STUDI EKSEGESIS “TAKUT AKAN TUHAN SEBAGAI PERMULAAN PENGETAHUAN”: KAJIAN TERHADAP AMSAL 1:7 DALAM PERSPEKTIF HIKMAT PERJANJIAN LAMA
This study aims to examine the theological and epistemological meaning of the phrase “the fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge” in Proverbs 1:7 through an exegetical approach within the perspective of Old Testament wisdom. The main problem of this study is how the concept of “fear of the LORD” is understood in the context of the Hebrew text and how the concept functions as a foundation for knowledge and wisdom in the biblical tradition. The method used is a qualitative approach with a literature review that focuses on the analysis of the Hebrew biblical text, the study of Old Testament theological literature, and historical-critical and thematic analysis of the main concepts in the text. The results of the study show that “fear of the LORD” does not refer to emotional fear, but rather an attitude of respect, obedience, and recognition of God’s sovereignty as the source of wisdom. This concept serves as an epistemological foundation that places the human relationship with God as the starting point of true knowledge. Moreover, the human response to wisdom determines whether a person grows in wisdom or remains in ignorance.

PENGARUH PEMBELAJARAN FIQIH TERHADAP DISPLIN IBADAH SISWA DI SEKOLAH
Fiqh learning is an important component of Islamic religious education that aims to provide students with an understanding of Islamic legal rulings, particularly those related to the practice of worship. Through fiqh learning, students are expected not only to understand the theoretical concepts of worship but also to apply them in their daily lives with discipline. However, in practice, some students are still found to be less consistent in performing acts of worship. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the role of fiqh learning in shaping students’ discipline in worship at school. This study employs a qualitative approach using a library research method. Data were collected through the examination of various relevant literature sources, such as the Qur’an, Hadith, fiqh books, and scientific journals related to the research topic. The results of the study indicate that fiqh learning plays an important role in developing students’ discipline in worship, as it provides them with an understanding of proper worship practices, values of obedience, and the importance of consistently carrying out Allah’s commands. Thus, fiqh learning not only functions as a process of knowledge transfer but also as a means of fostering religious attitudes and developing disciplined character in worship among students.
MAKNA ISTILAH תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ (TOHU WĀBŌHÛ) DALAM KEJADIAN 1:2: ANALISIS LEKSIKAL DAN TEOLOGIS TERHADAP KONSEP KEADAAN AWAL PENCIPTAAN
This study examines the meaning of the Hebrew term תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ (tohu wābōhû) in Genesis 1:2 through an integrative lexical and theological approach. Commonly translated as “formless and void,” this expression carries a deeper and more complex meaning within linguistic and Ancient Near Eastern cosmological contexts. The research employs a qualitative library-based method using exegetical analysis of the Hebrew text, supported by theological and historical-critical literature. The findings indicate that tohu conveys notions of disorder, non-functionality, and an unstructured condition, while bohu emphasizes emptiness or voidness. Together, they form an idiomatic expression describing the primordial state of the earth as unstructured reality, yet not absolute nothingness. In dialogue with Ancient Near Eastern cosmology, this concept shares similarities with the idea of primordial chaos, but differs theologically in that it is not personified as a force opposing God, rather it exists under His sovereignty. Theologically, tohu wābōhû bridges the understanding between creatio ex nihilo and creation as the ordering of chaos, affirming that creation involves both the act of bringing existence into being and the process of ordering it toward harmony. Thus, the term represents a potential state that becomes the object of God’s creative activity, while simultaneously affirming His sovereignty over all reality. This study contributes to a richer understanding of the doctrine of creation through a synthesis of linguistic analysis and theological reflection.
MAKNA HIDUP DI TENGAH KETIDAKPASTIAN ZAMAN MODERN: REFLEKSI TEOLOGIS ATAS KITAB PENGKHOTBAH TENTANG PENCARIAN ARTI KEHIDUPAN
This study aims to examine the meaning of life in the midst of modern uncertainty through a theological reflection on the Book of Ecclesiastes and its relevance in light of Catholic Church teachings. The method used is library research with a descriptive-analytical approach, analyzing the text of Ecclesiastes, official Church documents, and relevant theological literature. The results show that the Book of Ecclesiastes honestly portrays human life as marked by vanity (hebel), limitations, and uncertainty. However, it also affirms that the meaning of life can be found in fearing God, enjoying life’s simple blessings, and living with moral responsibility before God. The teachings of the Catholic Church complement this reflection by emphasizing that the true meaning of life is rooted in a relationship with God, hope for salvation, and a life lived in love and truth. Therefore, in the midst of modern uncertainty, human beings can still discover an authentic meaning of life through faith, hope, and a life oriented toward God.
