Teologi Konvergensi dan Kerukunan Antar Umat Beragama
Abstrak: Religion does not
occur in human life as a single reality, which cannot be separated from
historical and cultural realm. It consists achievement of rational and
spiritual domain, supporting historical needs of mankind life. Religion
presents itself as an inseparable part of human history at various level of
civilizations. When debate of truth claims and salvation becomes a major theme,
the theology of convergence is needed to create inter-religious harmony. The
main purpose of theological convergence is to unite essential elements of
religion. Religion and its adherents can be unified in one concept of universal
theology. If convergence theology can be fully understood, it surely will build
inter-religious harmony. Besides bring opportunities to create inter-religious
harmony, theological convergence also faced a number of challenges that will be
an obstacle to the realization of the ideals of society for religious harmony.
Therefore, before apply the convergence of theological discourse to the
society, we need to identify the challenges that will be faced in order to
minimize the negative possibilities that may hamper the main objective
theological convergence. Therefore, this paper will also be focused on the
discussion about the challenges of theological convergence
