Abstract
This article attempts to elaborate on theology that could be derived from the context of the Minahasa Christian community in Manado, particularly concerning the consumptive lifestyle. Manadonese, who predominately belong to the Minahasa ethnic group and are Christians (Protestants), has a reputation in Indonesia for leading very extravagant, consumptive lifestyles. By gathering observational data and researching relevant literature, the method is qualitative and takes a lived religion approach. By using the lived religion approach, data collection from observations is concentrated on daily life and what the community lives rather than institutional doctrine. The relevant grand theology as a broad starting point, which can later be refined specifically, is context-focused contextual theology or, to make it more comprehensive, multi-textual theology.