MODERASI DANIEL: TAFSIR HISTORIS-KRITIS MELLUI KACAMATA MODERASI BERAGAMA TERHADAP KITAB DANIEL 6:1-12
This study examines Daniel 6:1-12 through a historical-critical approach with a focus on religious moderation in the Christian context. The story of Daniel illustrates the steadfast faith of a minority figure facing political pressure in the Medo-Persian empire, while maintaining personal and professional integrity without compromising religious principles. This qualitative library research uses the biblical text as the primary data and theological literature and studies on religious moderation as secondary data. Historical-critical analysis explores the historical context, narrative structure, and sociopolitical dynamics, while thematic analysis highlights Daniel’s values of moderation, moral courage, and integrity. The study finds that Daniel’s moderation integrates spiritual discipline, moral courage, and professional competence, enabling Christian minorities to contribute positively in public spaces without losing religious identity. This narrative is relevant for contemporary religious moderation, emphasizing a balance between faithfulness to God, moral ethics, and social responsibility.
WOMEN'S EMANCIPATION IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE QUR'AN: A THEMATIC QUR'AN STUDY ON MORAL AND SOCIAL EQUALITY WITH A GROUNDED THEORY APPROACH
This study aims to analyze the idea of women's emancipation from the perspective of the Qur'an using the thematic approach of the Qur'an and the analysis of Grounded Theory. The background of this research is the emergence of various discussions about the position and role of women in society which are often understood in a limited way without considering the broader understanding of the Qur'an. The approach used in this study is qualitative with a normative-theological approach. The data used came from verses of the Qur'an that were relevant to women's themes, especially those that described the origin of human creation, moral and spiritual responsibilities, and social and economic rights that women have. Data collection is carried out through the identification and classification of related verses, then analyzed using the thematic method of the Qur'an. Data analysis was carried out with a Grounded Theory approach through the stages of open coding, axial coding, and selective coding to find the main concepts contained in the text of the verse. The results of the study show that the idea of women's emancipation in the Qur'an can be understood through three main dimensions, namely ontological equality, moral equality, and social equality. Ontological equality asserts that men and women come from a similar source of creation. Moral equality shows that both have an equal spiritual responsibility and opportunity to reap the rewards of good deeds. On the other hand, social equality can be seen from the Qur'an's recognition of economic rights, legal protection, and women's participation in society. These findings show that the Qur'an provides a strong normative basis for respecting women's dignity as well as acknowledging their role in human life.
ETIKA SOSIAL KRISTEN SEBAGAI RESPONS TEOLOGIS TERHADAP KRISIS MORALITAS DIGITAL: TANTANGAN PEMBENTUKAN KARAKTER GENERASI MUDA GEREJA DI ERA MEDIA SOSIAL
The digital era has brought fundamental changes in social interaction patterns and moral formation, particularly among the younger generation of the church. This study aims to formulate Christian social ethics as a theological response to the digital morality crisis in the context of character formation for the younger church generation. Using a qualitative research method based on library research with a theological-conceptual approach, this study analyzes various digital moral crisis phenomena such as cyberbullying, hoax dissemination, and dehumanization in online communication. The findings show that Christian social ethics rooted in the principles of agape, imitatio Christi, and Kingdom ethics can serve as a contextual theological foundation for shaping the digital character of the younger church generation. The church is called to be actively present as an agent of moral transformation in the digital space through contextual discipleship, cross-institutional collaboration, and faith-based digital literacy development. This research contributes to the development of applied Christian ethics relevant to the digital reality of today's younger church generation.
