FIELD EDUCATION WITHIN FOUR THEOLOGICAL SCHOOLS IN INDONESIA Yonathan Wijaya Lo One of the problems faced by a theological school from time to time is how to integrate the academic discipline with the field education, which serves to train theological students for readiness in ministry within the church. Often times, the field education does not receive proper attention, such as good supervision, sufficient opportunity to serve, and so on, from the theological school. This causes the graduate students to be insufficiently prepared for their service to the Lord. To be able to serve well, the student must be well prepared in spiritual maturity, personal maturity, competent knowledge, and readiness in ministry The attainment of these four aspects of preparedness should become the goal of the theological school Field education is the key to achieving that goal and a means to the integration of the academic discipline and the field ministry I believe that the existence of the theological school is not only to teach and pass on the content of belief, but also to train the ministerial candidate for readiness in ministry Therefore, the purpose of this dissertation is to develop a model of integration of discipline and the field education are integral parts of the educational whole which should not be separated. I propose five hypotheses to test the effectiveness of the field education of four theological schools in Indonesia. Based on the collected survey data, it becomes evident that the field education programs within these four schools have not yet fully managed to achieve the ideal goals of a field education program in the areas of experience of internship, supervision, full scope of ministerial duties, and integration of the classroom study and competence in ministry. The possibility of successfully developing an optimal field education program depends on a clear understanding of the purpose for the existence of the theological school and its relation to the church, and the awareness of faculty members of the importance of the field education itself. The theological school should handle field education thoughtfully, not as a secondary job within the school I believe that the model of field education proposed in this dissertation will bring significant results for the theological school which seeks to further develop its field education as an essential aspect of theological training.

The Appropriation of Passover in Luke-Acts Dany Christopher Within Lukan scholarship, studies on the theme of Passover have mostly been confined to the pericope of the Last Supper (Luke 22:1–20). Few have ventured outside it and explored the presence, let alone the significance, of the theme in other passages throughout Luke-Acts. Thus, the aim of this study is to show where, how, and why Luke appropriates the theme of Passover in his writings. I propose that besides the passion narrative, allusions to Passover can be found in three other sets of passages: the infancy narrative, the Parousia discourses in Luke 12 and Luke 17, and the rescue stories of Peter (Acts 12) and Paul (Acts 27). My investigation shows that the theme of Passover plays a major role in how Luke structures his narratives. I also show that Luke associates Passover with Jesus’ passion, enabling him to convey the message of God’s salvation. The pairing of Passover and passion for explaining the salvation of God is not limited to the passion narrative. Instead, it is present in other Passover-related passages throughout Luke-Acts. Using the foundational story of Passover in Exodus 12–13 as my point of departure, I begin my research with an analysis of references to Passover in early Jewish writings (Chapter 2). This chapter helps to set Luke within broader Jewish interpretive traditions. Next, I examine the Lukan text, beginning with the passion narrative (Chapter 3), where allusions to Passover are most concentrated and least disputed by scholars. This chapter prepares us to understand allusions to Passover in the infancy narrative (Chapter 4), two Parousia discourses (Chapter 5), and two particular rescue stories in Acts (Chapter 6). The final chapter synthesises all the findings (Chapter 7).

THE UNIVERSAL ESCHATOLOGICAL WORSHIP OF CHRIST IN PAUL'S LETTER TO THE PHILIPPIANS Surif This is a study on the Christological passage in Paul's letter to the Philippians (26-11), which focuses on one exegetical issue, the rhetorical function of the exaltation part (vv. 9-11) of this passage in the letter. To solve this exegetical issue, scholars usually situate this exaltation section within either the lordship-obedience of the humiliation-vindication schemes While these two paradigmatic readings have contributed to a better understanding of the role of this Christological passage in the letter, they tend to undermine the role of the universal eschatological worship of Jesus Christ at the end of the passage (vv. 10-11) in Paul's paracleses. The present study, therefore, intends to explore and highlight the significance of this eschatological worship motif in two major discourses in the letter, 1.27-2:18 and 3:2-4:4 The importance of the motif of the universal eschatological worship of Christ is noted in the examination of its Jewish and imperial coordinates. With regard to the former, the motif is carefully reworking of the biblical visions of the universal eschatological worship of YHWH in Isaiah 45:22-24 LXX in order to accommodate two complementary interests: (1) the Jewish eschatological hope that all nations will worship YHWH at the eschaton in holiness and (2) the Christian conviction about the universal worship of Christ on the day of judgment (cf Romans 14:10-12). Accordingly, this eschatological worship motif has a strong ethical impetus: at the day of Christ the Philippian believers are expected to worship Christ in holiness With regard to the latter, this worship motif has anti-imperial stance, as it responds to the struggle of the Philippian Christians who lived in the pagan imperial society of Philippi. The passage claims the supremacy of Jesus Christ over Caesar Augustus who was regarded as the God-sent emperor to save the world and thus worshipped across the Roman Empire, including in Philippi. In this light, this worship motif exalts the readers to remain faithful to their faith in Christ, their gospel-like conduct, and their proclamation of his gospel until the coming of the true savior Jesus Christ (3:20). To appreciate all this. Paul's eschatological frame of mind, which is expressed in his "think this statements (1:6-11; 2:5-11; 3:4-15), becomes crucially important. These passages call the readers to seriously work out their holiness through participation in God's salvific work within and among them until the day of Christ (1:6), so that on that very day they may all be found perfectly holy (1:10-11), worthy to join the universal worship of Christ (2:10-11). Accordingly, the two schemes noted above need to be situated within this call. Their obedience to Christ's lordship and their suffering-humiliation are being part of their active participation in God's work within them to perfect his salvation. Their eschatological vindication (resurrection) is not the end purpose, but to prepare them to join the universal worship of Jesus Christ in holiness.

THE FAITH MOTIF IN JOHN'S GOSPEL: A NARRATIVE AFFROACH Armand Barus The thesis is a study of the faith motif in John's Gospel. A modified narrative criticism has been employed to investigate the faith motif. The theoretical foundation is laid briefly in chapter 2. The investigation has demonstrated that faith is the main motif in the Book of Belief (chs. 1-12). The structure of the Book of Belief reflects faith as the central concept. The setting not only brings the readers back to the life situation in Jesus' time but also relates closely to the faith motif. The characters who are the carriers of the faith motif are divided, as the plot shows, into two opposing groups, i.e. the believers and unbelievers. They have exposed the multifarious dimensions of the faith motif. In Chapter 3 the characters dramatize the personal, communal and universal aspects of the faith motif. Chapter 4 shows how the σχίσμα emerges and how the characters dramatize not only the σκάνδαλον το participate in the divine community but also how one's relationship with Jesus who is the object of faith entails transforming his words into deeds. In Chapter 5 the characters dramatize that faith in Jesus entails witnessing about him and is essentially relationship with him. The characters embedded in the narrative world have dramatized that the Gospel is written to initiate faith and to deepen faith in Jesus. The characters dramatize the evangelistic and edificatory aspects of faith. Faith in Jesus means relating to him and consequently causes a believer to join the universal community of believers and at the same time to be integrated into the divine community. Faith is essentially relationship with new communities in and through one's relationship with Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God.
