“…The tendency of Christianity to alienate culture needs to be minimised. This presupposition was in line with the authors' previous research related to cultural conservation that can be carried out by Christians, such as imaginary dialogue on the traditions of entas-entas (Panuntun, Pute & Mangalik 2020), the value of Christian hospitality in the tradition of bancaan (Panuntun & Susanta 2021), the value of hospitality in longko torayan's culture (Panuntun 2020), Christian values in the song of cublak-cublak suweng (Panuntun 2019) and recent research on sleeping souls as a reinterpretation of the Toraja tradition of death (Panuntun & Salewa 2022). Based on this tendency, the authors try to relate the Javanese death's slametan tradition with the doctrine of the sleeping soul developed by the authors.…”

The doctrine of the sleeping soul is a doctrine developed to accommodate local wisdom in Indonesia. This doctrine describes the metaphysical part of man after death. A local pearl of wisdom discussed is the Javanese death slametan tradition. The purpose of this article is to develop the doctrine of the sleeping soul according to the narrative of Jesus’ words in Mark 5:35–42 and the Prophet Daniel in Daniel 12:1–3 in representing the metaphysical anthropological view of the Javanese death slametan tradition in terms of the theory of collective memory. The descriptions of the sleeping soul doctrine in the Javanese death slametan tradition are as follows: Firstly, there is a collective memory in giving appreciation to the metaphysical side of humans after death. Secondly, the sleeping soul doctrine is developed from the collective memory of the Javanese death slametan tradition and the Hebrew view. Thirdly, the sleeping soul doctrine is a contextualisation doctrine of the Javanese death slametan tradition.Contribution: The implications of this research give birth to the doctrine of the sleeping soul in the framework of the preservation of Javanese culture, especially in the Javanese culture of death [slametan]. This study proves that Christianity has contributed to caring for culture rather than alienating it.

“…A deconstructed view of the 'sleeping soul' can then be linked to funeral practices in Indonesia to create a contextual theology friendly towards tradition but strict against syncretism. The type of reconstruction in the explanation of 'sleeping soul' is as the research has carried out in previous studies such as Christian hospitality in Javanese bancaan tradition (Panuntun & Susanta 2021). The basic presupposition in the research is that Christianity should not alienate local culture.…”

The funeral tradition of the Torajan people is one of the most recognised funeral traditions in the world, a part of Indonesia’s rich indigenous knowledge. However, this particular tradition has been in decline over time because of the alienation caused by the spreading of Christianity. This research aimed to reinterpret metaphysical anthropology of the funeral tradition of the Torajan people using the concept of the sleeping soul from the narration of Jesus in Mark 5:35–42 and Daniel 12:1–3. The research used a qualitative approach with theological and ethnographic research types. The results of this study reveal that the concept of the sleeping soul in the biblical view can reinterpret metaphysical anthropology in the funeral tradition of the Torajan people as follows: (1) souls are eternal in the process of death, (2) souls of the deceased are helpless and (3) the sleeping soul is an eschatological hope for Christianity and Torajan people.Contribution: The aim of this research is to find a Christian metaphysical anthropology doctrine that is cordial to the funeral tradition of the Torajan people. The relationship between the two is that they have the same way of appreciating human existence metaphysically. This finding contributes to Christianity in the preservation of Torajan culture.

“…Consequently, they not only belong to a religious minority, but they also possess a religious perspective that contradicts the prevailing cultural paradigm. There is no known manifestation of Judaism in an Indonesian form, similar to the adaptations observed in six major religions interacting with Indonesian culture (Nasir, 2019;Panuntun & Susanta, 2021). Based on the findings from data analysis using various sources, it has been determined that the concept of MRB, specifically concerning Cultural Belonging, does not apply to the Indonesian Jewish community.…”

This research aimed to elaborate on the Indonesian Jewish community, represented by The United Indonesian Jewish Community led by Rabbi Benjamin Meijer Verbrugge and Sha'ar Hashamayim Synagogue under the spiritual guidance of Rabbi Yaakov Baruch. This research followed the theoretical framework of multiple religious belonging (MRB), pioneered by Catherine Cornille (1961–). This research combined primary data from in-depth interviews conducted offline and online with congregation members of both communities, as well as an extensive literature review. This research commenced its analysis by considering the conflicting religious identities of Indonesian Jews within their Indonesian identity card (Kartu Tanda Penduduk, abbreviated KTP in Bahasa Indonesia), which eventually investigated the identity of Indonesian Jews. This research concluded that MRB’s scientific schema, consisting of elements of Cultural Belonging, Family Belonging, Situational Belonging, Believing without Belonging, and Asymmetrical Belonging, may not fit entirely to the theological concern of Indonesian Jews, yet some of its elements may fit into a more secular, lower, context of ‘Civil’ Identity. The ambiguity of the existence of Indonesian Jews prevails because they are Jewish, practising Jewish rituals, and firmly committed to Jewish tradition, yet cannot conceal their Jewish identity fully in their KTP. Further investigation concerning their level of religiosity and how their Jewishness is practiced may invite further research.
