Teologi Pengharapan dalam Dunia yang tidak Pasti: Studi Sistematika tentang Harapan Kristen di Era Post Sekuler
Abstract
ABSTRACT
In this study, the theology of hope is viewed from the perspective of the modern world, which is plagued by uncertainty in social and spiritual matters. This research focuses on the post-secular era, characterized by the return of religiosity to the public sphere amidst a crisis of meaning. This article explores the theological understanding of Christian hope based on biblical foundations, dogmatic reflections, and pastoral implications. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach using literature review and systematic analysis of theology. The findings of this study indicate that Christian hope is not only eschatological and transcendent but also plays a prophetic and transformational role in addressing the dynamics of a plural and fragile world. Hope serves to maintain faith, build social reconciliation, and provide a humanistic ethic worldwide. Therefore, the study found that the theology of hope is very helpful in understanding Christian faith and participating in building a more just, peaceful, and hope fulfuture.
Abstrak
Dalam penelitian ini, teologi pengharapan dilihat dari sudut pandang dunia modern yang dilanda akan ketidakpastian dalam hal sosial, dan spiritual. Penelitian ini difokuskan pada era pasca-sekuler, yang ditandai dengan kembalinya religiusitas ke ruang publik di tengah krisis makna. Artikel ini mengeksplorasi pemahaman teologis tentang pengharapan Kristen berdasarkan fondasi biblika, refleksi dogmatis, dan implikasi pastoral. Metode yang digunakan dalam menguraikan kajian ini melalui pendekatan kualitatif dengan menggunakan studi kepustakaan dan menganalisis teologi secara sistematik. Hasil temuan pada kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa pengharapan Kristen tidak hanya bersifat eskatologis dan transenden, tetapi juga memiliki peran profetik dan transformasional dalam menangani dinamika dunia yang plural dan rapuh. Pengharapan berfungsi untuk mempertahankan iman, membangun rekonsiliasi sosial, dan memberikan etika kemanusiaan di seluruh dunia. Oleh sebab itu, kajian menemukan bahwa teologi pengharapan sangat membantu memahami iman Kristen dan berpartisipasi dalam membangun masa depan yang lebih adil, damai, dan berpengharapan.
