Miskin dan Kaya Dalam Injil Lukas dan Teologi Pembebasan

Harvey J. Sindima observed Liberation Theology as it flourished in Latin America, Africa, Asia, and the United States. The social situation in that society has some similarities in Luke's community. According to Philip Francis Esler's research, Luke's theology seeks to answer the social situation in Luke's community, especially regarding the relationship between the rich and the poor. This study aims to review Sindima's review of Liberation Theology based on Philip Francis Esler's thoughts on the relationship between rich and poor in Luke's Gospel. In Sindima's writings, the involvement of the rich has not been found as an effort to minimize the suffering of the poor. In this study, the author uses an analytical method. The result is that the good news for the poor in Liberation Theology is in line with the good news in Luke's Gospel. Moreover, in Luke's Gospel the liberation of the poor is not only the responsibility of the poor themselves as in the Theology of Liberation in Sindima's description, but also the responsibility of the rich as part of a sharing community. Abstrak: Harvey J. Sindima mengamati Teologi Pembebasan yang berkembang di Amerika Latin, Afrika, Asia, dan Amerika Serikat. Situasi sosial dalam masyarakat tersebut memiliki beberapa kesamaan dalam komunitas Lukas. Menurut penelitian Philip Francis Esler, teologi Lukas berupaya menjawab situasi sosial dalam komunitas Lukas, terutama menyangkut hubungan orang kaya dan orang miskin. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meninjau uraian Sindima tentang Teologi Pembebasan berdasarkan pemikiran Philip Francis Esler berkenaan dengan hubungan orang miskin dan kaya dalam Injil Lukas. Dalam tulisan Sindima masih belum ditemukan keterlibatan orang kaya sebagai upaya meminimalisir penderitaan orang miskin. Dalam penelitian ini, penulis menggunakan metode analitis. Hasil tinjauan ini adalah bahwa kabar baik bagi orang miskin dalam Teologi Pembebasan sejalan dengan pemberitaan kabar baik dalam Injil Lukas. Lebih dari itu, dalam Injil Lukas pembebasan terhadap orang miskin bukan hanya menjadi tanggung jawab orang miskin itu sendiri sebagaimana dalam Teologi Pembebasan dalam uraian Sindima, tetapi juga merupakan tanggung jawab orang kaya sebagai bagian dari komunitas yang saling berbagi.

Relevansi Pendekatan Kultural Linguistik Dengan Pluralitas Agama di Indonesia

Indonesia is a plural state. Not only ethnicity, race and group, but also plural in religion where religious plurality is also a separate problem. The problem of religious plurality raises many problems that cause friction in life together. The linguistic cultural approach offered by George A. Lindbeck provides an alternative for relations for believers of diverse religion. Lindbeck's offer consistently provides space for the identity of the believer's faith without having to equate with the faith of other religions. Likewise, consistently provide space for appreciation for other religious faiths. Abstrak: Indonesia merupakan Negara yang sangat plural. Tidak hanya suku, ras dan golongan tetapi plural juga dalam agama dimana pluralitas agama juga menjadi persolan tersendiri. Persoalan pluralitas agama tersebut menimbulkan banyak permasalahan yang menimbulkan gesekan dalam kehidupan bersama. Pendekatan kultural linguistik yang ditawarkan George A Lindbeck memberikan alternatif bagi relasi bagi pemeluk agama yang sangat majemuk tersebut. Tawaran Lindbeck tersebut tetap memberikan ruang bagi identitas iman umat, tanpa harus menyamakan iman pribadi dengan iman liyan. Pun, tetap memberikan ruang apresiasi bagi iman agama yang lain.

Perkembangan masyarakat Indonesia menuju masyarakat yang maju secara ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi menuntut perubahan-perubahan terjadi di dalam keluarga. Perubahan masyarakat mempengaruhi perubahan dan perkembagan setiap individu dalam keluarga. Orang tua sebagai pemimpin dalam keluarga lebih banyak berada di luar rumah untuk mengembangkan karir dan meningkatkan kesejahteraan hidup keluarga. Wanita lebih memilih mengembangkan karir di bidang pekerjaannya daripada menjadi ibu rumah tangga. Dampaknya anak-anak kurang bahkan tidak mendapat waktu dan perhatian yang cukup dari orang tua. Artinya anak-anak kurang atau tidak mendapat pendidikan yang memadai dari orang tua. Beberapa waktu belakang ini, perubahan terjadi di masyarakat Indonesia. Indonesia mengalami pademik virus-19 yang mengubah banyak hal termasuk sistem dan tempat pekerjaan. Lembaga atau perusahaan pada umumnya mengisyaratkan agar kegiatan atau pekerjaan dilakukan di rumah.
