| Abstract | ||
| Dialogue is a primary necessity in a multi-cultural society like Indonesia. As important for multi cultural society as the dialogue itself is exploring an appropriate method toward dialogue. The thesis is motivated by the aforementioned interest. It illustrates that the Indonesian Moslem perspective emphasizes fiqh which makes it necessary that a dialogical approach is conducted in the same perspective, namely fiqh. The case study of the Ma’had Salafiyah Syafi’iyah Sukorejo Situbondo examines and evaluates the establishment of a fiqh dialogis (dialogical fiqh). The major emphasis of this thesis is on the of the Ma’had Aly as a center for the establishment of fiqh dialogis and fiqh dialogis itself as a new phenomenon in the discourse of inter-religious dialogue. In the discourse about inter-religious dialogue in Indonesia, both Islamic scholars and Islamic institutions have established several methods of inter-religious dialogue. None of these approaches, however, were established on the basis of fiqh; rather, they were methodologically grounded in theological or mystical perspectives. Even though these approaches make positive contributions, their lack of the perspective of fiqh renders them less appropriate for Indonesian Moslem society which is religiously oriented towards fiqh. The Ma’had Aly Salafiyah Syafi’iyah Sukorejo Situbondo as the center of fiqh studies has been training its students to develop a new idea of dialogue by applying fiqh as the main theoretical underpinning of inter-religious dialogue. Using qualitative research methods and combining these for the analytical process with the theoretical approaches to inter-religious dialogue as proposed by Leonard Swiddler as well as with Sahal Mahfudz’ theory of fiqh kontextual (contextual fiqh), this thesis answers questions surrounding fiqh as an alternative method in the development of inter-religious dialogue and Ma’had ‘Aly as its agent. This research shows that Ma’had Aly is successfully creating a new product of fiqh, the so-called fiqh dialogis (dialogical fiqh) employing three strategies: revitalization of ushul al-fiqh, presenting alternative and competing texts, as well as broadening the area of takwil. Through this process Ma’had Aly has produced a new fiqh that not only creates the possibility for a dialogue between text and context but also gives space to the “others.” These efforts have resulted in a new, comprehensive and responsible fiqh both in social and methodological perspectives. |

| Title | : | The Contribution of Interdenominational Church to Interreligious Dialogue: A Case Study of Yogyakarta International Congregation |
| Author | : | Irawati Setiawan (CRCS, 2005) |
| Keywords | : | YIC, interdenominational, inter-religious dialogue, the other religious and the other suffering |
| Abstract | ||
| This research aims at knowing the contribution of an interdenominational Church in the frame of inter-religious dialogue. Religion has passed the age of monologue to the age of dialogue, including Christianity. Concerning that reason, this research deeply delves into the Yogyakarta International Congregation (YIC) on how it runs the community and explores the contribution of YIC into inter-religious dialogue. Two fundamental questions will be answered in this research. These are what position does YIC hold and what are the contributions of YIC to inter-religious dialogue in the Indonesia present context. The writer believes that the way YIC organizes the community which is mixed of Christian attitudes ranging from the conservative to the liberal makes significant contribution to inter-religious dialogue. This research requires two steps: library and field research. Library research was used to find a theoretical framework for the research and for analyzing the collected data. The field research was used to tract the recent development of YIC and to collect data related to the research problems through in-depth interview and observation. Hence, the approach concentrates on the sociology of religion to analyze the existence of YIC through its profiles, leadership and activities in order to know the function and contribution made by YIC. The way YIC runs its community positioned YIC in terms of pluralist. Through that position and how YIC runs its community, this research explores the contribution of YIC in the frame of inter-religious dialogue in Indonesia context. YIC with love as their common ground which colored its attitude toward the “other religious” and the “other suffering” can be an appropriate model of dialogue in Indonesian context addressing religious conflict and the “other religious” and the “other suffering”. |

