The Holocaust tragedy from 1941-1945, which claimed the lives of 6 million Jews, has had profound impacts, including in the field of theology. One such impact is the “Death of God” theology as developed by Richard Lowell Rubenstein (1924-2021). As a Jewish rabbi, theologian, and critical writer, Rubenstein is known for his theological reflections on the Holocaust. Rubenstein grappled with questions about how a God who is all-good and all-powerful could allow such immense suffering and evil to occur in human life. Essentially, his theology does not reject the existence of God but rather rejects the traditional theistic concept that portrays God as the primary actor responsible for human history. According to him, such an understanding would confine and rob individuals of autonomy or freedom, and, more importantly, diminish the meaning of God. He aimed to encourage each individual to take responsibility for creating a just and humane world, unburdened by the shadows of traditional theistic perspectives that often blind people to common interests. In short, Rubenstein's developed theology seeks to guide individuals and modern societies towards maturity and faith maturity in the direction of ethical responsibility and constructive social concern for the public good. Rubenstein's critical reflection on the “Death of God” also becomes significant in the context of religious life in Indonesia, which often carries a 'religious intoxication' nuance with acts of violence carried out in the name of God, wrapped in sacred verses and religious symbols.
