Vol. 4 No. 1 (2025): Integritas Terbuka: Peace and Interfaith Studies

Integritas Terbuka: Peace and Interfaith Studies Vol. 4 No. 1 (2025) presents eight articles that explore the role of religion in promoting peace, resolving conflict, and shaping cultural identity in Indonesia. The articles include a sociological approach to the dual faces of religion—tolerance and intolerance—as well as an analysis of the symbolic meaning of Pope Francis’ apostolic journey to Indonesia in strengthening interfaith fraternity. The Sisingaan tradition in the Panganten Sunat ceremony is examined as a form of cultural transformation, while digital peace activism is represented by Ainun Jamilah’s efforts to challenge stigma against veiled women. Other studies address liberation theology in the work of Nahdlatul Ulama in Subang, interfaith paradigms in the post-reform era as strategies for conflict resolution, and the polemics and negotiations surrounding interfaith marriage in Indonesian films. The humanist Islamic thought of Ahmad Syafii Maarif is also highlighted as a foundation for national identity in the post-reform context.
This edition features eight articles written by 15 authors from various institutions in Indonesia, including Parahyangan Catholic University (Unpar), Diponegoro University, Gadjah Mada University (UGM), Universitas Terbuka, and UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung.