TRADISI BUDAYA TORAJA DAN DOGMA KRISTEN: STUDI KASUS MA'PAKANDE DEWATA
This research explores the complex dynamics between Toraja cultural traditions and Christian dogma, focusing on the Ma'pakande Dewata ritual, an ancestral offering practice rooted in the Aluk Todolo belief system. Since the arrival of Christianity in the early 20th century, the Toraja people have faced an identity dilemma between preserving their cultural heritage and accommodating the teachings of their newly adopted religion. This study employs a qualitative approach with an ethnographic case study design involving informants, consisting of to minaa (traditional spiritual leaders), pastors, customary leaders, and Toraja Christian families. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, document studies, and focus group discussions, then analyzed using thematic analysis methods. The findings reveal that the tension between Ma'pakande Dewata and Christian dogma reflects a fundamental conflict between animistic-communalistic and monotheistic-individualistic worldviews. Toraja Christians have developed four main adaptation strategies: total assimilation, pragmatic syncretism, creative inculturation, and strategic selectivity. The choice of strategy is influenced by factors such as church denominational affiliation, position in the customary structure, education level, family cohesion, and personal experience. This research contributes to the understanding of religious syncretism and inculturation in indigenous community contexts, and provides recommendations for developing more culturally sensitive contextual theology and cultural heritage preservation policies that respect the religious dimensions of society.
THE INTEGRATION OF MODERN SCIENCE IN THE INTERPRETATION OF THE VERSES OF THE COSMOS: A STUDY OF THE WORK OF ZAGHLUL AL-NAJJAR IN MUKHTARÂT MIN TAFSÎR AL-ÂYÂT AL-KAWNIYYAH FI AL-QUR'ÂN AL-KARÎM JUZ 1
This research aims to explore how modern science is integrated in the interpretation of the verses of the cosmos in the Qur'an through an analysis of the book Mukhtarât min Tafsîr al-Âyât al-Kawniyyah fi al-Qur'ân al-Karîm Juz 1 by Zaghlul al-Najjar. This study emerged in line with the development of the method of scientific interpretation in the study of the Qur'an today that seeks to connect the text of revelation with discoveries in modern science. The method used in this study is a literature review with a descriptive-analytical approach to the interpretation of the verses of the cosmos in the work. The data used came from the main sources, namely the books analyzed as well as various additional literature related to the interpretation of modern science and science. The findings of the study show that Zaghlul al-Najjar relates the verses of the cosmos to a variety of modern scientific concepts such as cosmology, geology, meteorology, and oceanography. This connection can be seen in the interpretation of verses that discuss the creation of the universe, the expansion of the cosmos, the structure of the earth and the role of mountains, the water cycle, and the phenomenon of the meeting of the two seas. With this approach, the content of the Qur'an is not only interpreted as a theological message, but also as a signal that can be investigated from a scientific point of view. The interpretation made reflects an attempt to show the harmony between the images in the Qur'an and modern scientific results. This research also reveals that Zaghlul al-Najjar's thought contributes significantly to the development of scientific interpretation by presenting an integrated model that involves revelation and science in an interdisciplinary manner. However, this approach requires methodological caution so as not to create an overly forced interpretation of scientific theories that are always changing. Therefore, this study emphasizes that scientific interpretation has great potential to enrich the study of the contemporary Qur'an and open up opportunities for dialogue between religion and science in understanding the universe.
TAFSIR AL-QUR’AN DENGAN QAUL, BAHASA, DAN IJTIHAD PARA TABI’IN
Tafsir of the Qur’an is an effort to understand the meaning and content of the verses of the Holy Qur’an in a comprehensive way. In the history of the development of tafsir, several methods have been used by scholars. Among them are tafsir based on the opinions of the tābi‘īn, tafsir based on language, and tafsir based on ijtihad. Tafsir based on the opinions of the tābi‘īn refers to interpretations that rely on the explanations of the generation after the Companions of the Prophet. As successors to the Companions, they had close connections to early Islamic teachings and narration traditions, which makes their interpretations important in Islamic scholarship. Tafsir based on language focuses on the study of Arabic grammar and linguistic sciences, such as morphology (ṣarf), syntax (naḥw), and rhetoric (balāghah). This approach emphasizes understanding the structure and style of the Arabic language to interpret the Qur’an correctly. Meanwhile, tafsir based on ijtihad uses rational thinking and independent reasoning, while still following the principles of Islamic law and the foundations of tafsir. This study aims to explain the characteristics, methodological foundations, and contributions of these three approaches in developing Islamic knowledge. These methods support and complement one another in understanding the Qur’an as a whole, making it relevant to different contexts and in harmony with the development of time.
