Proposing central tenets in evangelical theology to be developed anthropologically is subject to lengthy debate. This article limits itself to a few tenets drawn from Evangelical soteriology and Reformed Christology. First, the author discusses a brief history that presents various anthropological alternatives, especially in relation to the concept of the image of God, one of the central topics in Christian anthropology. The second part presents the anthropology of Michael Welker as one of the representatives of contemporary theological anthropology. The last section presents a proposal for evangelical anthropology which can be further developed and applied in various aspects.
The author then provides exemplary applications in only two aspects, namely in education and ecological responsibility. Methodologically, this article attempts to present various historical anthropological views in dialogue with evangelical theology, before completing with an evangelical proposal that essentially argues that human being is in one’s becoming like Christ.

This article analyzes both theologically and musically which elements of ars moriendi were realized in Bach's works. The selected cantatas are No. 4, 83, 105, 106, 125, 127, 156 and 161. As a faithful Lutheran, Bach's ars moriendi represented the central principles of Lutheran theology. Bach's libretto, however, also bears remarkable similarities to the late medieval tradition of ars moriendi, a pre-Reformation ars moriendi that deals with evangelical ideas about death.

Surat 1 Korintus memberikan banyak butir pengajaran yang begitu berharga tentang bagaimana seharusnya iman Kristen diterapkan dalam setiap aspek kehidupan dan pelayanan, bagaimana supaya kita tidak tinggal tetap dalam kondisi rohani yang bermasalah, melainkan supaya kita bertumbuh dalam kedewasaan rohani seperti yang dikehendaki Tuhan bagi kita.

Psalms in Deutschland ca. 1600-1750 betrachtet in den Perspektiven der reformatorischen Musikanschauung. Als Ziel dieser Arbeit soll die Untersuchung der Vertonungen des 51. Psalms zu einer Darstellung der geschichtlichen Entwicklung, in dem sie die Beziehung von der theologisch-asthetischen- und kompositorischen Wandeln in der Psalmvertonungen zeigt. Der musikasthetische Wandel in Deutschland wird offensichtlich in der Entwicklung von konkreten Vertonungen des in dieser Arbeit gewahlten Psalms 51 in Deutschland reflektiert. Mit Praetorius Vertonung beginnend, das eine klare Betonung der Prioritat der Textverstandlichkeit ist, endet diese Arbeit mit einer Parodie von Bach, der im Wesentlichen die Dominanz von Musik uber den Text zeigt. Dazwischen sind verschiedene Komponisten, die in ihren Zeiten auf die Vielfalt von musikaesthetisen Strome geantwortet haben. Ihr in ihren Vertonungen des 51. Psalms bestatigten kompositionelles...

Ibadah menurut Calvin sepertinya tidak menjanjikan untuk dikembangkan dalam konteks masa kini karena kesempitan wawasannya. Artikel ini berusaha untuk menyajikan perspektif sebaliknya. Artikel ini hendak membagikan kontribusi pemikiran Calvin yang dapat menjadi tuntunan dan koreksi bagi ibadah masa kini. Untuk itu, penulis akan menjabarkan prinsip-prinsip teologi reformatoris Calvin yang diaplikasikan dalam aspek ibadah, pandangan Calvin tentang dosa-dosa liturgis, dan gambaran-gambaran atau metafora-metafora yang digunakan Calvin untuk menjelaskan ibadah. Secara metodologis, artikel ini berusaha untuk menimba pemikiran Calvin tentang ibadah dan menerapkannya secara kontekstual, namun tidak memberikan pembahasan yang komprehensif dan historis dalam arti yang ketat. Pemikiran Calvin tentang ibadah bukan saja melampaui pokok bahasan seputar penggunaan alat musi...

The biblical or general theological background of the text of each selected cantata, as well as the way in which Bach set the text to music, is discussed. We can learn from Bach that, first, there should be a legitimate space to express fear and insecurity about the arrival of foreigners. Second, believers who are in exile can associate their Christian identity with the life of Jesus while inviting unbelievers to find their identity in Jesus. Third, both suffering and hospitality are true features of Christian discipleship. Fourth, Bach’s interpretation of exile as a divine punishment is not the final message. The motif of exile as punishment is transformed by a Christological interpretation. Finally, the end of exile can be celebrated. In exile, believers dare to hope and to believe; at the end of the exile, believers celebrate without forgetting th...

