Dekonstruksi YOLO: Carpe Diem Pengkhotbah 11:9 atas Kecemasan Eksistensial Generasi Muda
type: item
description: The cultural phenomenon of YOLO (You Only Live Once) reflects the mindset of the younger generation, which emphasises freedom and prioritises temporary pleasures. This gives rise to anxiety due to a loss of direction in life, which is exacerbated by the dominance of internet technology, social media and digital culture. The church and Christian education face a major challenge in reinterpreting the value of life among a generation that is thirsty for meaning but trapped in a cycle of instant gratification. The phenomenon among young people highlights the need for theological reflection on the value of Carpe Diem in the light of the Christian faith. This study aims to deconstruct the understanding of YOLO through a hermeneutic reading of Ecclesiastes 11:9 in order to rediscover the spiritual meaning in freedom of life. It uses a descriptive qualitative method with a hermeneutic approach and literature study. It can be concluded that the YOLO spirit in the culture of the digital generation reflects an existential crisis that arises from a loss of meaning in life and spiritual orientation amid the tide of hedonism and technology. Through theological deconstruction of Ecclesiastes 11:9, it is found that true Carpe Diem is not unlimited freedom, but joy lived in awareness of God and moral responsibility. The implications of this study emphasise the importance of church education oriented towards the formation of reflective spirituality, spiritual resilience, and digital wisdom for today's young generation. Abstrak Fenomena budaya YOLO (You Only Live Once) mencerminkan cara berpikir generasi muda yang menekankan kebebasan dan memprioritaskan kenikmatan sementara. Sehingga memunculkan kecemasan akibat kehilangan arah hidup yang diperkuat oleh dominasi teknologi internet, media sosial dan budaya digital. Gereja dan pendidikan Kristen menghadapi tantangan besar untuk menafsirkan ulang nilai hidup di tengah generasi yang haus makna, namun terjebak dalam siklus kepuasan sesaat…

Kepemimpinan Melayani dalam Perspektif Eklesiologi Komunio John D. Zizioulas bagi Gereja di Indonesia
type: item
description: This paper analyzes servant leadership in the perspective of John D. Zizioulas’ ecclesiology of communion as a theological proposal for churches in Indonesia. This study is a qualitative library-based research employing normative and correlative theological approaches. The analysis engages Zizioulas’ thought on communion and perichoresis and places it in dialogue with Christ’s hospitality and servant leadership within the contemporary challenges faced by Indonesian churches. The discussion shows that the ecclesiology of communion understands the church as a fellowship rooted in the relational life of the Triune God, while perichoresis provides a dialogical, participatory, and non-dominative relational paradigm for ecclesial life. Within this framework, Christ’s hospitality functions as a bridge between the church’s liturgical identity and its social praxis, whereas servant leadership becomes the practical embodiment of communion. In the Indonesian context, marked by religious and cultural plurality, social fragmentation, and pastoral challenges, this model offers a constructive direction for the church to become a community that welcomes, restores, and empowers. Therefore, this paper argues that servant leadership grounded in the ecclesiology of communion and enriched by Christ’s hospitality offers a relevant theological contribution to the renewal of the church in Indonesia. Abstrak Tulisan ini menganalisis kepemimpinan melayani dalam perspektif eklesiologi komunio John D. Zizioulas sebagai tawaran teologis bagi gereja di Indonesia. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif berbasis studi pustaka dengan pendekatan teologis normatif dan korelatif. Analisis dilakukan terhadap pemikiran Zizioulas mengenai komunio dan perikoresis, serta dialognya dengan konsep hospitalitas Kristus dan kepemimpinan melayani dalam konteks tantangan gereja di Indonesia. Hasil pembahasan menunjukkan bahwa eklesiologi komunio menempatkan gereja sebagai persekutuan yang berakar pada rel…

