Current Issue

Vol. 9 No. 1: June 2026

This issue of Diegesis: Jurnal Teologi Kharismatika Volume 9 Number 1 (June 2026) brings together thirteen articles spanning exegetical-biblical studies and Pentecostal-Charismatic systematic theology to contextual theology rooted in local traditions such as Batak Toba, Maybrat, and Timor. Several articles also present public theology engaging concrete contemporary issues, ranging from environmental degradation and socio-political inequality to the world of work and questions of intergenerational justice. Through this diversity of themes and approaches, the editorial board hopes this edition will enrich contextual Christian theological discourse while remaining relevant to the struggles of church and society today.
