The editorial team welcomes research articles from scholars, researchers, and practitioners in the field of Christian education. All submitted manuscripts undergo a rigorous <strong>double-blind review process</strong> conducted by qualified reviewers.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">This journal provides <strong>open access</strong> to all of its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.

Advice is understood as a good teaching or lesson. The reason is that the concept of <em>peada'</em> boils down to character education, which is the core of parental education for children or the younger generation in general in the life of the Toraja people. Authentic evidence in Toraja society is <em>londe</em> (rhymes) in various types, including types of advice rhymes used in educating the younger generation in everyday life.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">In the context of Christianity, the Book of Proverbs is translated as <em>Sarambu Peada'</em>.<em> Sarambu Peada'</em> which is aimed especially at young people, teaches that true wisdom cannot be obtained outside of God. Wisdom helps to distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong, divine perspective or human perspective (cf. Proverbs 1:2-7). <em>Sarambu Peada'</em> contains things that are easy to do without a time limit. Either connotatively or denotatively, the meaning of <em>peada'</em> always leads to wisdom (<em>kakinaan</em>).</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Jesus, who is the Great Teacher, besides teaching knowledge to fill the hearts and minds of the disciples, also using his life as the fruit of His teaching to strengthen and firm the believers. Therefore, the true <em>peada'</em> is only found in Christ. It is in this context that the <strong><em>Peada'</em> </strong>Journal exists to accommodate articles and research from Christian scholars, thereby becoming a source of knowledge that can be taught or learned, and ultimately generating wisdom in managing a life that glorifies God.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span dir="ltr" style="left: 180.8px; top: 424.828px; font-size: 17px; font-family: sans-serif; transform: scaleX(0.894606);" role="presentation"><strong><a href="https://sinta.kemdikbud.go.id/journals/profile/10513" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://peada.iakn-toraja.ac.id/public/site/images/admin/sinta-4.png" alt="" width="151" height="55" /></a><img src="https://peada.iakn-toraja.ac.id/public/site/images/admin/oa.png" alt="" width="155" height="55" /></strong></span></p> https://peada.iakn-toraja.ac.id/index.php/ojsdatapeada/article/view/231 2025-11-30T11:56:07+00:00 Roedy Silitonga roedy.silitonga@uph.edu Andrea Ratu Elizabeth roedy.silitonga@uph.edu Neli Blandina Yarona roedy.silitonga@uph.edu

<p>The teaching of scientific theories of origins, such as the Big Bang and evolution, in primary education often creates epistemological tension with biblical teaching, particularly within Christian school contexts. In Indonesia, this tension is frequently addressed without a clear pedagogical framework that integrates faith and learning coherently. This study aims to develop a biblical–pedagogical framework for integrating the doctrine of creation (creatio ex nihilo) within Christian Religious Education (CRE) for primary students. Employing a qualitative research design through literature analysis and classroom-based case studies in Indonesian Christian primary schools, this study examines how the doctrine of creation can be taught as divine revelation rather than as a competing scientific explanation. The findings indicate that when creation is presented theologically as an act of God’s sovereign will, students engage scientific knowledge critically while maintaining biblical authority as the foundation of learning. This study proposes a biblical–pedagogical framework that positions Christian teachers as facilitators, reconcilers, and transformers in guiding students toward an integrated understanding of faith and knowledge. The framework contributes to Christian education by offering a coherent model for faith–learning integration that supports intellectual formation and spiritual growth among primary students in Indonesia.</p>