Suksesi Kepemimpinan Gereja dalam Penggembalaan Monarkhi: Kritik Teologi atas Dimensi Etis-Teologis
type: item
description: Church leadership succession is a crucial issue in ensuring continuity of service, stability of pastoral care, and the sustainability of the church's mission amid the dynamics of modern society. Monarchical leadership practices that place a single figure in power often pose ethical and theological challenges, especially when leadership transitions are not carried out transparently. Unclear succession procedures have the potential to cause internal conflict and weaken the integrity of church ministry. This phenomenon can be seen in various cases of churches facing succession turmoil due to a lack of ethical-theological principles to guide them. This study aims to analyse the ethical and theological dimensions of church leadership succession practices based on monarchical pastoral care. The research method used is qualitative with a literature study approach. This study concludes that church leadership succession from a biblical theological perspective emphasises the importance of leadership based on moral and spiritual principles. The monarchical pastoral model offers advantages in terms of continuity of service, but also presents problems if the succession practice is not transparent and fair. Therefore, theological criticism of monarchical practices emphasises the need for a structured ethical-theological approach to ensure the continuity of the church's mission and the integrity of pastoral care. Abstrak Suksesi kepemimpinan gereja menjadi isu krusial dalam memastikan kesinambungan pelayanan, stabilitas penggembalaan, dan keberlangsungan misi gereja di tengah dinamika masyarakat modern. Praktik kepemimpinan monarkhi yang menempatkan figur tunggal seringkali menimbulkan tantangan etis dan teologis, terutama ketika transisi kepemimpinan tidak dijalankan secara transparan. Ketidakjelasan prosedur suksesi berpotensi menimbulkan konflik internal dan melemahkan integritas pelayanan gereja. Fenomena ini terlihat pada berbagai kasus gereja yang menghadapi gejolak suksesi …

Pembelajaran Kontekstual dalam Pendidikan Teologi: Upaya Memperkuat Relevansi dan Aplikasi Iman di Era Modern
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the integration of Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) in theological education and its implications for the application of faith. This study employed a qualitative approach with a conceptual library research approach. Data were obtained from relevant books and scientific journal articles and analyzed using content analysis techniques and a thematic approach. The results indicate that CTL has significant relevance in bridging the gap between theological understanding and the practice of faith, and is structurally aligned with the principles of contextual theology. The findings also revealed that the integration of CTL and contextual theology produces a learning model that connects theological texts and reflections on faith with the context of life. Therefore, CTL functions not only as a learning strategy but also as a pedagogical framework for developing contextual, reflective, and applicable theological education. In addition, the implementation of CTL encourages students to actively engage in critical reflection on social and spiritual realities within their communities. Furthermore, this approach contributes to the formation of holistic theological learning that is transformative, participatory, and relevant to contemporary challenges faced by faith communities. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis integrasi pembelajaran kontekstual dalam pendidikan teologi serta implikasinya terhadap aplikasi iman. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis studi kepustakaan yang bersifat analisis konseptual. Data diperoleh dari buku dan artikel jurnal ilmiah yang relevan, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan teknik analisis isi dan pendekatan tematik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran kontekstual memiliki relevansi yang signifikan dalam menjembatani kesenjangan antara pemahaman teologis dan praktik iman, serta memiliki kesesuaian struktural dengan prinsip teologi kontekstual. Temuan dari penelitian ini jug…

Patung Anak Lembu Emas: Penyembahan Berhala dalam Perjanjian Lama dan Relevansinya terhadap Fenomena Berhala Modern
type: item
description: This study analyzes the relationship between the worship of the golden calf in Exodus 32 and the manifestation of idolatry in modern society. In contrast to previous research that generally focused on the prohibition of idolatry or the evaluation of biblical figures, this study offers a comparative analysis of the transformation of the forms and mechanisms of idolatry from the context of ancient Israel to the contemporary era. The study uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach to the biblical text, Old Testament theological sources, and studies of modern idolatry. The results show that the golden calf does not merely represent the worship of a physical object, but rather reflects human efforts to control and visualize the divine presence according to their existential needs. The same pattern is found in modern idolatry through the materialism of technology, power, social status, and narcissism that serve as the main objects of human reliance. These findings indicate a shift in the form of idols from physical religious artifacts to functional social and psychological constructs, while the basic mechanism remains the same: the transfer of dependence from God to creation. This research contributes to the development of biblical theology by broadening the understanding of the concept of idolatry as a religious phenomenon that is adaptive to changing cultural and social contexts. Abstrak Penelitian ini menganalisis keterkaitan antara penyembahan anak lembu emas dalam Keluaran 32 dan manifestasi pemberhalaan pada masyarakat modern. Berhala dengan penelitian sebelumnya yang umumnya berfokus pada larangan penyembahan bergala atau evaluasi pada tokoh-tokoh biblis, studi ini menawarkan analisis komparatif mengenai tranformasi bentuk dan mekanisme pemberhalaan dari konteks Israel kuno ke era kontemporer. Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi literatur terhadap teks Alkitab, sumber-sumber teologi Perjanjian Lama, dan kajian mengenai …

