemimpin, tetapi di pihak lain kisah-kisah kegagalan pemimpin pun menjadi perhatian yang tidak kalah penting. Diantara kedua hal tersebut, penelitian ini terfokus pada kegagalan pemimpin yang masih menjadi problem hingga masa kini. Hal tersebut penting karena, dengan memahami seluk-beluk penyebab kegagalan kepemimpinan maka, masalah tersebut dapat diantisipasi dan tidak diulangi lagi pada masa kini dan masa yang akan datang. Diantara sekian banyak kisah-kisah kegagalan, penulis memilih kisah kegagalan Raja Saul sebagai acuannya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode library research dengan menggunakan sumber-sumber pustaka yang relevan. Metode ini digunakan untuk membangun wacana intelektual tentang kegagalan kepemimpinan yang mendasari penyimpangan-penyimpangan yang secara umum dilakukan oleh para pemimpin.