KELUARGA SEBAGAI KOMUNITAS IMAN PERTAMA DALAM TEOLOGI PEMURIDAN KONTEKS INDONESIA
This research aims to examine the role of the family as the primary faith community in discipleship theology relevant to the Indonesian context. The problem addressed is the weakening of the family's function as the primary discipleship agent, due to parents' tendency to delegate spiritual responsibilities to the church and school. The method used is descriptive qualitative research with a library study approach, through the study of biblical texts and theological-educational literature. The results show that the family is a divine institution that precedes the church and school as a space for discipleship, as mandated in Deuteronomy 6:6-7. In the Indonesian context faced with the pressures of modernization, urbanization, and value shifts, Christian families need to be re-empowered as centers of discipleship through integrative spiritual habituation and strategic collaboration between family and church. This research affirms that effective discipleship does not begin from institutions, but from intimate relationships in households living in God's word.
MENYIKAPI MAKNA TEOLOGI KURBAN DAN KESELAMATAN DALAM IBADAH ISRAEL DI ERA MUSA DALAM KITAB IMAMAT
This research examines the meaning of the sacrifice and safety of the sacrifice of Israel in the time of Moses, found in the Book of Leviticus. The main purpose of this study is to understand how the role of the sacrifice helps the Israeli people in acquiring safety and atonement. Sacrifices such as sin, gratitude, and the meal aimed at improving the relationship between the people and the holy God, delivering sin, and purifying the people. Through these sacrifices, the people of Israel show obedience and gratitude to God, and accept salvation through the forgiveness of sins. Theological Theological of the Kingdom also has a close connection with Christian teachings, especially about the sacrifice of Jesus Christ who fulfills all sacrifices in the Old Testament. This research uses the Pantaka Study Method to understand how the sacrifice affects the spiritual life of Israel and how this concept affects the understanding of salvation in the current Christian teachings.
PERILAKU KONSUMSI SANTRI PONDOK PESANTREN DARUSSALAM SENGKUBANG DITINJAUDALAM PERSPEKTIF RELIGIUSITAS
Currently, more and more students or Islamic boarding school students are buying educational goods not because of their utility value, but because they are influenced by lifestyle, for an image that is directed and formed by the way of thinking of students or Islamic boarding school students who have been influenced by advertisements and models on television, infotainment shows, fashion magazines, celebrity lifestyles, environmental factors and various other forms of popular culture. The description of the consumption behavior of students at the Darussalam Sengkubang Mempawah Islamic Boarding School is interesting to study because in their teens, students at the Darussalam Sengkubang Mempawah Islamic Boarding School are often found to spend their money excessively not because of necessity. The approach used in this study is a qualitative approach, by trying to construct reality and understand something hidden behind the phenomena that have appeared on the surface. The results of the study show that the consumption behavior of students at the Darussalam Sengkubang Islamic Boarding School can be seen from spending on daily needs and ownership of clothes and others. The factors behind students' consumptive behavior are external factors including reference groups and the surrounding environment. While the internal factors of the institution are following friends and pride in appearance. In terms of daily needs, they prioritize fulfilling the desire to buy snacks and food outside the Islamic Boarding School that are more varied without any limits on spending their pocket money. While in terms of clothing, they have clothes that exceed the capacity of the wardrobe provided at the Islamic Boarding School because there are no limits on clothing ownership. So that in the end, consumer behavior or israf appears.
FILSAFAT AKHLAK DALAM PEMIKIRAN IBNU MISKAWAIH DAN AL-GHAZALI (STUDI KOMPARATIF)
One of the main missions in Islam is to perfect human morals. Morals are very important and fundamental, because with morals can be determined the measure of all human actions, good bad, right wrong, halal and haram. Humans without morals will lose their human dignity as the most noble creatures of Allah. In this case, Ibn Miskawaih and Al-Ghazali expressed their opinions regarding the Philosophy of Morals, having the same opinion regarding the investigation of Morals must begin with knowledge of the soul, its strength and even its characteristics. The type of research used is qualitative research which is library research. The primary data sources were obtained from the library books by Ibn Miskawaih "Towards the Perfection of Morals: The First Book of Daras Regarding the Philosophy of Ethics, and Al-Ghazali Ihya Ulumuddin, Menyikawat Rahasia Keajaiban Hati". This study uses a philosophical approach. In data management, the historical continuity method, analytical descriptive method, and data interpretation method were used. This study has produced conclusions. Morals according to Ibn Miskawaih are a condition of the human soul that spontaneously drives him to do an act without thinking and hesitation. While Morals according to Al-Ghazali are traits embedded in the soul from which actions arise easily without requiring prior consideration. The virtues of Morals consist of wisdom, simplicity, courage, and justice. Moral Education according to Ibn Miskawaih is education that is focused on leading humans in a better direction. While Moral Education according to Al-Ghazali is a process of forming an ideal personality.