Sacramentum vs Simulacrum: Kajian Dogmatis Perkawinan Kristen dan Realitas Sosial Lavender Marriage
type: item
description: The phenomenon of lavender marriage has generally been examined within social and cultural frameworks, while its evaluation from the perspective of Christian dogmatic theology of marriage remains limited. This study aims to analyze lavender marriage through the conceptual framework of Sacramentum–Simulacrum in order to assess the integrity of marital relationships from the perspective of Genesis 1–2, Hosea 1–3, and Ezekiel 16. The analysis is conducted using a qualitative method with a theological-exegetical approach to formulate normative criteria for Christian marriage. The findings indicate that marriage as Sacramentum constitutes a covenantal unity encompassing essential, teleological, ethical, and sacramental dimensions, whereas lavender marriage operates as a Simulacrum that preserves the external form of marriage without embodying its relational meaning, particularly in terms of covenantal fidelity and openness. This distinction highlights the tension between social legitimacy and relational integrity in contemporary marital practices. This study contributes by formulating a systematic model of theological evaluation through the Sacramentum–Simulacrum dichotomy, while also providing a foundation for theological reflection and pastoral response within the church toward non-conventional forms of marriage. Abstrak Fenomena Lavender marriage umumnya dikaji dalam kerangka sosial dan budaya, sementara evaluasi dalam perspektif teologi dogmatis perkawinan Kristen masih terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis Lavender marriage melalui kerangka konseptual Sacramentum–Simulacrum untuk menilai integritas relasi perkawinan dalam perspektif Kejadian 1–2, Hosea 1–3, dan Yehezkiel 16. Analisis dilakukan melalui metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan teologis-eksegetis untuk merumuskan kriteria normatif perkawinan Kristen. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa perkawinan sebagai Sacramentum merupakan kesatuan perjanjian yang mencakup dimensi hakiki, teleologis, etis, dan sakramental…

Proses Manajemen, Tantangan dan Peluang Sekolah Kristen: Sebuah Penelitian Kualitatif Deskriptif
type: item
description: This research aims to investigate how management activities in a Christian school were conducted based on a management process approach and Christian perspectives, as well as to identify the challenges and opportunities faced by the school. A descriptive qualitative study was conducted to achieve this purpose. The authors carried out a focus group discussion with six informants, including the principal, subject teachers, and an administrative staff at a Christian school in the Province of North Sumatra, Indonesia. Data were analyzed using deductive thematic analysis. The results revealed that Christian school management is a process that includes planning, organizing, leading, and controlling through integrating Christian values, principles, and perspectives. Furthermore, the study found that the Christian school faced various challenges arising from government policies, financial difficulties, technological advancements, and globalization. Finally, despite these challenges, the research also identifies opportunities for improving Christian schools, for example, doing collaboration with other relevant organizations. This study contributes to both practice and theory. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki bagaimana kegiatan manajemen di sebuah sekolah Kristen berdasarkan pendekatan proses manajemen dan perspektif Kristen, dan untuk mengidentifikasi tantangan dan peluang bagi sekolah tersebut.

