Jurnal Teologi Pambelum

The final article by May Linda Sari, Ripaldi, and Endy explores the dialogue between the concept of the house in Banjar culture and the theological concept of "Oikos" in the New Testament. In Banjar culture, the house is not merely a place of residence but also reflects spiritual and social values, including social stratification and religious principles. This research emphasizes that the foundation of the house, both physically and symbolically, represents the meaning of life and resilience, aligning with Christ's teaching on building a house on the rock in Matthew 7:24-27, as a symbol of the strength of faith and obedience.

We hope that the articles in this edition will enrich insights and stimulate constructive discussions among academics, practitioners, and church leaders. Enjoy reading this edition!