TEOLOGI KRISTEN SEBAGAI FONDASI SPIRITUAL DALAM MEMBENTUK IMAN, KARAKTER, DAN KEPEMIMPINAN ORANG PERCAYA DI TENGAH PERUBAHAN ZAMAN
Christian theology is an essential spiritual foundation for shaping the faith, character, and leadership of believers amidst changing times marked by developments in science, technology, and socio-cultural dynamics. This article aims to examine the role of Christian theology as the foundation for building a solid faith, Christian character that reflects divine values, and spiritual leadership oriented toward God's will. The method used in this research is a qualitative method with a literature study approach, namely analyzing various relevant Christian theological literature to understand the function and implications of theology in the lives of believers. The results of the discussion indicate that Christian theology provides an epistemological, moral, and spiritual foundation that helps believers understand their identity, calling, and purpose in life. Theology also plays a role in shaping character through spiritual transformation and renewal of thought centered on God's Word. Furthermore, theology is the foundation for spiritual leadership that is imbued with integrity, service, and responsibility. Amid changing times, theology remains relevant because it provides direction, hope, and stability of faith.
DIALOG TEOLOGI DAN SOSIOLOGI KRISTEN DALAM MEMBACA REALITAS SOSIAL: IMAN, GEREJA, DAN PERGULATAN MANUSIA DI TENGAH PERUBAHAN MASYARAKAT KONTEMPORER
The rapid changes in contemporary society present complex social dynamics and often create tension in human life. Globalization, pluralism, and the transformation of social values ​​demand new ways of reading the relationship between faith, the church, and social reality. This article aims to examine the dialogue between Christian theology and sociology as a reflective approach to understanding social change and the human struggles within it. The research method used is a qualitative approach with library research, sourced from relevant and authoritative works on Christian theology and sociology in Indonesian. The analysis is conducted descriptively and interpretively by bringing together theological and sociological perspectives in a dialogue. The results of the study indicate that Christian faith functions as a hermeneutic lens in interpreting social reality critically and meaningfully. The church is understood as a social subject with an ethical responsibility towards humanitarian issues, injustice, and the crisis of the meaning of life. The dialogue between theology and sociology enriches the church's understanding of the signs of the times and encourages reflective and transformative social engagement.
AJARAN TASAWUF DALAM PENGGABUNGAN TAREKAT QADARIYAH DAN NAQSYABANDIYAH PADA DZIKIR DALAM KITAB FATHUL AL-ARIFIN
This writing discusses the teachings of Sufism in the Qadiriyah Naqsyabandiyah tariqa within the manuscript titled Fathu Al-Arifin, authored by Syekh Ahmad Khatib Sambas on 9 Jumadil Awwal 1287 Hijriyah. In addition to addressing Sufi teachings, this writing also describes the physical condition of the manuscript, known in philological studies as codicology. This research is descriptive-qualitative in nature, employing a literature study method for data collection. The approach used in this research is the codicological approach. The results of this research reveal the presence of procedures (zikir guidelines) imbued with Sufi nuances in the Fathu Al-Arifin manuscript. These zikir guidelines are embodied in the practices of the Qadiriyah Naqsyabandiyah tariqa. Furthermore, the Fathu Al-Arifin manuscript also contains information on bai'at and talkin in the Qadiriyah Naqsyabandiyah tariqa. Syekh Ahmad Khatib Sambas combined two tariqas (Qadiriyah and Naqsyabandiyah) into one, namely the Qadiriyah Naqsyabandiyah tariqa, resulting in two zikir techniques in the Qadiriyah Naqsyabandiyah tariqa: nafi isbat (loud vocal zikir) and sirri ism dzat (silent heart-based zikir). The Qadiriyah tariqa practices jahri nafi isbat zikir (loud vocal), while the Naqsyabandiyah tariqa practices sirri ism dzat zikir (silent in the heart). There are four zikir methods in the Qadiriyah Naqsyabandiyah tariqa: perfection of suluk, adab, zikir, and muraqabah.
