  • Bab Vii Perlunya Memahami Perbedaan Prosedur Epistemologi Teologi Setiap Agama
    BAB VII PERLUNYA MEMAHAMI PERBEDAAN PROSEDUR EPISTEMOLOGI TEOLOGI SETIAP AGAMA 7.1 Prosedur Epistemologi Hindu 7.1.1 Kritik Terhadap Epistemologi Teologi “Theologi” dalam pengertian umum yang dapat diterima oleh semua kalangan, adalah pengetahuan tentang Tuhan. Namun dalam pengertian yang lain (pengertian yang tersebung), teologi diasumsikan sebagai ilmu pengetahuan tentang Tuhan perspektif Kristen, perspektif gereja atau perspektif Injil. Oleh sebab itu setiap pembicaraan mengenai teologi mau tidak mau harus merujuk pemikiran gereja. Paradigma seperti itu memang diciptakan dan diupayakan serta dipopulerkan oleh gereja. Salah satu contoh; dalam penelitian teologi, pendekatan yang digunakan adalah hermeunitik, suatu pendekatan yang berasal dari pendekatan gereja atau Kristen. Contoh lain lagi, jika berbicara tentang konsep monoteisme, maka pembenarannya hanya dapat diterima jika Tuhan dipandang dalam perspektif “personal God” yang bertempat tinggal di langit atau “di sorga”. Dalam teologi Kristen, pada awalnya Tuhan dipandang tidak memiliki personifikasi, namun setelah Yesus dikemudian hari dianggap Mesias, maka konstruksi teologi monoteisme Kristen lalu berubah menjadi trinitas. Struktur teologi Kristen sesungguhnya sangat labil oleh sebab itu satu-satunya cara ia menggunakan strategi klaim dan apologi. Tentu apapun bentuk struktur teologi Kristen itu merupakan hak dan tanggung jawab dari para teolog Kristen. Namun para teolog juga seharusnya mengakui bahwa terdapat banyak kerancuan dan kekacauan konsep yang terdapat dalam teologi Kristen yang tidak dapat dipahami dengan akal. Hal itu akhirnya hanya dapat diterima sebagai dogma yang dicari-cari padanannya dalam logika bernalar. Walaupun penilaian ini merupakan pendapat yang datangnya dari luar kekristenan, namun penilaian ini juga adalah syah. Memang seharusnya konsep agama dan konsep pemahaman agama harus terus berkembang. Oleh sebab itu ke-Kristenan juga tidak boleh mencela terhadap perkembangan konsep ataupun pemahaman di luar gereja atau Kristen.

PEEFACE TT is with grateful acknowledgment that I dedicate this volume to my friend and colleague. Professor C. C. Uhlenbeck, Ph.D., who, as my guru at the University of Amsterdam, was the first to introduce me to a knowledge of the mysterious Naga world as revealed in the archaic prose of the Paushyaparvan. In the summer of the year 1901 a visit to the Kulu valley brought me face to face with people who still pay reverence to those very serpent-demons known from early Indian literature. In the course of my subsequent wanderings through the Western Himalayas, which in their remote valleys have preserved so many ancient beliefs and customs, I had ample opportunity for collecting information regarding the worship of the Nagas, as it survives up to the present day. Other nations have known or still practise this form of animal worship. But it would be difficult to quote another instance in which it takes such a prominent place in literature folk-lore, and art, as it does in India.
