Vol. 4 No. 2 (2023): Focus
FOCUS Vol. 4 No. 2 (2023) explores the dynamics of religion and culture in diverse societal contexts, highlighting issues such as pluralism, modernity, and spiritual adaptation. This edition includes studies on religious coexistence in Sungai Nibung, the Baduy community's response to modernization, and Muhammadiyah's role as a nonviolent social movement led by KH. Ahmad Dahlan. Symbols of religious moderation in Kampung Rehobot, youth interfaith dialogues in Indonesia, and reflections on Catholic youth initiatives inspired by the Abu Dhabi Document and Bandung Synod 2015 further enrich the discourse. The acculturation of Islam and Javanese culture through Rontekan arts in Boyolali and Jean-Luc Marion's apologetic argument on Catholicism amid secularism underline the importance of fostering harmony, inclusivity, and cultural resilience in pluralistic societies.