KETERBATASAN FOKUS PADA DIMENSI ESKATOLOGIS DALAM MISIOLOGI KONTEMPORER: REFLEKSI 2 KORINTUS 5:18 19 DAN TEORI MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION
This research aims to integrate 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 with the theory of ministry of reconciliation to construct a missiological framework that balances the dimensions of yet and not yet in contemporary mission. Contemporary missiology, particularly the work of Nelus Niemandt, pays great attention to present life through deep contextualization and deep incarnation, but the eschatological dimension and mission as a ministry of reconciliation receive inadequate attention. Method: The research employs a qualitative approach with intertextual exegesis of 2 Corinthians 5:18-19, systematic theological analysis of the theory of ministry of reconciliation, and critical evaluation of Niemandt's missiology. Exegesis demonstrates that reconciliation is God's definitive soteriological action while continuing toward eschatological consummation. The theory of ministry of reconciliation from Schreiter, Volf, and Langmead affirms that reconciliation encompasses vertical, horizontal, and ecological dimensions inseparable from liberation and restorative justice. Niemandt's missiology, though valuable in contextualization, shows limitations in integrating redemptive and eschatological perspectives. Integration produces a holistic missiological framework balancing present transformation with eschatological hope for cosmic renewal as the telos of God's salvific plan.
MENIMBA PENGHARAPAN DARI PENDERITAAN TAFSIRAN IMAN ATAS RATAPAN YEREMIA 3 AYAT 31–33 TENTANG KASIH SETIA ALLAH YANG TAK PERNAH BENAR-BENAR PERGI
This article examines the theological significance of Lamentations of Jeremiah 3:31–33 by highlighting God's faithful love amidst the people's suffering. The text of Lamentations of Jeremiah arose from the context of the destruction of Jerusalem, which created a crisis of faith, social, and spirituality for the people of Judah. ​​In this situation, suffering is easily understood as a sign of God's rejection and absence. However, through a theological study of Lamentations of Jeremiah 3:31–33, this article shows that God's rejection is not eternal, His mercy continues to operate amidst hardship, and He does not desire to oppress humanity. This research uses a qualitative approach with library methods and theological hermeneutic interpretation of relevant Indonesian-language Bible texts and Old Testament literature. The results of the study indicate that the suffering in Lamentations of Jeremiah does not negate the covenant relationship between God and His people, but rather becomes a space for profound reflection on faith. God's faithful love is understood as a reality that transcends the subjective experience of suffering and becomes the basis for mature and realistic hope. This article emphasizes that true faith does not avoid lamentation but instead finds hope in it.
LITERASI RELASIONAL BERBASIS 1 KORINTUS 13:4-8 UNTUK PENCEGAHAN TOXIC RELATIONSHIP: PENDIDIKAN KASIH AGAPE SEBAGAI STANDAR HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP PADA PEMUDA KRISTEN
The inability of Christian youth to distinguish between healthy relationships and toxic relationships is a major cause of the high rates of intimate partner violence in dating relationships. This research aims to develop a relational literacy education model based on 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 to prevent toxic relationships and promote healthy relationships among Christian youth. The study employs a qualitative methodology using literature review design, collecting and analyzing over 30 academic sources through thematic content analysis. Research findings demonstrate that agape love in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 provides a clear theological standard for evaluating relational health, characterized by patience, generosity, non-jealousy, and selflessness. The developed relational literacy education model integrates three learning dimensions: (1) theological consciousness and critical evaluation, (2) communication skills and boundary-setting, and (3) emotional-spiritual awareness. This model can be implemented through youth discipleship programs, pre-marital counseling, and support groups within churches. This research contributes theoretically and practically to the development of pastoral counseling and Christian religious education in preventing relational violence among youth.
