Abstract

From the Industrial Revolution 1.0 to the subsequent Industrial Revolution and the Industrial Revolution 5.0, human civilization has undergone a fast transformation. In this situation, theology appears to be confronting the Era 5.0 worldwide challenge and has not yet benefited humanity globally. This article aims to answer the following questions: How far along is the never-ending discussion of theological terms? How can theology address the challenges facing the world in Era 5.0? What theological perspective does Era 5.0 have on human suffering in the context of the global challenge? The findings of the study are: (1) Etymologically, the term theology is rooted in theos and logos, but the characteristics of theology emphasize three understandings, namely: God as the main actor in His work, humans as a complement to God's work, and fellow human beings building each other up between spiritual needs. And physical necessity into eternity. (2) A sound theology can face the global challenge in Era 5.0. (3) The basis for facing the global challenge in Era 5.0 is Christ's faith in oneself. Living faith works heavenly things (eternity) towards “eternity of the soul”.
