  • Images of God in Toba Batak Storytelling
    PB Wacana Vol. 17 No. 2 (2016) Johann AngerlerWacana Vol., Images 17 No. of God 2 (2016): in Toba 303–335 Batak storytelling 303 Images of God in Toba Batak storytelling Johann Angerler Abstract This paper examines the ways in which God the Creator, the High God, is described in Toba Batak folk-tales. The sources for this investigation are stories recorded in pre-colonial (around 1850), colonial and post-colonial times (up to 2014). In different stories the High God can appear under various names, forms and gender, and resides in various places never inhabited by humans. Unlike a Deus otiosus, the Toba Batak High God is not “inactive” after creation, but continues to be involved in the life of mankind through local or supra-local manifestations. Although he rules the realm of death, he is nevertheless regarded as the source of life, fertility, health and prosperity. There are also stories about manifestations of God in which he shares the experience of suffering with human beings. The main Toba Batak community rituals in pre-colonial times were addressed to a manifestation of the High God. Keywords Toba Batak stories; oral tradition; ritual; High God; manifestations of God; history of religion. Introduction I would like to prelude my paper with two quotations. Both are from Toba Batak peasants, simple men not shamans or other Batak intellectuals. In September 1990 I had the opportunity to witness a ritual buffalo sacrifice in a village in Limbong, on the slopes of the holy mountain Pusuk Buhit, situated on the western shore of Lake Toba.

Although he points out that the Dutch missionaries felt a "colonial responsibility" towards the Dutch East Indies, he did little to explain this responsibility. For Kraemer, the relationship between colonialism and mission existed predominantly in activities the mission employed when settling the inland of islands other than Java; methods that were subsequently used by the colonial administration. He did not question portrayals of "primitivism" on the islands, defining the Toba Batak people as follows: 'The Toba Batak were a pure heathen, largely unaffected people, "primitive", but forceful, even of a wild nature, fragmented in different clans accompanied by all the wars between villages and insecurity this entailed.

Signed ………………………………………………. Date …………………………………………………. iv Abstract Interreligious disharmony between Christians and Muslims seems prevalent in the world. Indonesia, one of the democratic nations in the globe, offers no exception. In the last two decades, disharmonious encounters have been escalating in the country to a point where people commit violence towards adherents of other religions. Despite this phenomenon, few studies have addressed the issue. The literature suggests that the problems are related to three distinct areas: the history of the country, the method of evangelizing and socio-economic and political issues. The current study was conducted in the framework of the theory of multiculturalism – a contemporary social theory which has been developed by Amitai Etzioni and Bikhu Parekh – not only to address the issue of interreligious disharmony but also to promote interreligious encounters when a society is divided.
