The Covid-19 pandemic has had a very heavy impact on humans to survive. The problem that is felt by all elements of society is related to the economy and the fulfilment of the necessities of life, but also the fear of being exposed to this virus haunts believers.

Since the establishment of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) as a pandemic, the Indonesian government must adopt specific policies to prevent and break the chain of the Covid-19 spread. Such policies have significantly but negatively influenced people’s activities, particularly in the economic sector. The most affected class is those having low income or weak economic conditions. This problem is also experienced by many churches and church deacons. In facing this kind of situation, believers who have better economic capacity are required to take an active role by helping and funding the church’s treasury and assisting the church deacons. The results showed that the Covid-19 pandemic greatly affects the people’s economic condition including the declining church fund because all worship activities must be done online. However, one thing that pleases God and humans is that in such a situation, many believers and churches are still willing to serve the community in the deacons’ servi...

Pada masa pandemi Covid-19, gereja dibatasi aturan pemerintah untuk tidak mengadakan ibadah secara onsite tetapi diganti dengan ibadah online melalui YouTube, Zoom Meeting atau media yang lain. Tidak semua orang dapat memanfaatkan teknologi ini terutama mereka yang mempunyai keterbatasan sebagaimana dialami kaum tunanetra. Sebagai orang percaya mereka tetap harus bertumbuh dalam iman. Rumusan masalah dalam penelitian adalah bagaimana kaum tunanetra tetap bertumbuh dalam iman kepada Kristus meskipun di masa pandemi Covid-19? Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kepustakaan dibarengi dengan wawancara terhadap kaum tunanetra tentang kebutuhan akan pertumbuhan iman mereka. Pertumbuhan iman bisa didapat melalui ibadah, pembacaan Alkitab. Dengan dihentikan ibadah minggu seperti biasa maka melalui pembacaan Alkitablah mereka mendapatkan pertumbuhan iman.

Jurnal Ilmu Agama: Mengkaji Doktrin, Pemikiran, dan Fenomena Agama

Penyebaran Covid-19 sulit untuk diputus, sebab proses mutasinya begitu cepat dan dapat menimbulkan varian baru. Sehingga sulit untuk membuat vaksin. Banyak orang mengharapkan herd imunity yang diperlukan menuju tatanan new normal. Agama memiliki peran signifikan sebagai penguat bagi manusia dalam menjalani berbagai tantangan kehidupan yang tidak biasa, khususnya di masa pandemi dan menuju tatanan new normal. Jelasnya, muncul beragam sikap dan prilaku masyarakat beragama. Nada pesimis terhadap agama bahkan terhadap Tuhan juga muncul. Jangankan mengatakan wabah sebagai azab Tuhan karena kejahatan sudah merajalela. Bahkan dengan Tuhan pun mereka tidak percaya. Sehingga tulisan ini urgen sebagai bagian dari solusi dalam menghadapi pandemi covid-19 dan menuju new normal. Sebagai manusia yang beragama, sudah seharusnya menghadapi pandemi ini secara holistik, tidak cukup dengan pendekatan parsial dari segi medis, tetapi juga dengan pendekatan agama. Penelitian ini menghasilkan temuan bah...

Veritas: Jurnal Teologi dan Pelayanan, 2020

From Theodicy and Anthropodicy to Theo-anthropodicy: Loving God and Loving Others Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic Suffering is an inevitable reality. This time, the world is dealing with a COVID-19 pandemic that causes suffering in several aspects of human life such as health, social, economic, psychological, and religion. This polemic leads us to a discussion around theodicy. Theodicy is a paradigm Leibniz used to defend God's benevolence and omnipotence in front of the reality of suffering, but the theories tend to stop in the realm of theory without practice. Sontag carries the paradigm of anthropodicy in the form of social solidarity that promotes the practice of criticizing the overly abstract theodicy in defense of God regardless of human suffering. Anthropodicy seems to be too socialist and tends to hold on to human abilities, thus excluding the religious aspect in social solidarity. Levinas responded to this anxiety by carrying an ethical theodicy. The ethical theodicy paradi...

Dalam tulisan Yohanes Calvin, The Institutes of Christian Religion, karya besar tersebut diawali dan dirangkum dalam sebuah kalimat: "Nearly all the wisdom we possess, that is to say, true and sound wisdom, consists of two parts: the knowledge of God and of ourselves" (Hampir seluruh dari hikmat yang kita miliki, yaitu yang benar dan bijak, terdiri dari dua bagian: pengetahuan tentang Allah dan diri manusia). Calvin membunyikan kembali pengejaran Agustinus dari Hippo, yaitu keinginannya untuk mengenal Allah dan jiwa manusia. Dari seluruh pengetahuan yang dapat diperoleh manusia, bagi seorang Kristen yang menjadi pengikut Yesus, tidak ada yang lebih penting daripada pengetahuan yang didasarkan pada relasi antara Tuhan, manusia, dan sesamanya. Menurut perkataan Tuhan Yesus sendiri, seluruh Hukum Taurat dan inti dari kehidupan manusia turut dapat dirangkum menjadi dua hal, yaitu mengasihi Tuhan Allah dan sesama manusia seperti diri sendiri telah dikasihi (Matius 22:37-40). Dengan kata lain, hubungan Tuhan-diri-sesama adalah relasi triadik yang tidak dapat dipisahkan satu dengan yang lain. Sebagaimana manusia mengenal siapa dirinya di hadapan Tuhan (self before God), demikian juga dia akan mempersepsikan orang lain sebagaimana dirinya dipandang (self with others).
