The need for pastoral assistance and counseling is increasingly being felt in various sectors of society, both Christian and non-Christian. The economic, social, and political crisis, which resulted in crises in other fields, including health, education, and morals, made a crisis that had a widespread impact in Indonesia. This has triggered the community's need for pastoral care and counseling. This works to help them through an interactive, reciprocal, and in-depth conversation to find the core of the problem and lead to a solution. However, for this interaction to occur, hospitality practices are undoubtedly needed so that the counselee is willing to be involved and open up. The purpose of this study was to examine the concept of hospitality as the first step in the presence of pastoral assistance and counseling in times of crisis for Christians. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The results showed that Christian hospitality requires counselors to have empat...

This article describes Christian therapeutic counseling that can help make the counseling process effective. The purpose of Christian therapeutic counseling is not only to want someone to experience recovery from the problem, but above all, the result of the counseling is that the counselee experiences the likeness of Christ who healed him. To get to that stage, one must start with a change in life because one has been freed, freed, recovered, and has personally met God and experienced the likeness of Christ. This can be called unique counseling, maximizing results and shortening time. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The study's results stated that Therapeutic counseling impacts the process of believers becoming in the image and likeness of God. Counselors must synergize with other fields with different gifts, including the local Church, discipleship team, mission, and pastoral because synergy helps perfect a counselee's recovery and shorten the time.

The concept of having a different world in a virtual reality is nothing new. However, the rapid development of such world, often known as the metaverse, has caught many peoples’ attention including believers. Even in its earliest stage of development, the metaverse has already attracted many interested stakeholders and investors as it promises to open up many possibilities and offers many other opportunities. Of course it does not come without any negative aspects. Yet, like any other previous advancements in technology, one should first assess its weight in order to determine the appropriate response. This paper tries to answer the question of whether the metaverse should be seen as a threat or an opportunity especially by the church. The authors hope that this writing will ultimately help the church to realize this coming world in the near future and make the best preparation as soon as possible to anticipate this revolutionary disruption. The church will hopefully be able to prov...

Komunitas akademis pentakosta memiliki tanggungjawab untuk menggemakan teologi dan spiritualitas pentakosta bagi jemaat lokal. Namun, keberanian dan kemampuan melaksanakan tanggungjawab ini harus terus ditingkatkan melalui pelatihan dan pendampingan. Tujuan dari kegiatan ini adalah untuk meningkatkan inventaris diskursus pentakostalisme bagi sarjana pentakosta dan oikumene melalui pelaksanaan seminar disertasi dalam program Pentatalk oleh Asosiasi Sarjana Pentakostal/Karismatik Indonesia (Aspenkris). Dengan melakukan kajian disertasi para akademisi pentakosta, maka para pengajar pentakosta semakin menguatkan jati dirinya sebagai seorang pentakostalisme. Metode pelaksanaan yang dilakukan adalah webinar edukasi melalui platform zoom meeting. Dari kegiatan yang dilakukan ini ada beberapa hal yang telah dan sedang dicapai: Pertama memberikan wacana dan diskursus yang luas dari pentakostalitas baik itu dalam konteks Indonesia maupun luar negeri.

The anomaly of Jonah's attitude in rejecting God's call (Jonah 1) and his anger at Nineveh's conversion caused various opinions on the genre of his book. This encourages the need to produce new findings to narrow the view of experts by placing the book of Jonah as satire literature. The purpose of this research is to describe the satire elements contained in the prologue and epilogue of the book of Jonah. The method used in this research is a narrative approach using a modified method that departs from the four narrative elements namely the narrator, character (characterization), point of view, and storyline then combined with some elements of general interpretation in it. through the narrative analysis method, the researcher sees the text as a "mirror" that projects a certain picture, namely the world of narratives that provides benefits to explore the forms and elements of the prologue and epilogical satire texts of the book of Jonah. The results showed that ...

Sebagai dosen yang pernah beberapa kali mengampu mata kuliah Teologi Kontemporer, kehadiran buku ini sangat tepat bukan hanya kete-rsediaanya di dalam literatur ber-bahasa Indonesia, dan oleh penulis-penulis Indonesia tetapi juga sebuah buku yang memperluas cakupan teo-logi-teologi kontemper. Juga, saya bersyukur karena tiga tahun yang lalu saya sempat menanyakan di sebuah grup facebook yaitu Forum Teologi dan Biblika, tentang informasi buku apa yang cocok dipakai untuk mata kuliah Teologi Kontemporer untuk memperlengkapi sekaligus meng-update beberapa buku-buku berbahasa Indonesia yang sudah ada. Pertanyaan ini saya ajukan mengingat saya me-rasa ketika kira-kira 28 tahun yang lalu sewaktu duduk di program S-1, saya mendapatkan mata kuliah Teo-logi Kontemporer yang hanya ber-fokus pada Teologi-teologi abad 19 dan 20 (dengan latarbelakang akhir abad 18).
