ABSTRACT

Peace has been an issue related to faith in the Christian tradition as much as it has been an permanent issue for humanity. The reason why peace issue has been on the rise is because suffering inflicted by violence was transferred upon the weak, mostly due to power struggles. In relation to the issue of violence, nonviolent pacifism and realistic approach were traditionally proposed as alternatives in the Christian world view, The nonviolent pacifism, resisting with body the evil reality hiding behind the human conscience or human nature, appeals to the peace and love so that violence is no longer reproduced. This research examines the theoretical aspect of ‘Christian Realism’ in relation to the understanding of realism in general. Three aspects of the theory of Realism will be examined. Firstly, the concept of ‘Realism’ will be analyzed from the political ethics’ perspective. Secondly, ‘Christian Realism’ will also be analyzed and examined in line with Augustinian tradition. Thirdly, in the conclusion, Christian ethical alternative will be proposed. Thus, this research explores the meaning of Christian realism in terms of the issue of peace.
