ABSTRACT
Moluccan contextual theology is developed and taught at the theological university of Ambon, the Moluccas: UKIM (Universitas Kristen Indonesia Maluku). The theologians of UKIM teach students a contextual approach. The approach forms the starting point for the ambition to decolonize the GPM (Gereja Protestan Maluku – Moluccan Protestant Church). The author delineates the educational, organizational, historical, and political contexts of Moluccan contextual theology. UKIM has close relations with the GPM and the local government. Moluccan contextual theology is developed in national, global, modern, and political contexts. These contexts afford the operation of the contextual approach.
