Abstract

Modern scholars of narrative, such as Ninian Smart, Paul G. Hiebert, Charles Taylor, James W. Sire, and James K.A. Smith, affirm the centrality of narrative for shaping the identity and spirituality of individuals and society. The power of narrative attends the dimension of the imaginal, which is manifest in mythical stories. Such scholarship draws primarily upon sociological/anthropological approaches if not, more simply, a humanities-oriented disciplinarity. While maintaining an appreciation for such precedent studies, this article aims to make a discursive contribution to the subject at hand—a contribution that considers the discourse on narrative and mythical stories from biblical studies perspective, given the significance of what it means to perceive the human person in complex and holistic fashion. The author holds the centrality of the scriptural text for determining the life and faith of God’s people, given that the text comprises God’s narrative: as foundation, as memory, and as their mythical framework. Utilizing Walter Brueggemann’s notion of the “prophetic imagination,” this article proposes that the metaphor of Scripture serves as a model for encountering the reality of contemporary life, surrounded as each one is by narrative contestations.

Abstract

This article focuses discussion on the kitchen as a space and place in the socio-religio-cultural practice of the Minahasan people. One customary trait of the Minahasan people is their penchant for parties, wherein having a meal together plays an important part. All that is served on the dining table starts from the kitchen. Therefore, the kitchen is a place and space that is integrated with the social order. This article intends to demonstrate how the kitchen serves not only as a place for culinary activities, but it also functions as a space whereby God’s presence is reflected in personal, family, and communal life. Out of the theological reconstruction of its meaning, we see how the kitchen is an important part of efforts to maintain kinship, community relations, as well as hospitality, all as praxis that stems from experiencing God’s presence.

Abstract

The death of a family member often leaves deep sorrow. Because of that, in various cultures, there are mechanisms of consolation as also found in Aluk Toyolo. However, these mechanisms find occasional opposition within Christianity when seen as inconsistent with the teachings of the Bible. A church may even impose sanctions on congregants who continue to observe them. Such a situation presents an obvious dilemma for those abiding by two traditions or two texts, namely ancestral culture and Christian tradition. Known for their heritage of distinct death rites, Mamasa-Christians experience this very dilemma. Although the Mamasa Toraja Church (GTM) at the synod level has adopted a number of prohibitions, some of the prohibited rites are still practiced openly—a dilemma experienced by congregants and church, alike. So, what can be done to minimize this dilemma? This article proposes a dialogue in the realm of two texts hermeneutics called Cross-Textual Hermeneutics. From this dialogue, a number of points of contact can be found between the notion of death in the Mamasa ancestral culture and the concept of death in the writing of Paul the Apostle. While differences between the two traditions exist, there are also enriching differences to be found. Through such a dialogue, the understanding of the death in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can be enriched by means of considering the death rite in Aluk Toyolo.

Abstract

The position of a Weberian social theory strongly correlates capitalism with Calvinism. As such, one might expect Reformed (Calvinist) theology to stand in principled opposition to Marxist ideology. Using comparative literary method, this study assesses such a Weberian thesis by placing Calvinism and Marxism in dialectical relation. Modeling a Calvinistic theological perspective, the intellectual and political oeuvre of Herman Bavinck presents an ostensible rejection of Marxism. Meanwhile, this paper also considers the analytical tradition represented by Karl Marx, whose thinking centers economic productivity amid a radical reading of human history. Presenting a theoretical contrast, Bavinck grounds his theological method on revelation, while Marx relies on the material conditions of economic activity to scaffold his philosophical thought. Despite considerable methodological and epistemological differences, however, the theoretical groundings and approaches of both Bavinck and Marx may comprise a point of synthesis within the realm of practical action, or praxis. In doing so, Bavinck’s Reformed commitments can frame an orientation to Marxian emancipatory praxis, whereas Marx’s critical theorization can offer practical concreteness to a Bavinckian theology. A collaborative-complementary resolution to the apparent ideological contradiction is, therefore, put forward on the basis of praxis.

