IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CHURCH’S LANGUAGE OF LOVE A Theological Strategy for National Character and Moral Education

Sinopsis

This book is a theological, academic, and practical response to the reality of the character and moral crisis facing modern society, particularly amidst the increasingly complex currents of globalization and digitalization. Phenomena such as ethical degradation, declining social empathy, and increasing identity-based conflicts demonstrate that national development requires not only intellectual intelligence but also a strong and sustainable foundation of character. In this context, the church has a strategic role as an agent of character education that is not only oriented towards cognitive aspects but also touches on the affective and spiritual dimensions of humankind. The concept of love language, as popularized by Gary Chapman, provides a relevant framework for understanding how love can be implemented concretely in human relationships. This book seeks to integrate this concept with a foundation in Christian theology, resulting in a holistic, contextual, and transformative approach to character education.
