Kristologien hos konvertitten Hamram Ambrie: Kristen synkretisme som utfordring til indonesisk Islam
The Christology of Hamram Amrbie "Christian Syncretism" as a challenge to Indonesian Islam In 1969 the former Indonesian Muslim and Muhammadiah "priest" Hamram Ambrie was baptised. Ambrie was a productive author and he describes his transition from Islam to Christianity in terms of continuity. Many of his pamphlets has been banned by the Indonesian government. Ambrie uses the Bible and the Al Koran as sources for his theology, leading him to a combination of modalism and dynamism. He concludes that God is one person, whereas Jesus is two persons, namely the Father and the human being Jesus. There are semi-monistic elements to this picture akin to Sufism and Javanese Mysticisme. The alleged identity between Islamic and Christian monotheism is criticised by Muslims, who, with considerable justification, argue that Ambries Christology is heretic and not representative of Christian theology. It seems justified to argue that Ambrie is mixing elements foreign to each other ending in syncretism rather than in contextualisation.
