Buku ke-16: IMAN KRISTEN ATAU BERPIKIR POSITIF?: Perspektif Alkitabiah (Denny Teguh Sutandio)



“Yes, you can!”, “Dahsyat!”, dll, begitulah yel-yel para motivator yang sering kali kita dengar di Indonesia. Banyak orang Kristen terpikat oleh mereka, karena apa yang mereka ajarkan begitu menarik. Berpikir positif merupakan ide terkenal sejak abad XIX hingga abad ini. Para tokohnya adalah Napoleon Hill, Anthony Robbins, Norman Vincent Peale, Robert H. Schuller, W. Clement Stone, Zig Ziglar, dll. Di dalam Kekristenan, konsep ini diimpor oleh seorang pendeta dan penulis buku laris abad ini, yaitu Joel Osteen. Ada apa dengan berpikir positif? Apa ide di balik berpikir positif? Apakah ajaran ini sesuai dengan Alkitab? Lalu, apa kata Alkitab tentang iman? Benarkah iman Kristen identik dengan berpikir positif?

Apa kata mereka tentang buku ini?
“… Buku ini hadir pada waktu yang tepat, membuka kedok gerakan positive thinking dan menawarkan jalan iman yang Alkitabiah untuk menjadi orang Kristen yang bertanggung jawab di zaman ini.”
Pdt. Timotius Fu, M.Div., M.Th.
Dosen Theologi Sistematika dan Praktika di Seminari Alkitab Asia Tenggara (SAAT) Malang

“… Buku yang dipaparkan oleh Denny Teguh Sutandio secara sistematis dan kronologis ini telah menunjukkan bahwa perbedaan antara iman Kristen dan positive thinking sangat jelas sekali. Kaum awam dan penggiat theologi diencourage untuk membaca dan menjadikan referensi untuk melihat dasar perbedaan. Mari kita buktikan bahwa iman Kristen terbentuk atas dasar trust dan belief in the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Ev. Halim Wiryadinata, M.Th. (UK), M.M. (Ind)
Dosen Perjanjian Baru di Sekolah Tinggi Theologi Pelita Bangsa, Jakarta

“… buku teks yang … menjawab berbagai pertanyaan serta kerancuan pengertian yang nampaknya Alkitabiah, tetapi yang justru lebih bersifat subjektif dan humanis. Buku ini perlu dibaca dan disimak baik-baik oleh para mahasiswa theologi, para Gembala Jemaat, dan kaum awam yang terlibat dalam pelayanan gerejawi, karena akan memberi input yang tepat bagi wawasan bertheologi praktis, ...”
Pdt. Henoch Soetopo, D.R.E., D.Min.
Ketua Sekolah Tinggi Theologi Tabernakel, Lawang

“… Buku ini sangat menarik dan bermutu membawa kita supaya menempatkan firman Tuhan sebagai acuan “keberhasilan” dalam pandangan Allah, bukan Berpikir Positif.”
Yosafat Bangun, M.Th.
Dosen Luar Biasa bidang Agama Kristen dan Etika Kristen di Universitas Kristen Indonesia, Jakarta

The Search for Meaning

by:
Prof. Walter C. Kaiser, Jr., Ph.D. and

Prof. Moises Silva, Ph.D.

Publisher: Zondervan, Grand Rapids, U.S.A., 2007



In this book, Dr. Kaiser and Dr. Silva explains all about Biblical hermeneutics in four parts. In the first part, they explain the significance of hermeneutics, meaning, language, and Biblical theology. In the next part, they explain how to understand each genre in the Bible: narrative, poetry and wisdom, gospels, epistles, and prophecy. Two parts lead us into the third part that is the relationship between the meaning of the text and the application in our daily life. In this part, Dr. Kaiser explains the the use of the Bible in: devotional, cultural, and theological things. In the last part, they explain about history of biblical interpretation since Old Testament era until modern era and then challenges for Christians to interpret the Bible properly with grammatico-historical exegesis which emphasis on grammar of texts and historical context.
