Christian-Muslim Relations in Post-Reformation Indonesia
Resistance, Identity, and Belonging
Book •
Hans A. Harmakaputra's book examines Christian responses to the rise of conservative and Islamist-influenced voices in Indonesia following the 1998 Reformasi.
Drawing on field research, interviews, and case studies such as the Ahok blasphemy trial, Yasmin Church closing, and post-conflict Maluku, the work highlights diverse forms of Christian resistance—from legal action and public worship to interfaith peacebuilding.
It situates these responses within broader political changes, including decentralization and regional sharia regulations, showing how minority Christians assert identity and belonging.
The book contributes to world Christianity and interreligious studies by centering minority perspectives and nonviolent modes of resistance in plural societies.