| Title | : | Radical Islam In Surakarta And Response Of The Christian Community |
| Author | : | Ismail Yahya (CRCS, 2003) |
| Abstract | ||
| This research surveys various response to make sociological sense of the diverse Muslim movements often lumped together under the label of radical Islam. The respondent of this research is the Christian community with diverse social backgrounds. The research took place in Surakarta or Solo, as it commonly known, the second largest city after Jakarta in which the radical Islam movements have grown and developed considerably. The focus of this research is the response of the Christian community in Surakarta to groups and activities of radical Islam. The objective of this research is to describe and to explore (1) reactions and perceptions of The Christian community to the emergence and activities of groups of radical Islam in Surakarta. (2) Perceptions of the Christian community to the power of radical Islam to implement their agenda. (3) Spaces for integration and conflict that involve these two religious communities in Surakarta: Islam and Christianity. (4) Future prospects of interreligious relations. This is qualitative research. Primary data are unearthed from observation, and in depth interview. Respondents are determined by snowballing method. Meanwhile, secondary data are gained from documents, such as books, magazines, newspaper, ecncyclopedias, and official documents of the local government of Surakarta. The data are analyzed by descriptive qualitative method. The findings of the research demonstrate that (1) there is shifting paradigm among Christians not seeing the emergence of groups of radical Islam to e directed against and hostility to Christianity, but rather as manifestation of solidarity among Muslims. However, the advance of a religious radical from certain religion can revive -among other factors- a same radical attitude even more radical from other religious community, it creates counter radical, although their characteristics are different. It can be mentioned here, if radical Islam in Surakarta, due to majority, tends to outward political orientation like sweeping of ‘evil’ places and tourists, demonstrations and mass mobilizations, while radical Christians tends to, due to minority and theological influences, inward spiritual orientation and in some cases doing religious missions and proselytism. (2) Culturally, the power of groups of radical Islam to manifest their agenda fails because there is no significant number of supporters and sympathy from abangan and priyayi. (3) Conflict and integration are inherently factors attached to humans. People of Surakarta have independently spaces for social integration, but also have conflict spaces that easily be lit. Thus, creating wide, natural, permanent, sustainable, and bottom-up spaces for integration caneliminate and abate social conflicts in society. (4) Good or bad of interreligious relations, particularly Muslim Christians relations in Indonesia depends on how far each of religious communities is, the worse to their relations. Thus, religious elites always be hoped to maintain their followers to be not radical. |

| Title | : | Hamka’s View In Regard To The People Of The Book: A Study of Qur’anic Verses Concerning the People of the Book through Tafsir al Azhar |
| Author | : | Iswahyudi, S. Ag (CRCS, 2005) |

| Community that gets a lot of attentions in Qur’an is those who are called as the People of the Book. Quranic view of the People of the Book is vary, negative and positive, the matters concerning their religious attitudes as well as their attitude toward Islam and Muslims. Nevertheless they have a distinctive position in Islam. Accordingly various arguments around who are regarded as the People of the Book become significant for its legal and theological consequences. Explicitly al-Qur’an seems to refer to two religious communities Jews and Christians when it talks about the People of the Book. However, different terms apply concerning the People of the Book as well as stating another community result to possibility of extending range and meaning of the People of the Book. Those phenomena will be elaborated through Tafsir al-Azhar written by Hamka. Therefore this thesis is about Hamka’s view toward those who considered as the People of the Book. The research bases it main sources on Hamka’s Tafsir Books that is Tafsir al-Azhar. For that reason the thesis is aimed at reconstruction of Hamka’s view of the People of the Book through his Tafsir al-Azha,r matters are concerning theological views and interreligious relationships. In order to carry out this the writer however collected some relevant verses of the Qur’an to the topic and elaborated them together with other sources inductively and deductively. Hamka’s view toward the People of the Book theologically and sociologically, the matters concerning theological view such as salvation of the People of the Book, interreligious relationships like interreligious marriage and Muslims’ attitudes toward them to some extent are in line to other commentators of the Qur’an. Nevertheless, his life experiences as well as Indonesian context have enriched his views toward other religion, and finally his views will be examined through interreligious framework. |

| Title | : | Seni Slawatan Katolik di Paroki Ganjuran: Sebuah Kajian Inkulturasi dari Perspektif Religi dan Budaya |
| Author | : | Latifah (CRCS, 2007) |
| Abstract | ||
| The Catholic Church since Vatican Council II had advised the Church to be open in the adoption of local cultures as long as those were not against the teachings of the Catholic religion. The Catholic Church had defined this as inculturation. Slawatan in the Church had its beginning at the Promasan Parish in Kulon Progo and has now spread into many other areas in the DIY province. Slawatan in Ganjuran has a unique history, that it was developed in the 1980s in order to support the implementation of P4. However, since the collapse of the New Order Regime in 1998, Slawatan has been transformed to become part of the Catholic religious ritual. The transformation had been guided by Promasan Catholic community, among others, Yosef Kartoyono. There are many important values that contributed to the continuation of the Catholic Slawatan in the Mulyodadi Lor: as a communication medium; as a consolidation medium for the religious community; as a prayer medium; as a medium for moral teachings; and as a medium for self actualization through art. The Council of Ganjuran Parish had developed policy on the inculturation of Slawatan, which are: terbangan music, in terms of lyrics and arrangement, has to be in accordance with living values, as prescribed by the Church; that the presence of the music should not negatively affect the understanding of faith; that the presence of the music in the Church could integrate the Church and the local culture. While among the young generation, there are several point of views, in response to the discontinued regeneration of Slawatan in Ganjuran Parish, which are: that the young generation do not fully reside in their village; that the use of refined Javanese language was not fully understood by the young generation; that there was a lack of fundamental skills in terbangan musical instruments. |
