Identitas-Identitas Teologis Kristen Protestan Indosesia Pasca Orde Baru: Sebuah Pemetaan

Protestant Christianity in Indonesia cannot be inconsistant with the general principle of Protestantism worldwide: sola scriptura. That is why biblical identity is one of the identity markers of Protestant Christians in Indonesia. Also, it is impossible to understand the identity of Protestant Christianity in Indonesia, apart from christology as a marker of the identity in appreciating the second general principle of Protestantism: sola gratia. The unity of God as the trinity has also become another marker of identity. In the past these three identity markers are often seen as distinctive identities to “deny” theological and soteriological truth claims of local religions and Islam. But the findings of this article show that the development of Protestant Christian theology in Indonesia after the New Order is more open to and dialogical with the theological and soteriological beliefs of local and Islamic religions. Although it must be admitted that in terms of trinitarian identity it still takes time to enter the dialogue with those religious traditions
