ADAT DAN IMAN KRISTEN DI TANAH BATAK
Keywords:
Indonesia, North Sumatra, Batak, Adat, religion, missionary, inculturation, interculturation.Abstract
This article is intended to show the development of and the mutual interaction between the adat (their local, "ancestral" customs) and Christian religion in Batak society (North Sumatra). The author wants to show that in the first period of the mission, the goal was quantity in numbers and area. So the strategy was 'laufen und taufen'. Part of this strategy means that they took certain elements of local culture to christianity, inculturation. But in the second period the missionaries changed their method from quantity to quality. This means that relation between adat and Christian religion changed into interculturation. In this process dialogue is essential, 'sitzen und zu hören'.References
