Dinka Nehemia Utomo

Abstract


Abstract. This article explores sexuality within the context of Christian theology and highlights how a holistic and theological understanding of sexuality can influence the Christian family's understanding of sexuality. Sexuality is seen as a gift from God encompassing physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions, and should be understood within the context of marriage as a relationship reflecting love and commitment. This study conducted by a descriptive-critical approach, utilizing theological perspectives on sexuality from a historical perspective, including the views of the Church Fathers and reformers such as Martin Luther and John Calvin, as well as contemporary thought. The result of the study showed that the theological framework of sexuality encompasses biological, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects, and how sexuality can be a means of existential meaning in human life.

Abstrak. Artikel ini mengeksplorasi seksualitas dalam konteks teologi Kristen, dan menyoroti bagaimana pemahaman holistik dan teologis tentang seksualitas dapat memberi pengaruh bagi peningkatan pemahaman keluarga Kristen tentang seksualitas. Seksualitas dipandang sebagai anugerah Tuhan yang mencakup dimensi fisik, emosional, dan spiritual, serta harus dipahami dalam konteks perkawinan sebagai hubungan yang mencerminkan kasih dan komitmen. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif-kritis dengan menggunakan sudut pandang teologi tentang seksualitas dari perspektif sejarah, termasuk pandangan para Bapa Gereja dan reformator seperti Martin Luther dan Yohanes Calvin, serta pemikiran kontemporer. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa bingkai teologi seksualitas mencakup aspek biologis, emosional, sosial, dan spiritual, serta bagaimana seksualitas dapat menjadi sarana pemaknaan eksistensial dalam kehidupan manusia.
