This study explores the concept of theophany in Psalm 18:8-16 as a theological framework for critiquing and responding to the systemic corruption crisis in Indonesia. Employing a socio-rhetorical approach that integrates inner texture analysis, ideological criticism, and empirical data on corruption from 2014-2025, this research explores how theophany narratives can inspire moral resistance against corrupt practices. Findings suggest that theophany, as a manifestation of divine power, offers a robust theological basis for systemic reform, prophetic critique of elites, and affirmation of justice that transcends human law. This research introduces the concept of "prophetic theophany" as a contextual reinterpretation of ancient texts, opening possibilities for systemic renewal through strengthened public participation and an ethical framework based on transcendent values. This innovative socio-rhetorical triangulation model provides a new paradigm for examining religious texts and their relevance to contemporary socio-political contexts, especially in responding to complex corruption challenges.
Penelitian ini menggali konsep teofani dalam Mazmur 18:8-16 sebagai kerangka teologis untuk mengkritisi dan merespons krisis korupsi sistemik di Indonesia. Melalui pendekatan sosio-retoris yang menggabungkan analisis inner texture, kritik ideologis, dan data empiris korupsi periode 2014-2025, penelitian ini mengeksplorasi bagaimana narasi teofani dapat menginspirasi perlawanan moral terhadap praktik koruptif. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa teofani, sebagai manifestasi kuasa ilahi, menawarkan landasan teologis yang kuat untuk reformasi sistem, kritik profetis terhadap elit, dan penegasan keadilan yang melampaui hukum manusia. Penelitian ini memperkenalkan konsep "teofani profetik" sebagai reinterpretasi kontekstual teks kuno, membuka kemungkinan pembaruan sistem melalui penguatan partisipasi publik dan kerangka etis berbasis nilai-nilai transenden. Model triangulasi sosio-retoris yang inovatif ini memberikan paradigma baru dalam mengkaji teks religius dan relevansinya bagi konteks sosial-politik kontemporer, khususnya dalam merespons tantangan korupsi yang kompleks.