Kutukilah Allahmu dan Matilah: Mendekonstruksi Narasi Istri Ayub sebagai Subjek Penderitaan dalam Perspektif Pastoral
type: item
description: The Book of Job presents the story of a righteous man who remains faithful to God amid intense suffering. However, the figure of Job’s wife is often marginalized in biblical interpretation and frequently portrayed negatively. Her statement, “Curse God and die” (Job 2:9), is commonly understood as an expression of unfaithfulness. Yet, the text implicitly reflects her own profound suffering, including the loss of her children, wealth, and future, within the patriarchal context of the Ancient Near East. Existing studies on Job’s wife remain largely dominated by reductive interpretations and rarely consider her as a subject of suffering within a pastoral framework. This gap indicates the need for a more integrative and empathetic approach. This study aims to reinterpret the statement of Job’s wife as part of the broader narrative of suffering. It employs a qualitative library research method using narrative criticism of Job 2:9, combined with Hebrew lexical analysis and feminist and pastoral perspectives. The findings suggest that her statement carries semantic ambiguity, allowing for alternative interpretations beyond a literal curse, including as an expression of existential anguish. Thus, Job’s wife can be understood as a subject who experiences trauma rather than merely a negative figure. This study contributes by integrating biblical, feminist, and pastoral approaches, offering a more empathetic and contextual reading of human suffering. Abstrak Kitab Ayub menghadirkan kisah penderitaan seorang tokoh saleh yang tetap setia kepada Allah, namun sosok istri Ayub kerap ditempatkan di pinggiran narasi dan ditafsirkan secara negatif dalam berbagai studi biblika. Ucapannya, “Kutukilah Allahmu dan matilah” (Ayub 2:9), umumnya dipahami sebagai bentuk ketidaksetiaan iman. Sementara itu, teks juga secara implisit merekam penderitaannya yang mendalam, termasuk kehilangan anak, harta, dan masa depan dalam konteks budaya patriarki Timur Dekat Kuno. Hingga kini, kajian terhadap i…

Manusia dan Moralitas dalam Era Disrupsi Digital: Tinjauan Teologi Sistematik dan Implikasi Eklesiologis
type: item
description: Technological advances and the era of digital disruption have shifted the way humans understand moral responsibility in both public and private spheres. This transformation affects the construction of human nature, which has been understood within the framework of classical theological anthropology, particularly in relation to the imago Dei and free will. The issue between objective truth and digital relativism challenges the church to systematically and relevantly reformulate the foundations of Christian morality. Moreover, the phenomena of post-truth, the Internet of Things, and social polarisation reveal a crisis of moral integrity. This study aims to analyse the relationship between the concepts of humanity and morality in systematic theology and to formulate its ecclesiological implications in the era of digital disruption. The method used is qualitative study with a systematic-critical theological approach through literature analysis. The results of the study show that the reconstruction of theological anthropology rooted in the concept of imago Dei shows that human dignity and moral responsibility remain normative amid digital disruption. The post-truth crisis and digital relativism demand a renewal of Christian ethics based on the truth of the Gospel as the foundation for the formation of healthy Christianity. Abstrak Perkembangan kemjuan teknologi dan era disrupsi digital telah menggeser cara manusia memahami tanggung jawab moral dalam ruang publik maupun privat. Transformasi ini memengaruhi konstruksi natur manusia yang selama ini dipahami dalam kerangka antropologi teologis klasik, khususnya terkait imago Dei dan kehendak bebas. Persoalan antara kebenaran objektif dan relativisme digital menantang gereja untuk merumuskan kembali fondasi moralitas Kristen secara sistematik dan relevan. Apalagi fenomena post-truth, dan Intenet Of Things, dan polarisasi sosial memperlihatkan terjadinya krisis integritas moral. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis relasi ant…

Kajian Teologis Kedokteran Kejadian Manusia dalam Perspektif Mazmur 139:13
type: item
description: The debate regarding the origin of humankind between the theological perspective of the Bible and Darwin's theory of evolution remains a compelling issue to this day, particularly with the advancement of modern medicine and genetics, which demonstrate the biological proximity between humans and primates. However, theological studies linking the biblical perspective, particularly Psalm 139:13, with the findings of modern medicine and genetics are still very limited, requiring in-depth study to bridge the two perspectives. This study aims to analyse the process of human creation based on the biblical hermeneutics of Psalm 139:13 from the perspective of modern medical theology and genetic science. The research method used is biblical hermeneutics with a modern medical theological approach and genetic analysis to understand the meaning of human creation holistically. The results show that the process of human creation in Psalm 139:13 is in line with modern medical science, particularly in embryogenesis, which describes God ‘weaving’ humans through highly complex and orderly genetic mechanisms. Analysis of the words qanah, cakak, and kilyah reveals the relationship between the creation of the human body, soul, and spirit, which reflects God's work holistically. These findings confirm that humans were created uniquely in the image and likeness of God, not as the result of evolution from other creatures, and enrich the theological understanding of medicine regarding the origin and nature of humans. Abstrak Perdebatan mengenai asal-usul manusia antara pandangan teologis Alkitab dan teori evolusi Darwin masih menjadi isu menarik hingga saat ini, terutama dengan adanya perkembangan ilmu kedokteran modern dan genetika yang menunjukkan kedekatan biologis antara manusia dan primata. Namun, kajian teologis yang menghubungkan perspektif Alkitab, khususnya Mazmur 139:13, dengan temuan ilmu kedokteran modern dan genetika masih sangat terbatas, sehingga diperlukan telaah mendalam unt…

