A biblical response to Arwah Be Am Nai as mediator between humans and God in Hauteas tradition

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The combination of tradition and Christian belief in the Dawan community is inseparable, as the Christian Dawan people believe in ‘Usif Jesus’ as the ‘redeemer of sins’. At the same time, the Hauteas tradition still upholds belief in ‘Be Am Nai’ as a ‘mediator’, especially in matters related to the Creator [Uis Neno ma Uis Pah]. Contribution: This article explores the Hauteas tradition of the Dawan tribe from an anthropological perspective and integrates biblical studies to address the concept of ‘Arwah Be Am Nai’ as a mediator between humans and God, examining its relevance in the context of a diverse, heterogeneous society.
