HARAPAN PEMBEBASAN : REFLEKTIF TEOLOGI HITAM MENURUT YESAYA 35:1-10 TERHADAP ORANG BERKULIT HITAM DI INDONESIA

Abstract

Indonesia is known as a country rich in various races, ethnicities, cultures, religions and languages. Behind this wealth, there are problems that influence the author to raise this research, namely acts of racism experienced by black people in Indonesia. From the existing problems, the author is interested in examining more deeply the meaning of a hope for liberation for the people of Judah who were in the Babylonian Exile according to Isaiah 35:1-10 and how this is related to black theology as part of the theology of liberation against racism that occurred in black people in Indonesia. The author uses a qualitative research method using a historical-critical interpretation approach to see the condition of the people at that time and interpret this text. The result achieved by the author is that this theology will not only have an impact on the struggle against acts of racism that occur because of differences in skin color, but includes all aspects of differences that result in acts of racism and discrimination and injustice against other minority groups.
