Adaptasi Biblis, Alkitab, Film, Privatisasi Agama, Ruang Publik, Teologi PublikAbstrak
Di tengah kecenderungan privatisasi agama dalam masyarakat modern, tulisan ini berupaya menghadirkan Alkitab ke ruang publik melalui film sebagai upaya berteologi publik. Tulisan ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif-kualitatif dengan kajian kepustakaan. Penelitian dilakukan dalam upaya menelaah bagaimana film-film bertema biblis tidak hanya menyampaikan ulang kisah-kisah suci, tetapi juga memediasi pesan teologis ke dalam ranah publik dalam menanggapi isu sosial, politik, dan budaya populer. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa film mampu menjadi sarana analitis dan kritik terhadap struktur sosial dengan menjembatani antara iman personal dan keterlibatan publik. Konsep Alkitab sebagai kitab publik ditegaskan melalui keterlibatannya dalam diskursus moral dan keadilan melalui simbolisme visual film. Dengan demikian, film bukan hanya sebagi media visualisasi iman, tetapi juga ruang hermeneutis yang mendorong Gereja dan masyarakat untuk membaca kembali pesan Alkitab secara kontekstual. Tulisan ini menegaskan bahwa berteologi publik melalui film merupakan cara strategis untuk menjangkau publik serta memperluas partisipasi iman dalam ruang publik.
