REKONSTRUKSI KEPEMIMPINAN PETRUS: ANALISIS HERMENEUTIS DAN TEOLOGIS ATAS TRANSFORMASI DAN KONTEKSTUALITAS GEREJA PERDANA

Abstract

Peter stands as a central figure in early church leadership whose journey reflects a significant spiritual and theological transformation. This study reconstructs Peter’s leadership model through a hermeneutical–theological approach by examining key biblical texts and scholarly literature. Using exegetical and contextual analysis, the study finds that Peter’s transformation was not merely moral but a theological work of divine grace and the Holy Spirit, enabling him to bridge Jewish tradition with the universal mission of the Gospel. The findings affirm that authentic Christian leadership emerges from spiritual restoration, humility, and contextual sensitivity. This reconstruction offers relevant insights for developing transformative and contextual church leadership in the contemporary era
