egi yang berlandaskan pewahyuan dan hikmat ilahi, bukan hanya pada pertimbangan rasional manusia. Teks ini menampilkan dua pendekatan yang kontras: strategi Raja Aram yang mengandalkan perencanaan manusiawi dan strategi Raja Israel yang bertumpu pada pewahyuan Tuhan melalui nabi Elisa. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode ekspositori dengan analisis teologis-kontekstual, memperhatikan struktur teks, latar belakang historis, dan pesan teologis yang terkandung di dalamnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa strategi Kristen lahir dari relasi intim dengan Tuhan, kepekaan terhadap suara-Nya, serta ketaatan dalam melaksanakan kehendak-Nya. Strategi ini bukan sekadar respons taktis, melainkan tindakan yang dipimpin oleh hikmat ilahi untuk menghadapi tantangan rohani maupun praktis. Penelitian ini menegaskan relevansi teks 2 Raja-raja 6:8-9 bagi kepemimpinan dan pelayanan Kristen kontemporer, khususnya dalam merespons konflik internal, membangun visi pelayanan, serta mengintegrasikan pewahyuan ilahi dalam pengambilan keputusan strategis. Kebaruan kajian ini terletak pada pendekatan ekspositori yang memadukan dimensi biblika, teologis, dan praktis dalam merumuskan paradigma strategis Kristen yang transformatif.

Abstract:Christian Religious Education within the family is currently confronted with significant challenges arising from social change, the rapid advancement of digital technology, and the declining involvement of parents in nurturing…
turing their children's faith. These conditions highlight the need to reconstruct the spiritual responsibility of Christian parents so that the family may once again serve as the primary center of faith formation. This study aims to analyze the essence of Christian parents' spiritual responsibility from theological and pedagogical perspectives, explain its implementation in Christian Religious Education within the family, and examine its implications for the development of children's faith, character, and spirituality. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using a library research method. The findings reveal that parents' spiritual responsibility is manifested through exemplary living, faith-based communication, spiritual discipline, and sustainable family relationships. The study also proposes a conceptual model consisting of four main components: theological foundation, pedagogical relationship, family spiritual practices, and children's character transformation. It is concluded that reconstructing parents' spiritual responsibility strengthens the family as the primary context of Christian Religious Education while fostering synergy among families, churches, and educational institutions. The novelty of this study lies in integrating theological and pedagogical perspectives into a contextual, dialogical, participatory, and transformative model for reconstructing the spiritual responsibility of Christian parents.
Abstract:The dynamics of modern education, marked by rapid social, cultural, and moral changes, require Christian Religious Education (CRE) not only to preserve its faith-based foundations but also to respond critically and constructively…
ructively to contemporary challenges. The main issue addressed in this study is how CRE can integrate the steadfastness of theological values with social sensitivity without losing its Christian identity. This study aims to analyze the relevance and contribution of the philosophical streams of Essentialism and Reconstructionism in the development of contemporary Christian Religious Education. The research employs a qualitative approach through a literature review, using descriptive–interpretative analysis of relevant scientific, philosophical, and theological sources. The findings indicate that Essentialism makes a significant contribution to strengthening the foundations of faith, shaping Christian character, and internalizing core Christian values that are normative and sustainable. Conversely, Reconstructionism positions CRE as a means of social renewal that encourages learners to actively engage in justice, social responsibility, and societal transformation. The integration of these two philosophical approaches enables CRE to develop holistically by balancing spiritual, moral, and social dimensions within the educational process. The conclusion of this study affirms that Essentialism and Reconstructionism possess strategic relevance as a philosophical foundation for contextual and transformative Christian Religious Education. The novelty of this research lies in its integrative philosophical model that harmonizes the firmness of faith with an orientation toward social change, thereby offering a new conceptual framework for the development of Christian Religious Education that is adaptive to the challenges of modern education without losing its theological essence.
Abstract:The ideology of religious radicalism poses a serious threat that can disrupt social peace, particularly for the younger generation who are more vulnerable to being exposed to radical ideas. Religious radicalization, as a…
form of extremism, has the potential to disturb interfaith harmony and create social tensions. Therefore, preventing the spread of this ideology is crucial, one of which can be achieved through the involvement of Christian youth in utilizing social media. Social media has become a highly effective platform for spreading various types of information, both positive and harmful. As such, Christian youth play a very important role in addressing this threat. This research aims to examine the contribution of Christian youth in preventing the spread of religious radicalism ideology through social media. The approach used is qualitative with a literature study, where data is obtained from various relevant scholarly sources. The results of the study show that Christian youth can use social media as a tool to spread messages of peace, tolerance, and inclusivity. This is important in fostering harmony amidst religious diversity in Indonesia. Christian youth can play an active role by correcting the misconceptions often propagated by radical groups. By spreading positive and constructive messages, Christian youth can help society become more discerning in filtering information, thus reducing the potential spread of hatred. Through their involvement on social media, Christian youth have significant potential in strengthening interfaith harmony and creating a more peaceful and harmonious social environment.
