Pengenalan akan Allah memengaruhi seseorang hidup di dalam penyembahannya. Israel yang menyembah anak lembu emas, sebelumnya hidup di dalam kemegahan yang fana dengan memakai perhiasan-perhiasan (Kel. 33:6). Bagaimana seharusnya kita hidup merefleksikan pengenalan akan Allah yang melewatkan kegemilangan-Nya kepada Musa? Disinilah kita mengerti apa artinya kebaikan TUHAN. Kebaikan yang bukan bersifat menetap melainkan yang lewat/transient/ passing. Kemuliaan TUHAN yang adalah kebaikan harus bersifat transient di dunia yang fana ini, jika tidak kemuliaan tersebut akan menghanguskan seluruh ciptaan ini. Demikianlah kebaikan yang orang Kristen hidupi di dunia ini. Impresi pada orang yang menerima kebaikan pun harus bersifat transient. Di dalam melakukan kebaikan yang transient inilah, kita mengikuti jejak kebaikan Tuhan yang telah dinyatakan kepada kita. Semoga di tengah pandemi yang kita harapkan berlalu, nafas kehidupan kita yang transient boleh menjadi passing goodness bagi orang lain. Kehidupan Yesus di dunia ini begitu cepat berlalu, hanya tiga puluh tiga dan setengah tahun dilaluinya. Namun Yesus meninggalkan kalimat terakhir yang menguatkan para murid dan kita di percakapan terakhir-Nya: Ego Vici Mundum/ Aku telah mengalahkan dunia (Yoh 16:33).

Christian teachers do not naturally connect theology with their professional practice. This article explores the reasons for this, which all have to do with how theory functions in teaching. Theory will mainly come into focus when practical problems arise, but theological concepts are not the first to come into view. The article states that tensions that teachers experience in practice are triggers for theological reflection. This is in coherence with the call for Christians to test and discern what is the will of God (Rom. 12:2). Teachers are supposed to be able to reflect on three dimensions where tensions can be recognized. The first is the response to general cultural ideas. The second is the call for a collective theological vision in school teams. Finally, existential tensions find solutions in theological language. Prospective Christian teachers should have training in to reflect on those three levels.

In this article, the author argues of the significance of Psalm singing in Calvin's Liturgy of the Lord's Supper. Metrical psalm singing is one of Calvin's contributions towards the changes in reformation worship. Furthermore, his emphasis on its use in the Liturgy of the Lord's Supper is an important retrieval from the wider diversity in many contemporary church worship. Throughout the article, the author endorses a creative use of psalm singing in the church. Such practice must not be forgotten that has been formative to the reformation in the past.

Meskipun hampir seperempat abad Indonesia memasuki Orde Reformasi, otoritarianisme tetap perlu diwaspadai. Corak dan laku otoritarianisme di belahan dunia manapun lazim menumpahkan darah daripada membangun perdamaian. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyingkapkan sikap tegas penolakan Yesus terhadap otoritarianisme dalam pemerintahan. Sejak kemerdekaan Indonesia, otoritarianisme terjadi pada masa Orde Baru. Selama 32 tahun, pemerintahan ini menekan perkembangan demokrasi yang juga berdampak pada ranah ekonomi, pendidikan, kesehatan, hingga keagamaan. Dalam penelitian ini, penulis menemukan kewaspadaan dan ketakutan yang berlebihan terhadap kehadiran model pemerintahan theocracy ala Zealot melalui isu Islamic state dan Islamic society telah menimbulkan loyalitas mutlak dan keberpihakan tanpa reserve dari Gereja terhadap Pemerintah. Penulis berargumen bahwa gereja, sebagai lembaga rohani, telah “dipolitikkan”, selain gereja telah kehilangan fungsi kritis dan korektifnya.

Cornelis van der Kooi
The title of this contribution is purposefully ambivalent. It can be read as a rhetorical question: when there are so many good reasons to join the church of Rome, why should Protestants refrain from taking this step? The most important historical reason for the Reformation was the state of the church: the authority of the office, and the episcopacy were spoiled by abuse of that power. The access to Christ and his grace were blocked. To what degree is this reproach still viable? In recent years, from a Reformed and evangelical perspective, there have been many changes in that Church that have caused a rapprochement, and that have prompted many Protestants to become Roman Catholic. However, the title can also be read differently: as an argumentation against joining the Roman Catholic Church. Accordingly, this chapter will elaborate upon both possibilities and offer a number of remarks on the choice itself.

