<p class="abstrak">Mathematics is a subject that is considered a scourge by most students. They think that mathematics is difficult, complicated, and boring. However, if we look at the process of creation, everything in this universe (including mathematics) is God's creation and everything is really good. This truth needs to be revealed to students by the mathematics teacher. Unfortunately, many math teachers make students dislike mathematics. Therefore, this paper aims to describe the role of Christian mathematics teachers to guide students in viewing mathematics according to God's perspective. The research method used is the literature study method. The results of this study indicate that the role of Christian mathematics teachers includes: (1) appreciating and exploring mathematics first; (2) developing the four teacher competencies; and (3) understand the objectives of learning mathematics. Christian mathematics teachers also need to be careful not to fall into the sin of idolatry and pride by asking the Holy Spirit for help to be enabled in each of their ministries.</p><p class="abstrak"><strong>BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRACT: </strong>Matematika merupakan salah satu mata pelajaran yang dianggap momok oleh siswa.

Namun jika melihat pada proses penciptaan maka segala yang ada di alam semesta ini (termasuk matematika) merupakan ciptaan Allah dan semuanya sungguh amat baik. Kebenaran ini perlu disingkapkan kepada siswa oleh guru matematika. Namun, banyak guru matematika yang justru membuat siswa tidak menyukai matematika. Oleh sebab itu, tulisan ini bertujuan untuk memaparkan peran guru matematika Kristen di dalam menuntun siswa dalam memandang matematika sesuai dengan cara pandang Allah. Adapun metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode studi kepustakaan. Hasil penelitian ini memaparkan bahwa peran guru matematika Kristen meliputi: (1) mengapresiasi dan menjelajahi matematika terlebih dahulu; (2) mengembangkan keempat kompetensi guru; serta (3) memahami tujuan pembelajaran matematika. Guru matematika Kristen juga perlu berhati-hati agar tidak jatuh ke dalam dosa penyembahan berhala dan kesombongan dengan meminta pertolongan kepada Roh Kudus agar dimampukan dalam setiap pelayanannya.</p><p class="abstrak"> </p>

Christ’s healing of humanity consists, crucially, in forming human beings for loving relationship with himself and others. In this respect, Christ also takes the role of the beautiful beloved. Believers become pilgrims by falling in love with the beautiful Christ by the initiative of the Holy Spirit, who cleanses their eyes to see him as beautiful and enkindles desire in their hearts. By desiring and loving the beautiful Christ, the believer is conformed to him and learns to walk his path. Desiring the beautiful Christ forms a believing community shaped aesthetically and morally for a particular way of life: pilgrimage to the heavenly homeland. Formation is both earthly and eschatological, for so too is the journey and the activity of the pilgrim.

AbstractThe doctrine of the Holy Trinity is the product of divine revelation, and is a doctrine of divine worship. The expressions of this doctrine come out of worshipful response to divine revelation demonstrating the social nature of the Trinity and God's incorporating the human creature in His own sociality and personal pluralism. The perfect social union between God and the man and woman that he had created was disrupted by human sin. God redeemed the fallen creature, and at the heart of this redemptive experience lies the doctrine of Holy Trinity, with the Holy Spirit as the communing agent of all the experiences of salvation. The Spirit is especially active in the provision and fulfillment of sanctification, which is presented here as the continuum of 'holiness-unity-love'. He produces the graces of the Holy Spirit – the fruit of the Spirit. He implants the Seed of the new birth which is the word of God. He purifies by the blood of Jesus. He establishes union and communion among believers and with God through His Son Jesus. This is holiness.

AbstractThis paper explores the key characteristics of Count Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf's mission theology that influenced the early Moravian missional practice. After discussing the early eighteenth century European historical context and the Spirit-renewal of the Herrnhut community, the paper considers Zinzendorf's theology on the death of Christ, the prominent role of the Holy Spirit, and harvesting the "first fruits." These theological distinctives contributed in determining the motivation and message of these pioneer Protestant missionaries. It then takes into account some of the subsequent methods such as working with the marginalized, practicing the love of Christ in cultural humility, and preaching the gospel in the vernacular. The main contributions of the early Moravians to mission were that they brought an understanding that spiritual renewal preceded mission renewal, the atoning death of Christ is central to mission theology, and a Protestant recognition that it had an obligation to do mission. On the other hand, the foremost negative aspects of Moravian mission were their obsession with the physical death of Christ and an ignorance of the broader social issues that at times resulted in a lack of contextualization, religious syncretism, indifference to social justice, and extreme subjectivism.

A TRANSFORMATIVE THEOLOGY of Christian education is defended against reconstructionist alternatives. Any authentic theology of education should be grounded in the ontic reality of the divine economy of salvation. Though important, noetic questions of theological epistemology, together with pragmatic issues of pedagogic strategy, are not to be taken as foundational. Certain traits of Lutheran theology lend superficial support to a reconstructionist theology, but only at the expense of introducing a crippling dualism between faith and creation. The Biblical picture of the completion of the new covenant and new creation through the work of the Holy Spirit lends strong support to a transformative theology.

Contemplation, according to Thomas Aquinas, is the central goal of our life; yet a scholarly study on this topic has not appeared for over seventy years. This book fills that obvious gap. From an interdisciplinary perspective this study considers the epistemological and metaphysical foundations of the contemplative act; the nature of the active and contemplative lives in light of Aquinas’s Dominican calling; the role of faith, charity, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit in contemplation; and contemplation and the beatific vision. Key questions addressed are: What is contemplation? What is truth? How can we know God? How do faith and reason relate to one another? How does Aquinas envisage the relations between theology and philosophy? What role does charity play in contemplation? Throughout this book the author argues that Aquinas espouses a profoundly intellective notion of contemplation in the strictly speculative sense, which culminates in a non-discursive moment of insight (intuitus simplex). In marked contrast to his contemporaries Aquinas therefore rejects a sapiential or affective brand of theology. He also employs a broader notion of contemplation, which can be enjoyed by all Christians, in which the gifts of the Holy Spirit are of central importance. This book should appeal to all those who are interested in this key aspect of Aquinas’s thought. It provides a lucid account of central aspects of Aquinas’s metaphysics, epistemology, theology, and spirituality. It also offers new insights into the nature of the theological discipline as Aquinas sees it, and how theology relates to philosophy.
