		abstract={This thesis is a study of a doctrinal problem in the
Toraja Church referring to its theology of death which has
been formulated firmly in the book of the Confession of the
Toraja Church. The doctrinal problem is that according to
the Confession of the Toraja Church, death means 'the total
death of nian1, a statement which was originally accepted but
which later came to be disputed. For the sake of the Toraja
Church*s integrity, we need to find some kind of Lheological
s o1u t i on-
To understand the Toraja Church, it should be
kept in mind that the Toraja Church is one of the Christian
Reformed Churches of Indonesia. It developed as a result of
GZB?s mission (Gereformeerde Zendingsbond, a Dutch mission
institute from the Herformde Kerk), which could be
identified as the linking up of classical Calvinism, Pietism
and ethical missiology. The first part of this thesis tries
to review the philosophical effects in the nature of the
problem, especially regarding Western philosophical thought.
The second part of this thesis researches what the Bible
means by man and death by using a narrative approach.
The final section of this thesis emphasizes that the
true Christian theology of death should be formulated firmly
in our own book of confession. To disregard it means to
allow philosophy to conguer over theology.}