Membangun Kehidupan Komunitas Umat melalui Etika Dekalog: Kajian Teologi Konstruktif Keluaran 20:1–17
type: item
description: Recent archaeological findings about the relationship between Israel and its exclusivism among other nations need to be examined with the history of the nation's pluralism. The origins of the nation of Israel seem to have influenced the various contexts of life (religious, social, economic, political and legal) that occurred in the midst of pluralism. The context of Israel's life recorded in the Decalogue (Exodus 20:1-17) was formed by the process of assimilation and adaptation of various elements of the surrounding Canaanite culture and religion. It needs to be examined to look at the universal theological values of Decalogues from different eras and contexts. The relevance of these theological values for contextual missions as an effort to build a plural common life. Decalogue can be used as a reference text and theological construction of harmony in the midst of the plurality. Qualitative type research is carried out in this paper through the redaction of social history of the text of the formation of Decalogue values. While this type of descriptive research is used to analyze the implementation of contextual missions based on Decalogue values. This paper shows that the theological values of Decalogue contribute to the contextual religious communities

Meningkatkan Kemampuan Berpikir Siswa Melalui Problem Based Learning dalam Bingkai Kurikulum Pendidikan Agama Kristen
type: item
description: Christian religious education learning is not merely taught to students, but also has an impact in improving students' thinking skills. Within the framework of Christian religious education, learning design is often neglected by Christian religious teachers so that the learning process is only academic achievement without any practical achievement. To implement problem-based learning in Christian religious education learning, good methods and designs are needed, so that the learning concept can improve students' thinking skills. Therefore, the objectives of this study consist of: first, to explain and describe the steps to improve students' thinking skills. Second, to explain and describe how to apply problem-based learning (PBL) within the framework of the Christian religious education curriculum so that learning objectives can be achieved well. This study uses a library research method (literature study). Based on the results of the research study, the application of problem-based learning (PBL) through Christian religious education within the curriculum framework is able to improve students' thinking skills with indicators: student orientation to problems, organizing students to learn, directing individuals or groups to new experiences, presenting work or findings, and conducting analysis and evaluation in the problem-solving process, as well as active student involvement in the learning process.

Budaya Naketi Uab Atoin Meto dan Pendidikan Agama Kristen dalam Pengembangan Spiritualitas Kemanusiaan di Tengah Dehumanisasi Global
type: item
description: Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji nilai-nilai budaya Naketi Uab Atoin Meto dan relevansinya bagi pengembangan spiritualitas kemanusiaan dalam Pendidikan Agama Kristen di tengah arus dehumanisasi global. Melalui pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan analisis isi dan studi pustaka, penelitian ini menafsirkan nilai rekonsiliatif Naketi seperti pengakuan kesalahan, pemaafan, dan pemulihan relasi, serta menghubungkannya dengan prinsip-prinsip teologis dalam PAK. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa praktik Naketi menawarkan kerangka relasional yang memperkuat pembentukan karakter, etika kasih, dan kesadaran kolektif peserta didik. Integrasi nilai budaya lokal ini menjadi pendekatan pedagogis alternatif dalam merespons dehumanisasi yang ditandai oleh individualisme, fragmentasi relasi, dan hilangnya empati. Penelitian ini merumuskan model spiritualitas kemanusiaan berbasis Naketi yang dapat diterapkan dalam pembelajaran dialogis, reflektif, dan kontekstual. Model tersebut berkontribusi pada pengembangan teologi kontekstual serta memperkuat peran PAK dalam memulihkan relasi manusia dengan Tuhan, sesama, dan budaya lokal.

