Persahabatan: Sumbangsih Moralitas Tradisi Kristen bagi Moralitas Bangsa Indonesia

Untuk betul-betul menjadi terang, kekristenan perlu menggumulkan sumbangsihnya bagi moralitas bangsa. Menggunakan ide tradisi Alasdair MacIntyre dan teologi natural Alister McGrath, penulis menawarkan sebuah konstruksi teologi yang membuka kemungkinan ide moralitas Kristen diperhitungkan dalam pembicaraan moralitas bangsa. Penulis kemudian menawarkan konsep persahabatan dalam kekristenan sebagai contoh nyata sumbangsih kekristenan bagi moralitas bangsa. Kata-kata Kunci: Alasdair MacIntyre, Alister McGrath, Aristoteles, Etika, Persahabatan, Teologi Publik, Thomas Aquinas English: Christians in Indonesia are often depicted as free riders who don’t contribute much to Indonesian’s independence and life as nation. This is a false claim. However, Christianity does need to offer a greater contribution, especially in the area of moral thought of Indonesia which is dominated by Islamic theology and secular ideas. Using the framework of Alasdair MacIntyre and Alister McGrath, this article constructs a theological and philosophical basis for Christianity’s contribution for the nation’s morality discussions. In the later part of this article, a Christian conception of friendship will be offered as an example of a Christian contribution. Keywords: Alasdair MacIntyre, Alister McGrath, Aristotle, Ethic, Friendship, Public Theology, Thomas Aquinas
