This study aims to examine the theological concept of Imago Dei (Image of God) and its implications for the lives of believers. The formulation of the problem includes three aspects: general understanding of Imago Dei, theological review of the concept, and its application in the context of contemporary Christianity. Using qualitative methods and descriptive analysis approaches, data were collected through a literature study of relevant theological sources. The results of the study indicate that humans, as creatures created in the image and likeness of God, have intrinsic value, dignity, and responsibility as representations of God in the world. Although this image has been damaged by sin, through the redemptive work of Christ as the perfect Imago Dei, the image can be restored. This restoration occurs gradually through the process of justification, sanctification, and glorification, which leads believers towards Christlikeness. This study emphasizes the importance of a theological understanding of Imago Dei as the basis for ethics, spirituality, and identity of Christians in a complex and pluralistic world.

As a democratic legal state, Indonesia is obligated to guarantee press freedom as an information source for the community and as a social watchdog. The ITE Law, a response to technological developments, affects the existence of press media, which now present information digitally. This research focuses on two main issues: First, it examines the implications of the ITE Law on press freedom using Lawrence M. Friedman's theory. Second, it explores how to ideally guarantee press freedom through the legal protection of journalists. This study aims to examine the extent to which the ITE Law restricts press freedom. This study employs a normative juridical approach with a literature review and case analysis of the criminalization of journalists in Indonesia. The results show that the ITE Law creates legal ambiguity, thus triggering the abuse of vague articles, particularly Article 26, paragraph 3, which contradicts press freedom as protected by the 1945 Constitution. The study concludes that there is a need for a fundamental revision of the ITE Law to create a balance between individual rights and public interests. Alternative solutions include synchronizing the law with the press law and strengthening the role of the Press Council.

The use of social media as a means of the press has various legal implications amidst the rapid development of information technology. Social media makes it easy to disseminate information quickly and widely, but on the other hand, the absence of clear regulations in categorizing it as part of the formal press raises legal problems, especially related to responsibility for content, protection of individual rights, and freedom of expression. This study aims to examine the position of social media in the legal framework of the press in Indonesia, and to analyze its legal consequences for users who act as conveyors of public information. Using the normative juridical method, it was found that social media has not received explicit recognition as a press entity in the Press Law, thus creating legal loopholes in terms of accountability and legal protection. Regulatory updates are needed to ensure legal certainty and maintain a balance between freedom of expression and legal responsibility in the digital era.

The phenomenon of buying and selling photocards is growing among music fans, with X social media widely chosen as a platform for buying and selling due to its ease of access and wide reach. However, this practice often raises legal issues, especially regarding the occurrence of fraud by the seller through the provision of false evidence of goods or the sale of non-original goods. This study aims to analyze the legal implications of photocard sale and purchase agreements that contain elements of fraud. This study uses a normative legal research method with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. Based on the results of the research, it is known that the agreement containing elements of fraud does not fulfill the subjective aspects in the validity of the agreement as stipulated in the Civil Code (KUHPerdata), thus causing a defect of will. As a result, the agreement can be canceled through the mechanism of requesting cancellation in court.

The prohibition of committing injustice (zulm) is a fundamental principle in Islamic teachings that emphasizes justice as the foundation of social life. In various hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), injustice is strongly condemned as a violation of both divine rights and human rights. This article aims to discuss in depth the prohibition of zulm and explore its deeper implications in both criminal and civil law. Injustice is not only seen as an individual sin, but also as a breach of social justice and public order. Therefore, the command to avoid zulm, as conveyed in hadiths, goes beyond theological and moral dimensions, extending into concrete and applicable legal principles. Through a normative and juridical approach, this study seeks to demonstrate that the prohibition of injustice can serve as a foundation for developing a fair legal system that upholds individual rights. In the context of criminal law, acts of injustice often manifest as crimes requiring firm punishment to maintain social order. Meanwhile, in civil law, injustice appears in forms such as unlawful acts, breaches of contract, or violations of property rights, which demand compensation or restitution. This reflects the importance of integrating Islamic values in building a civilized and justice-oriented legal system.

This article explores a critical perspective on epistemology that has long been influenced by Western-centric biases, aiming to uncover its inherent discriminatory aspects. Employing a literature-based approach, the discussion centers on two primary concerns. First, the exclusionary nature of Western epistemology is inseparable from the ideals of modernity, which emphasize progress and innovation. These characteristics often marginalize alternative knowledge systems rooted in traditional or indigenous communities. Second, the discourse of development operates as a mechanism to perpetuate Western epistemological dominance, serving as a justification to reassert control over nations in the Global South or former colonies. The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of fostering a critical mindset among scholars, encouraging openness to diverse epistemological frameworks that reflect local contexts, without entirely dismissing the scientific traditions of the West.

Bankruptcy as a debt settlement mechanism in Indonesia has a significant impact on all debtors' assets, including intellectual property rights such as trademarks. In practice, many companies have licensed trademarks to third parties before being declared bankrupt, resulting in legal uncertainty regarding the validity of the license agreement and protection for the licensee. This study aims to examine the implications of bankruptcy on the validity of trademark licenses and analyze the legal position of licensees according to the Bankruptcy Law. The research method used is normative juridical with statutory and conceptual approaches, as well as qualitative analysis of primary and secondary legal materials. The results show that the rights to the licensed trademark remain part of the bankruptcy estate and are under the management of the curator. The license agreement can be continued if it benefits the bankruptcy estate, but can be terminated by the curator if it is considered burdensome. The legal position of the licensee is highly dependent on the recording of the agreement at the DJKI and the policy of the curator. The implications of this research emphasize the need for clearer regulations to provide legal certainty and balanced protection for all parties involved in bankruptcy.