Kajian Moderasi Beragama dalam Perspektif Teologi Kristen dan Sosial Kontemporer
type: item
description: Indonesia is a country known for its religious, ethnic, and cultural diversity, requiring serious efforts to maintain harmony and peaceful coexistence. The challenges faced in religious life are becoming increasingly complex in the midst of globalisation and the rise of radical ideologies that threaten tolerance and peace. The phenomenon of increasing polarisation and conflict between religious groups highlights the importance of religion in building social cohesion. This study aims to examine religious moderation from the perspective of Christian theology and contemporary social dynamics. The method used is a qualitative-descriptive study through theological and social literature review. The findings reveal that the theological foundation of religious moderation in Christianity, rooted in biblical values and the theology of Christ's incarnation, serves as the moral and spiritual basis for believers to live harmoniously in a diverse society. When these values are implemented in contemporary social contexts through education, interfaith dialogue, and interreligious cooperation, religious moderation becomes a bridge connecting faith and social responsibility to create a moderate society. Abstrak Indonesia merupakan negara yang dikenal dengan keberagaman agama, suku, dan budaya, sehingga memerlukan upaya serius untuk menjaga kerukunan dan keharmonisan hidup bersama.

Penggunaan Kritik Historis Dalam Teologi PB : Kajian Historis dan Pandangan Teolog di Sekolah Tinggi Teologi Kristus Alfa Omega Semarang
type: item
description: Artikel ini mengkaji penggunaan kritik historis dalam teologi Perjanjian Baru oleh para teolog yang ada di Indonesia khususnya dosen-dosen prodi teologi di Sekolah Tinggi Teologi Kristus Alfa Omega Semarang. Dengan pendekatan deskriptif historis dan kritik komparatif, peneliti dapat memperoleh titik temu dari pandangan teologi para teolog tersebut mengenai penggunaan kritik historis dalam teologi Perjanjian Baru. Setelah data terkumpul melalui wawancara maka peneliti mengelompokkan data-data tersebut ke dalam sejumlah unit analisis yang satu dengan lainnya tersusun secara sistematis. Temuan pertama dari studi ini adalah dosen prodi teologi STT KAO memiliki pandangan bahwa pendekatan kritik historis bisa digunakan sebagai alat bantu untuk memahami teks Alkitab dan bukan untuk mengkritisinya sehingga menimbulkan keraguan sebagai wahyu Allah. Kedua, dosen STT KAO juga memakai pendekatan kritik historis untuk mengafirmasi apa yang sudah disampaikan oleh teks Alkitab. Ketiga, dosen STT KAO memberikan masukan untuk berhati-hati dalam menggunakan pendekatan ini karena kalau tidak bijaksana dalam menggunakannya maka bisa terseret dalam semangat awal pendekatan ini yaitu untuk menjatuhkan otoritas Alkitab sebagai wahyu Allah sehingga Alkitab disamakan dengan dokumen atau buku pada umumnya.

Pendekatan Kontekstual Terhadap Tradisi Peringatan Kematian Dalam Pelayanan Pastoral Di Gereja Gladagsari, Boyolali.
type: item
description: The death commemoration ritual is an integral component of the symbolic system within Javanese society, reflecting a collective understanding of death as both a spiritual and social transition. In Gladagsari Village, Boyolali, this practice is not merely a religious rite but also a sociocultural mechanism that reinforces communal solidarity and cohesion. For Christians embedded within such a cultural framework, a hermeneutical tension arises between doctrinal fidelity to the authority of Scripture and the pastoral necessity of harmonious coexistence with local traditions. This study employs a qualitative case study approach, utilizing in-depth interviews, participant observation, and literature review, analyzed through an interpretive framework grounded in contextual pastoral theology. The findings reveal that although intercessory prayers for the dead lack soteriological legitimacy within Christian doctrine, the ritual carries profound symbolic and social significance that strengthens community networks. Accordingly, the church is called to develop a contextual and reflective pastoral approach, one that remains rooted in the truth of the Gospel while engaging local cultural realities as a space for witness and transformation.

description: Digital transformation has brought significant changes to various aspects of life, including adolescents’ mindset, behavior, and character formation. The development of technology and digital media has both positive and negative impacts on family life and education. In this context, the family plays an important role as the primary educational environment in instilling Christian values while developing wise and responsible digital literacy skills. This study aims to analyze the integration of Christian Religious Education and digital literacy within the family as an effort to shape adolescents’ character in the era of digital transformation.