Abstract

Harm done to the environment and violence perpetrated against women prove to be entangled realities, insofar as both women and nature suffer interlocking experiences of exploitation and oppression. Movements advocating for women’s rights to an improved quality of life are inextricably linked with the survival of the earth itself, thereby birthing notions of ecofeminism that thematically center environmental conservation as emblematic of widespread struggle. In our paper, we show how women’s movements in various parts of the world—such as the indigenous peoples of Indonesia—emerge from a sense of responsibility to nature as well as affective commitments to sustain life. The breadth of Western, Latin American, and South Asian Indian (and other Asian) ecofeminist thought—from Sallie McFague, Rosemary Radford Ruether, and Elisabeth A. Johnson, to Ivone Gebara, Aruna Gnanadason, and others—are manifest in the philosophical notion of the motherland. The very concept of Mother Earth begets a personification of “Indonesian Earth” (bumi Indonesia) wherein nature becomes both subject and source of life. Reinforcing such a personification is our reading of Job 12:7-10, which instructs humankind to hear and learn from nature in order to gain wisdom. Our construction of an ecofeminist theology will inform, in turn, the protection of nature.

Abstract

As the Catholic Church’s response to the COVID-19 crisis in Indonesia has changed over time, Yogyakarta—which is under the Archdiocese of Semarang (Keuskupan Agung Semarang, or KAS)—has seen a significant shift in the Church’s approach. During the first pandemic phase (2020), the KAS was more focused on offering short-term assistance, such as distributing face masks, providing food or meals, and organizing other charitable activities. But by the second period of the COVID-19 pandemic (2021), the KAS shifted to more comprehensive approaches, specifically the opening of self-isolation shelters for COVID-19 patients. This article demonstrates how providing shelter has become a new model for the Church to symbolize its deep solidarity with the afflicted in a time of pandemic. The qualitative data collection methods employed include interviews with several key informants, with details corroborated by information from the internet and other mass media.

Abstract

The Lord’s Supper is probably one of the most vital elements in Christianity. However, churches nowadays witness two extreme attitudes in approaching the Lord’s Supper: one that over-sacralizes the ceremony as something mystical or magical while the other simply takes it as a ritual or memorial. While both notions are not wrong in some sense, the ceremony in fact falls somewhere in the middle. Eucharist involved two important dimensions: it is a meal, and it is a “sacrificial” meal. The ordinary and the religious aspects both exist within the eucharist. In the records of the Last Supper, Jesus ate the Passover “meal” with His disciples and reinstituted it. From then on, the early church celebrated the Lord’s Supper, gathering and breaking bread in houses, which was then known as agape—a love feast. However, what we witness in today’s Lord’s Supper is nowhere close to the original Last Supper or the early Christian agape feast. It becomes a ceremony without a meal; a celebration without a feast. It is ironic that the so-called “supper” only involves a wafer-like bread and a really small cup of wine. It is the absence of a “meal” that this ceremony becomes more and more detached. The Lord’s Supper becomes difficult to understand because of the emphasis on its sacredness. The ceremony remains a ritual as the “sacred” is separated from the “secular”. It is the contention of this study that the separation of the love feast from the ceremony of the Lord’s Supper that render it meaningless. This study aims to uncover the context and history of the Lord’s Supper, especially the significance of a feast or meal in the eucharist, and how it was lost in the course of history. We will see that it is in the context of a meal that the early church celebrates the eucharist, a thanksgiving in the form of a love feast. It is in the context of a meal that Jesus introduced His body and blood in the Last Supper. It is in the context of a meal that God commanded the Israelites to observe the Passover. When we approach the Lord’s Table without a proper meal, the eating of the “bread” and “wine” without context becomes a ritual without reality. Finally, suggestions are given to better approach the Lord’s Table, and hopefully regain the meaning and spirit of the ceremony.