Drawing from Reformational insights, this article engages with this question from a soteriological perspective. The Reformed soteriological story begins with creation. Creation was, however, disturbed by the fall. God o ers the story of redemption for the whole creation. Finally, God's work of redemption culminates in the beatific vision of his glory, which can already be beheld and tasted here and now. I will follow this framework (creation, fall, redemption, glorification) to present a proposal for a Reformed ecclesiology developed from Reformed soteriology. Though written from an Indonesian perspective, this article tries to bring together voices from both global hemispheres in an irenic dialogue.

Obwhol die Tat von fast allen verurteilt wurde, scheiden sich die Geister über die Meinungsfreiheit, die den Mord verursacht hat. Dieser Artikel möchte die Konzepte der Meinungsfreiheit nachzeichnen, wie sie in Frankreich rezipiert wurden. Basierend auf Luthers Schrift »Von der Freiheit eines Christenmenschen « argumentiert der Artikel dann für die Relevanz von Luthers Freiheitskonzept, um die Suche nach wahrer Freiheit fruchtbar zu beantworten. Er entfaltet die Potenziale von Luthers Freiheitskonzept und zeigt, wie Luthers Denken eine sinnvollere Alternative bieten kann als der säkulare Freiheitsbegriff, wie er von der französischen Aufklärung rezipiert wurde.

Dyothelitisme yang diwakili oleh pemikiran Maximus the Confessor merupakan acuan di dalam memahami Kristologi dua natur – satu pribadi dari Chalcedon, yang diterima sebagai ortodoksi Gereja di dalam melawan ajaran Monothelitisme dan Monoenergisme. Kesinambungan antara pemikiran Dyothelitisme Maximus the Confessor tersebut dengan pemikiran serta karya Yohanes Calvin di dalam Kristologinya, adalah sangat penting bagi pemahanan mengenai pelaksanaan dan penggenapan sempurna karya penebusan Kristus di dalam pandangan teologia Reformed sebagaimana diwakili oleh Calvin.

This article will observe Berkouwer’s concept of imago Dei based on systematic-biblical method. In other words, biblical concept will only support the systematic-theological based discussion. It will be demonstrated through this article that, in comparison to previous approaches of explaining the concept of the image, Berkouwer had made a significant contribution. That contribution is found in his emphasis on the functional aspect of being the image. In doing this, on one hand, he followed the path of Reformatory tradition, but on the other hand, he also diverted from the Reformatory tradition on some issues about the concept of the image. KEYWORDS: Berkouwer; imago Dei; human nature; human dignity; Postmodernism; analogia entis; analogia relationis; analogia amoris

Saya berargumentasi bahwa pembacaan ekumenis Calvin terhadap kedua reformator telah membantu mentransformasi polemik yang ada menjadi alternatif kreatif. Saya akan membandingkan pemahaman Luther dan Zwingli tentang Perjamuan Kudus. Kemudian, tulisan awal Calvin tentang Perjamuan Kudus akan digambarkan sebagai jalan tengah antara Luther dan Zwingli. Bagian ketiga membahas tulisan Calvin belakangan tentang Perjamuan Kudus, yang akan diikuti oleh tinjauan historis dari beberapa teolog dan juga Konsili Kalsedon. Natur relasi antara tanda dan yang ditunjuk oleh tanda merupakan hal yang kompleks dan multidimensi. Tinjauan historis juga meneguhkan jiwa ekumenis Calvin. Akhirnya disimpulkan bahwa meskipun masih ada perbedaan pandangan, ada kemiripan yang ...

Ibadah menurut Calvin sepertinya tidak menjanjikan untuk dikembangkan dalam konteks masa kini karena seringkali dianggap terlalu sempit. Artikel ini berusaha untuk menyajikan perspektif sebaliknya tanpa bermaksud menam-pilkan superioritas pemikiran Calvin tentang ibadah. Artikel ini mau membagikan kontribusi pemikiran Calvin yang dapat menjadi tuntunan dan koreksi bagi ibadah masa kini. Untuk itu penulis akan membahas prinsip-prinsip teologi reformatoris Calvin yang diaplikasikan dalam aspek ibadah, pandangan Calvin tentang dosa-dosa liturgis, dan gambaran-gambaran atau metafora-metafora yang digunakan Calvin untuk menjelaskan ibadah. Secara metodologis, artikel ini berusaha untuk menimba dan mengontekstualisasikan pikiran Calvin tentang ibadah, namun tidak memberikan pembahasan yang komprehensif dan historis secara ketat. Pemikiran-pemikiran Calvin tentang ibadah bukan saja melampaui pokok bahasan seputar penggunaan alat musik dan Mazmur, melainkan juga memiliki potensi yang kaya untuk pengembangan ibadah Kristen masa kini.
