158hlm; 14x21cm The book The Lord of Confusion is a reflective-theological work born in the post-Second Vatican Council context, when the Catholic Church experienced many changes, tensions, and internal debates. In this situation, the author attempts to address the difficult questions that arose regarding faith, Church authority, liturgy, Scripture, and the Church's relationship with the modern world. The title 'Lord of Confusion' is not intended to portray God as the source of chaos, but rather as a God who remains sovereign and present amidst human confusion. The author observes that times of change often bring uncertainty, but it is precisely there that faith is tested and refined. The book highlights several key ideas, including (a) confusion as part of the Church's renewal process, especially after the Second Vatican Council; (b) the importance of reflective and mature faith, not merely passive acceptance; (c) the tension between Church authority and theological freedom, which needs to be understood dialogically; (d) the role of liturgy and Scripture in shaping the faith life of the people amidst changing times; and (e) an invitation to see that God continues to work in history, even when the direction seems unclear. The author also emphasizes that Christian faith does not always provide instant or simple answers. Instead, faith often demands the courage to live with questions, while remaining confident that God is guiding the Church's journey. Overall, this book is a critical and constructive theological reflection, inviting readers to understand that confusion is not a sign of a failure of faith, but rather part of the dynamic spiritual growth and development of the Church in the modern world. spiritualitas meditasi 242.3 PERPUSTAKAAN STFT WIDYA SASANA Jln.
