This nation has a good diversity of cultural , ethnic , linguistic, religious , race and a lot of difference because this country is a country with various diversity. These conditions have an influence , opposition and separate impact of religious life , specifically our is a Protestant Christian religion . The challenge is how a of leadership that can lead toward adherents adherent - lover peace and unification . This is an expectation that will inevitably embodied concretely in the life of our nation's diversity . Plurality also provides a special challenge to us in order to understand and explain the Bible as the Word of God to the "they " ( the church ) as the object of the publication and implementation.Way Interpretation to understand the content " of God Commandment "is not something Easy . Because the interpretation of the Bible in the context of plurality in Indonesia asks us as readers to remain loyal and commitment to what is in the biblical text , while openly to understand what is all around us as reality life .
We as readers of the text that has a situation , understanding and different concerns about what is all around us respectively . Indonesian nation that has many islands , tribes and language , culture and religion are also differences in economy, education , technology etc. , requires us as readers of the biblical text to work extra in order to unite those differences. With because they pluralism, there is always a question of " whether behind all the difference It is missing a togetherness in the nation and the situation in addressing the problems that exist in the midst of plurality these ? Problem of economic inequality is growing rapidly where around us there is unemployment , poverty, increasingly so there is a reality where there are more rich people but there are also people who More difficult / poor ( living in the inability of the economy).
There is also the problem of tribalism that brings the people in the attitudes exclusivism , where this attitude is directed primarily at the lawyer 's self is so closed to everything that exists around it. And also there is a problem ekskulivisme religious pluralism , where the endangerment expectations and goals within tolerance because there is mutual suspicion between one another . these situations for us people who are always proclaiming the Word God is a work that is not easy or simple . " Understanding the Bible for local readers in the present time Is not easy " .
Understand and interpret the Bible in a plurality culture is not an easy job . Situation of Indonesian society which has a plurality is required by the seriousness of attitude interpreters , interpreters in addressing and highlighting this reality so the Bible can be preached accurately and correctly in terms of contextualization . Readers who can not be inside the commentators This plurality ignore .... but he should be able to highlight and This brings the Word of God and that plurality . If this omitted, then the fear will go further , or even more sharply differences in a plural country / this compound .
