Keywords:
Aluk Todolo, Torajan Christianity, Hybrid spiritual identity, Rambu Solo', Religious historiographyAbstract
This study analyzes how the spiritual identity of the Torajan people in Lembang Benteng Mamullu was formed in a hybrid manner through the historical encounter between Aluk Todolo and Christianity, particularly in death rites such as Rambu Solo', which are still practiced but reinterpreted in light of the Christian faith. Using a qualitative historical-historiographical case study approach, this study explores the narratives of local actors across generations to show that Aluk Todolo now functions more as a cultural identity and communal ethos, while the theological and salvation dimensions are primarily referred to Christian teachings, resulting in the birth of a dynamic "Torajan-Christian" identity amidst the currents of modernization and globalization.