KECERDASAN EMOSIONAL DAN SPIRITUAL DALAM KEPEMIMPINAN KRISTEN: ANALISIS INTEGRATIF TERHADAP FILIPI 2:1-11 DAN TEORI GOLEMAN UNTUK EFEKTIVITAS PEMIMPIN GEREJA KONTEMPORER
Contemporary church leadership faces an effectiveness crisis characterized by internal conflicts, low congregational trust, and weak relational competencies of leaders. This study aims to analyze and integrate emotional and spiritual intelligence based on Goleman's theory with the kenosis leadership paradigm in Philippians 2:1-11 to formulate a holistic Christian leadership framework. Using qualitative methods with integrative biblical-theological analysis, this research explores Philippians 2:1-11 through in-depth exegesis and integrates it with Goleman's emotional-spiritual intelligence theory through systematic literature review. The results show that Christ's kenosis exemplifies all five of Goleman's emotional intelligence competencies perfectly: self-awareness without arrogance, extraordinary self-management, intrinsic transcendent motivation, profound empathy, and transformative social skills, with the spiritual dimension as foundation. The resulting leadership framework emphasizes holistic development including spiritual formation, biblical self-awareness, mature emotional management, transcendent motivation, Christian empathy, and trained relational skills. Practical implications include integrating emotional-spiritual intelligence development in church leadership training curriculum through coaching, supervision, and periodic spiritual renewal.
INTEGRASI MODEL SERVE DALAM KEPEMIMPINAN GEREJA MULTI-GENERASI: ANALISIS TERHADAP TITUS 2:1-8 DAN TANTANGAN KEPEMIMPINAN LINTAS GENERASI DI GEREJA INDONESIA KONTEMPORER
Churches in Indonesia face complex challenges in managing generational diversity that triggers conflict, miscommunication, and exodus of younger generations due to monogenerational leadership dominance. This research aims to develop a church leadership framework based on the SERVE model capable of integrating the strengths of each generation, facilitating intergenerational dialogue, transferring wisdom, empowering young leadership without marginalizing seniors, and building a shared vision that transcends generational preferences. The theories used include the SERVE model (Spiritual, Effective, Relational, Visionary leadership, and External relations) from Karl Inge Tangen, cross-generational leadership principles in Titus 2:1-8, as well as concepts of intergenerational leadership, servant leadership, and transformational leadership. The research method uses a qualitative approach with library research through content analysis of biblical texts, theological leadership literature, and previous research. The results show that the integration of five dimensions of the SERVE model with the principles of Titus 2:1-8 produces a comprehensive transformative leadership framework: Spiritual leadership as the foundation of communion with God, Effective leadership as an inclusive system, Relational leadership as the formation of authentic intergenerational community, Visionary leadership as articulation of transcendent shared vision, and External relations as holistic mission mobilization which proves capable of making the church a healthy, dynamic, and relevant community for all generations.
PERAN ETIKA SOSIAL DALAM KEHIDUPAN DAN PELAYANAN GEREJA
This article aims to examine the role of social ethics in life and in the dynamics of the Church’s real ministry as a manifestation of contextual and transformative Christian faith. The Church in its entirety is called not only as a spiritual community, but also as a moral agent that brings the values of the Kingdom of God into this increasingly complex social reality. Using a qualitative approach through literature study, this research then examines how Christian social ethics plays a role in shaping the orientation of the Church’s ministry in responding to issues of injustice, poverty, moral crisis, and social realities that are quite preoccupying to many elements. Theological reflections based on Matthew 25:35-40 then became a reference in understanding the Church’s calling to continue serving Christ through service to others, especially marginalized groups. The results of the study show that Christian social ethics, in its function as a bridge between faith and practice, is a means of renewing personal spirituality, strengthening the integrity of the Church’s ministry, and encouraging social transformation that is just. Thus, the Church’s ministry oriented towards the application of social ethics is not merely a philanthropic act, but a tangible, prophetic, and living testimony of faith that is relevant in the midst of the dynamics of modern society today.
MAKNA NILAI-NILAI ETIKA KRISTEN DALAM IMPLEMENTASIKAN LINGKUNGAN HIDUP
The purpose of this writing is to show that Christians have a responsibility to uphold Christian ethical values in the implementation of environmental stewardship. In conducting this study, a qualitative research method is employed. To seek answers to the problems described, the author uses a qualitative writing method through a library research approach, namely a study of the Holy Scriptures and relevant literature. The approach used in this research is Qualitative Biblical Theology. Biblical theologians seek to understand the meaning of biblical texts for their original audience (meant) as well as the factual meaning of those texts for contemporary readers (mean or application). The results of this study indicate that Christian concern for environmental preservation is very low, and nature is not fully regarded as God’s creation. The environmental crisis faced by modern humanity is a direct result of “unethical” environmental management. This means that humans manage natural resources with little regard for ethical considerations. Thus, it can be said that there is an ethical or moral crisis. Humanity shows a lack of concern for norms and is driven more by personal interests. The ethics referred to here are not merely ethics in a broad or general sense.
