The Theological Dialectics of Amulets in Human Civilization: Contesting Religious Authority, Popular Spirituality, and Modernity

Abstract
Samsurizal’s "Amulets in Human Civilization" offers a critical examination of the theological dialectics surrounding amulets, positioning them at the intersection of dogmatic authority, popular spirituality, and modern rationality. The author contends that amulets are not merely artifacts of superstition but are pivotal loci of identity contestation that bridge the tension between religious purification doctrines and the human existential need for metaphysical protection. Utilizing an interdisciplinary framework, this study explores the theological negotiations that reframe amulets as spiritual intermediaries (wasilah), aligning physical objects with orthodox principles. The analysis demonstrates that despite rigorous critiques from religious puritanism and scientific secularism, amulets persist as a resilient form of faith-based agency. This phenomenon underscores that the theological debate over amulets is perennial, reflecting a fundamental human endeavor to navigate transcendental powers within an increasingly mechanistic world. As a cross-civilizational study, this work significantly contributes to the global discourse on the sociology of religion and cultural anthropology.
