Interfaith marriage is a sensitive and crucial issue for churches in Indonesia and for the religiously plural Indonesian society. This study first deals with the development of civil law, specifically from Marriage Law No. 1/1974. The stances of the churches in Indonesia are wide ranging and include the history of church teaching, biblical interpretation, and church regulations. This contextual church polity study presents a new effort to formulate both a theology of marriage and a family theology, specifically a theology of interfaith marriage, and to formulate a relevant and contextual church order.
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.

Buku karya Made Gunaraksawati Mastra–ten Veen ini merupakan hasil penelitian yang mengungkap bagaimana Gereja Bali telah membuka dan mengelola unit-unit bisnis tanpa menjadi lembaga bisnis pada dirinya. Semua ini dapat terlaksana berkat teologi ekonomi yang kontekstual dan matang. Semoga karya tulis ini dapat memberi inspirasi bagi gereja-gereja bukan hanya dalam penggalangan dana inkonvensional, tetapi juga dalam mengembangkan teologi yang konstruktif bagi ekonomi Indonesia.