KESADARAN EKOLOGIS DALAM IMAN KRISTEN: TANGGUNG JAWAB ETIS TERHADAP LINGKUNGAN HIDUP
Environmental degradation has become a pressing global challenge that calls for ethical responses from all sectors of society, including the Christian faith community. This article aims to examine ecological awareness within the Christian faith and the ethical responsibility of believers toward the environment. This study employs a qualitative research method with a literature review approach, drawing on biblical texts, theological sources, and scholarly discussions on ecotheology and Christian ethics. The findings indicate that the Christian faith fundamentally teaches human responsibility as God’s creation to care for and preserve the natural world. The concept of stewardship emphasizes that excessive exploitation of nature contradicts God’s will. Therefore, ecological awareness is not merely a social or environmental concern but an integral part of Christian faith and practice. This article affirms that churches and believers have a strategic role in fostering ethical attitudes, ecological spirituality, and concrete actions to protect environmental sustainability as an expression of obedience to God.
NILAI, GAGASAN, STRATEGI, DAN IMPLEMENTASI PENDIDIKAN MODERASI BERAGAMA DALAM KEHIDUPAN SEHARI-HARI DAN DI LINGKUNGAN KAMPUS
Religious moderation is an important idea in maintaining the harmony of the lives of the pluralistic Indonesian people. Diversity of religions, cultures, and views of life is the wealth of the nation, but it also has the potential to cause conflict if it is not accompanied by mutual respect and balanced religious understanding. Therefore, religious moderation education is the main strategy in forming a religious attitude that is fair, tolerant, and rejects all forms of extremism. Religious moderation education not only emphasizes the aspect of understanding religious teachings, but is also oriented towards the formation of moderate character and behavior in daily life. Religious moderation values such as tolerance, justice, balance, and national commitment need to be internalized through a systematic and sustainable educational process. In daily life, religious moderation education plays a role in creating harmonious and peaceful social relationships. Meanwhile, in the campus environment, religious moderation education is the foundation for building an inclusive, dialogical, and free academic climate from radicalism. With the implementation of the right educational strategy, religious moderation is expected to be able to strengthen unity and maintain the integrity of the nation in the midst of diversity.

The presence of digital technology has fundamentally transformed the face of Christian family life, creating new challenges while opening opportunities in the implementation of Christian Religious Education within the household environment. This study examines how Christian families can carry out their educational function in shaping children's spiritual character amid the continuous development of the digital technology wave. Through a descriptive qualitative approach, this study finds that Christian families are in a challenging situation between utilizing technological advances and maintaining biblical faith values. The research results indicate that parents require a comprehensive approach that combines intensive accompaniment, understanding of digital technology based on Christian values, and the utilization of technology as a means of teaching faith. Thus, the main findings show that family spiritual resilience greatly depends on parents' ability to create a healthy digital environment, where technology does not replace but rather enriches spiritual communication within the family. This research recommends a comprehensive approach that integrates theological principles with wisdom in using digital technology, so that Christian families can become a strong fortress of faith for generations born and raised in the digital era.
ECO SUFISM: BENTUK RELASI TUHAN DAN ALAM DALAM MENJAGA LINGKUNGAN DARI KERUSAKAN
This paper discusses eco-Sufism, a concept that bridges Islamic spirituality with environmental awareness. Amidst the global environmental crisis, an approach based on spirituality and ethics has become essential. Eco-Sufism views nature as a manifestation of God's beauty that must be preserved, adhering to the principle of wahdatul wujud, which sees the universe as a reflection of the Divine existence. Humans, as caliphs on earth, have a mandate to care for His creation with love. The biggest challenge for eco-Sufism today is materialistic lifestyles and secular views, but its growth potential is wide open through increased spiritual awareness and Islamic movements oriented towards environmental preservation. The implementation of eco-Sufism is reflected in a simple lifestyle and increased awareness of the importance of ecology, inspired by figures such as Rabi'ah al-Adawiyah and Jalaluddin Rumi, as well as the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad SAW.Eco-Sufism provides spiritual encouragement for concrete action in protecting the environment and combating the consumerist culture that exacerbates environmental damage. This approach invites us to feel connected to nature as part of a cosmic family under God's love, and encourages the emergence of a strong environmental ethic. This study seeks to present data and analysis that reinforce these ideas.
