Shema sebagai Landasan Teologis Pendidikan Iman Antargenerasi dalam Keluarga Kristen
Abstract
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perikop Shema (Ul. 6:4-9) sebagai landasan teologis integral bagi pendidikan iman antargenerasi dalam keluarga Kristen. Melalui metode eksposisi teks dan analisis teologis, kajian ini mengungkap bahwa Shema menyusun suatu kerangka pendidikan ilahi yang koheren dan hierarkis. Fondasinya terletak pada otoritas perintah ilahi yang mengikat ("Dengarlah"), yang menetapkan pendidikan iman sebagai mandat kovenan, bukan pilihan kultural. Otoritas ini mengarahkan kurikulum inti pada pengenalan akan Allah yang esa (YHWH), yang menjadi pusat segala pengajaran. Kurikulum ini bermuara pada tujuan puncak, yakni pembentukan kasih total kepada Allah dengan segenap hati, jiwa, dan kekuatan. Akhirnya, kerangka tersebut dioperasionalisasikan melalui metode kontekstual-holistik yang mengintegrasikan iman ke dalam seluruh ritme dan lingkungan kehidupan keluarga. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa Shema menawarkan pondasi teologis-pedagogis yang tangguh bagi keluarga Kristen kontemporer untuk menjalankan perannya sebagai komunitas pembentuk iman utama, mengatasi tantangan fragmentasi dan sekularisasi melalui suatu model pendidikan yang hidup, relasional, dan berpusat pada Allah.
