For most Indonesian citizens, Muslims and Christians alike, religion plays an important role in private and public life. Against the backdrop of tacit and overt conflicts between religious groups in Indonesia, this study examines the potential role of religion in building trust between people. To what extent does religion induce or reduce trust between Muslims and Christians? While religious communities are important socialising agencies for moral principles that may encourage trust, religious identification may also be related to distrust towards others; making 'trust' a problematic issue in the context of interreligious relations. This dissertation describes how trust is determined by religion (in both positive and negative ways), and how it can be seen as a crucial concept within the religious meaning system.

Catholics in Independent Indonesia: 1945-2010 concludes Steenbrink’s three volume historical account of Catholicism in Indonesia with a detailed report of the survival and growth of this minority religion in Muslim Indonesia since its independence in 1945. Colonial Catholicism survived in the independent Republic of Indonesia during the nationalist Sukarno regime (1945-1965) and regained a new dynamic during the general religious revival that was part of the New Order of Soeharto after 1965. From a Dutch-inspired institution it became a fully Indonesian steered community with a modern and international character. The second half of the book will deal with the different regional developments in this vast country.
Indonesia is the home of the largest single Muslim community of the world. Its Christian community, about 10% of the population, has until now received no overall description in English. Through cooperation of 26 Indonesian and European scholars, Protestants and Catholics, a broad and balanced picture is given of its 24 million Christians. This book sketches the growth of Christianity during the Portuguese period (1511-1605), it presents a fair account of developments under the Dutch colonial administration (1605-1942) and is more elaborate for the period of the Indonesian Republic (since 1945). It emphasizes the regional differences in this huge country, because most Christians live outside the main island of Java. Muslim-Christian relations, as well as the tensions between foreign missionaries and local theology, receive special attention.

Dialog between Islam and Christians in Indonesia and terminology in Islam and Christianity.
Untuk itu, melalui buku ini, penulis melihat dinamika Islam dalam perspektif lain sebagai terobosan bagi terwujudnya nilai-nilai kemanusiaan tanpa mengabaikan persoalan lain yang dihadapi umat Islam saat ini, seperti isu aliran sesat, problem kerukunan umat beragama, intoleransi, anarkisme, dan problematika sosial lainnya sebagai tantangan yang harus segera dicari solusinya. Buku ini berisi gagasan pemikiran penulis atas problematika yang dihadapi umat Islam dewasa ini. Meskipun, seperti diakuinya, informasi yang disampaikan tidak bersifat final.
Die im frühen 20. Jahrhundert in Indonesien begründeten Organisationen Muhammadiyya und Nahdlatul Ulama zählen mit jeweils ca. 35 Millionen Anhängern zu den größten muslimischen Organisationen der Gegenwart. Dyah Ayu Krismawati stellt namhafte Reformdenker/innen beider Organisationen unter der Frage vor, welche Begründungsmuster zu den Themen Religionsfreiheit und Religionswechsel von diesen entwickelt werden. Der Blick auch auf deren diskursive Gegner lässt erkennen, dass diese Fragen weiterhin hoch umstritten und von hoher Relevanz für die gegenwärtige Gesellschaft Indonesien sind.
Sebagai seorang Muslim, kita akan dihantarkan kepada sebuah ayat dalam surah al-Maidah yang menyatakan, “Dan sesungguhnya kamu dapati yang paling dekat persaha-batannya dengan orang-orang yang beriman ialah orang-orang yang berkata: ‘Sesungguhnya kami ini orang Nasrani.’ Yang demikian itu disebabkan karena di antara mereka itu (orang-orang Nasrani) terdapat pendeta-pendeta dan rahib-rahib, (juga) karena sesungguhnya mereka tidak menyom-bongkan diri.” (QS. 5:82) Ayat ini mengingatkan kita bahwa agama yang paling dekat dan paling sering “bersinggungan” dengan kita, sebagai Muslim, adalah agama Kristen (Nasrani). Keakraban dan persinggungan ini tidak hanya terjadi dalam tataran normatif—melalui perdebatan dan pergulatan pemikiran, tetapi juga dalam ranah historis—melalui interaksi dan interrelasi sosio-kultural. Oleh karena itu, upaya mempelajari, mengenal dan memahami ajaran agama Krsiten menjadi sebuah kenis-cayaan. Bagi umat Muslim, hal ini semestinya dilakukan bukan hanya untuk membangun dan memperkuat sendi-sendi dialog antaragama, melainkan juga untuk menata jalan ke arah internalisasi (dan kristalisasi) ajaran-ajaran Islam.