Maka sesungguhnya manusia belum memiliki identitas di hadapan Tuhan sampai ia diberikan nama. Maka penyunatan dan penamaan memiliki sifat nubuatan yang baru digenapi oleh Yesus yang menjadi identitas sejati akan siapakah manusia, setelah penantian panjang akan keturunan perempuan, keturunan Abraham, dan keturunan Daud. Hanya mereka yang di dalam Kristus-lah yang akan memiliki identitas sejati, nama baru yang Tuhan berikan (Why. 3:17). Nama kita masing-masing belum final sampai kita disempurnakan seperti Kristus

This article tries to further the suggestion of utilizing the concept of common grace popularized by Abraham Kuyper (1837-1920) for facing changes in hermeneutics. Hermeneutics has changed in many ways because of the influences of modernism and postmodernism. In contrast to more liberal theologians who promote those changes actively, evangelical theologians tend to response negatively or hesitantly. After describing briefly those hermeneutical changes, this article investigates Kuyper’s doctrine of common grace. As conclusion, it provides some suggestions on to what extent the concept of common grace can be utilized for reconsidering changes in hermeneutics as favourable opportunities to develop more the field of hermeneutics.

Artikel ini merupakan tinjauan perbandingan teologi agama-agama menurut pandangan Lesslie Newbigin dan Johan Herman Bavinck. Kendati kedua misionaris ini adalah misionaris yang berakar dalam tradisi teologi Reformed, keduanya memiliki pandangan yang berbeda dalam menganalisis teologi agama-agama. Newbigin dalam menganalisis agama-agama cenderung negatif, sehingga Newbigin menyatakan suatu dorongan yang bersifat mendesak untuk memberitakan Injil. Sedangkan Bavinck cenderung positif dalam menganalisis agama-agama dan tidak memberikan dorongan secara mendesak dalam mewartakan Injil. Di bagian akhir artikel ini, penulis memberikan kesimpulan bahwa pendapat dari masing-masing tokoh misionaris hendaknya direngkuh untuk mendapatkan pemahaman yang lebih utuh dan saling melengkapi dalam menganalisis teologi agama-agama.

Doubting theological science and limiting the primacy of theology has been a subject of debate among scientists and theologians for centuries. The study aims to answer scientists who doubt theology as a science and warn theologians who only recognize theology as science but do not recognize theology as ascience. To achieve this goal, researchers use content analysis methods. The results found that, on the one hand, theology is science essentially, not because of the recognition of theologians, but because of its understanding, characteristics, activities, and dimensions as a science. On the other hand, in accordance with its nature, theology is ascience because of its understanding and presupposition, position, adequacy, certainty, and superiority over science. These findings confirm that theology is indeed the queen of all science. If theology is recognized as science and ascience, scientists and theologians will realize knowledge and life that is entirely integrative.

Pieter Kurnia, Benyamin Intan
Green mengklaim monism jauh lebih konsisten dibandingkan pemisahan tubuh dan jiwa atau dikenal dengan dualistis. Green mengatakan manusia adalah manusia utuh dan tidak memiliki aspek metafisik. Segala aspek “metafisik” seperti keinginan, kehendak dan setiap keputusan terjadi karena dua hal. Pertama, adanya reaksi kimia di dalam otak atau akibat dari konsep neuroscience dan kedua, aspek relasi manusia. Green berusaha membuktikan hal tersebut dengan menggunakan teks-teks Alkitab dan pendekatan studi kata. Namun pandangan ini bermasalah karena menyebabkan identitas manusia hilang ketika mengalami kematian dan menjadi pribadi yang baru ketika dibangkitkan. Oleh sebab itu, artikel ini akan mengevaluasi klaim-klaim Green mengenai monism. Adapun evaluasi ini akan dikaji dan dibahas berdasarkan sudut pandang Reformed.
