Abstract

The development of digital technology and the post-truth era have triggered faith deconstruction and growing skepticism toward biblical authority and church tradition among Generation Z.This study aims to analyze the deconstruction of faith as a manifestation of Generation Z's spiritual crisis through a contextual biblical approach in the digital age. A descriptive qualitative design utilizing a literature review approach was employed in this research. The findings indicate that faith deconstruction reflects a crisis of meaning in the post-truth era, while the digital realm is transforming into a new locus of spirituality that is increasingly personal, dialogical, and hybrid. Consequently, faith reconstruction via contextual hermeneutics serves as a strategic endeavor to reinterpret tradition in a relevant and transformative manner for Generation Z amidst radical cultural shifts
