Abstract

Inkarnasi Logos merupakan suatu tema yang penting dalam wacana teologi Kristen. Dalam konteks pluralisme saat ini Kristologi ini ditinjau kembali secara kritis oleh para teolog (terutama teolog agama-agama) berdasarkan pada asumsi bahwa gagasan ini sangat eksklusif dan tidak mempromosikan dialog antar agama. Dalam artikel ini saya mencoba untuk menguji kembali asumsi ini dengan didasarkan pada investigasi biblis terhadap konsep Logos, terutama konsep Injil Yohanes. Menurut Yohanes, Logos memiliki tiga peran penting sebagai agen penciptaan, agen penyataan, dan agen penyelamatan. Sebagai agen penciptaan Logos diperkenalkan sebagai mitra Allah dalam penciptaan ‘semua’ (panta). Dalam hal peran penyataan dan penyelamatan, Logos ditampilkan sebagai yang berinkarnasi yang membebaskan orang dari penderitaan melalui ‘tanda-tanda’ sebagaimana dicatat di dalam Injil Yohanes. Tiga ide yang menarik tentang Logos Yohanes ini – terutama gagasan universalitas Logos dan Kristologi pembebasan agama-agama – pada akhirnya akan direfleksikan dalam konteks pluralisme agama.

(The incarnation of “Logos” is an essential and important theme in Christian theological discourse. In the context of religious pluralism today this Christology is critically reviewed by theologians based on the assumption that it is too exclusive and does not promote the interreligious dialogue. In this article, I try to examine that assumption based on the biblical investigation to the concept of Logos, especially in the Gospel of John. According to John, Logos has three important roles as the agent of creation, revelation, and salvation. As the agent of creation Logos is presented as God’s co-creator who partook in the creation of “all” (panta). In term of his role in revelation and salvation, Logos is presented as the Incarnated who liberated people from suffering through ‘the signs’ as noted in the Gospel. These three interesting ideas of Logos of the Gospel of John – especially universality of Logos and the liberation Christology of religions – will finally be reflected in the context of religious pluralism)
