“…It has also served as a platform for discussion of religious experiences that encourages love, respect, and understanding for one another's religious teachings. Christianity emphasizes that God communicates to mankind through Jesus Christ, offering them peace and salvation, allowing religious conflicts to be resolved and creating harmony amongst religious communities (Genesis 1:3-31; John 1:3; Colossians 1:16; Kristanto et al, 2022;Thiessen, 2006). This is consistent with the notion that interreligious dialogue, or which is basically a "dialogue of faiths," is crucial to strengthening one's faith in God's presence.…”

The first principle of Pancasila states that Indonesia as a nation that believes in God Almighty. Although Indonesia is officially secular, it is a diverse nation in terms of culture and religion. This diversity presents the possibility of disputes arising from religious matters in different areas. This article emphasizes how elements like the politicization of religion, exclusivism, and identity politics may lead to religious insecurity. The use of the DAMAI paradigm (Dialogue, Adaptation, Mediation, Accommodation, Integration) to build religious moderation in the context of Christian theological education in Papua is also covered in this article. Descriptive qualitative research methodology is employed in this study. Forty participants—representing staff, instructors, and students—were interviewed, and observations were made in order to gather data. The study’s findings demonstrate the high degree of DAMAI model application at Sentani State Protestant Christian College (STAKPN Sentani), with scores ranging from 80% to 99% for indicators including Communication, Justice, Love, Security, and Innovation. The DAMAI paradigm is presented in this article to foster inclusive and peaceful religious moderation in Papua while shedding light on the challenges related to religious moderation in Christian theological education settings.

“…Adapun tujuan pendidikan Kristen menurut Gordon Brown adalah sebagaimana memiliki hubungan dengan tujuan hidup orang Kristen untuk kemulian-Nya. 29 Karena itu Pendidikan Agama Kristen bukan hanya sekedar mengajar dengan sebuah keyakinan, melainkan memiliki landasan filosofis, maka dari itu seorang pendidik harus menjadi tempat yang edukatif bagi peserta didik, sehingga dapat membentuk umat kristiani menjadi manusia yang seutuhnya. 30 Tanpa terang kebenaran firman Allah atau Alkitab, maka penerapan dan tujuan tidak akan sampai pada kemuliaan Allah, melainkan hanya untuk kemuliaan manusia itu sendiri, sehingga perlu mendasari pendidikan dengan filsafat pendidikan Kristen.…”

Christian religious education cannot be separated from philosophy, because after all the Bible, especially the New Testament, is influenced by philosophy. One of the great foundations of Christian religious education is the philosophical foundation. But there are significant differences between secular philosophy and Christian philosophy, namely regarding the philosophical basis to the practical. So, in understanding the principles and practice of Christian religious education, it is necessary to have a solid foundation in eroding secular philosophies that greatly affect the church and students so that it does not achieve the goals of Christian religious education being held because the philosophy that enters Christian religious education emphasizes the autonomy of the ratio compared to authority. Allah is the causality of everything. Philosophy is very systematic and critical in drawing conclusions, not infrequently eventually this rationality makes the Bible lose its place as the main source in explaining metaphysics, epistemology, and axiology which is replaced with logical thinking which often even contradicts the Scriptures. By using qualitative methods, the author examines the philosophical meaning of Christian Religious Education. AbstrakPendidikan Agama Kristen tidak dapat dipisahkan dari filsafat, karena bagaimanapun Alkitab khususnya Perjanjian Baru dipengaruhi oleh filsafat. Salah satu landasan besar mengenai pendidikan agama Kristen adalah landasan filosofis. Tetapi ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara filsosofi sekuler dan filosofi Kristen, yaitu mengenai dasar filosofis hingga praktisnya. Maka dalam memahami prinsip dan praktis pendidikan agama Kristen, perlu fondasi yang kokoh dalam mengikis filosofi sekuler yang sangat mempengaruhi gereja dan peserta didik sehingga tidak mencapai tujuan dari pendidikan agama Kristen tersebut diselenggarakan, dikarenakan filsafat yang masuk kedalam pendidikan agama Kristen begitu menekanankan otonomi rasio dibandingkan otoritas Allah sebagai kausalitas segala sesuatunya. Filsafat sangat sistematis dan kritis dalam mengambil kesimpulan, tidak jarang akhirnya rasionalitas tersebut membuat Alkitab kehilangan tempat sebagai sumber utama dalam menjelaskan metafisika, epistemologi, maupun aksiologi yang digantikan dengan pemikiran logika yang bahkan kerapkali menentang Kitab Suci Alkitab. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif, penulis mengkaji pemaknaan filosofis Pendidikan Agama Kristen.

There is a decline in the population of Christians in the world from 2010 to 2020, and the primary cause is the slowing down of mission and evangelization efforts. Christians no longer see the urgent need of reaping the harvest of souls. Therefore, there is a need for Harvest Theology based on a solid biblical foundation to revitalize today’s mission. This paper uses exploratory and explanatory research methods to come up with a conclusion that churches need to develop Harvest Theology that creates effective strategies as well as focuses resources to reach receptive people; especially among the unreached people group. Harvest Theology is a counter to search theology that emphasizes finding the lost and multiplication of churches. Harvest Theology is very important to be revitalized because of the declining percentage of Christians in the period 2010 to 2020. Through exploratory and explanatory research methods, the author tries to convince readers that Harvest Theology is based on a solid biblical foundation and is vital to revitalizing today's mission. In revitalizing Harvest Theology, we need to develop mission strategies that focus on receptive people, which will give a great harvest in today's mission.
