Christian-Muslim Relations in Post-Reformation Indonesia: Resistance, Identity and Belonging

By Assistant Professor of Religion Hans A Harmakaputra

The post-Reformation era has witnessed a vastly changing landscape in Indonesian Islam, particularly with the emergence of conservative Muslim voices. This book explores several strategies of Christian resistance against the resurgence of conservative voices in Indonesian Islam to establish a coherent view of Christian responses and a greater understanding of Christian-Muslim relations after the Reformation in 1998. These different strategies demonstrate that, despite their status as a religious minority, Indonesian Christians are far from passive and submissive. Instead, they actively negotiate their identity and role in contemporary Indonesia's shifting political and social context to cultivate a sense of belonging.
