Peran Teologi Naratif dalam Membentuk Spiritualitas Generasi Digital

Abstract

Today's digital generation is growing up in an environment filled with information flows dominated by digital media, which has a significant impact on the way they understand and experience spiritual values. In this context, secular narratives often dominate public space and popular culture, shifting the position of traditional stories from the Bible in their daily lives. This research examines the potential of narrative theology—an approach that utilizes stories to convey teachings of faith—in shaping and strengthening the spirituality of the digital generation. By integrating narrative elements relevant to today's digital world, narrative theology can offer an effective alternative for conveying spiritual values ​​and help this generation bridge the gap between religious traditions and the digital reality they face. This research aims to explore how this approach can be applied in religious education and spiritual practice, as well as evaluating its impact on the understanding and spiritual experience of the digital generation. The research method used is qualitative, with literature studies to analyze related theories as well as interviews with educators and theologians to gain insight into the application of narrative in a digital context.
