Background: The dynamics of Islamic boarding schools are fascinating to study. Their initial history as a place for teaching the Al-Qur’an evolved into a place for producing Ulama (cleric or Islamic scholar). Society’s paradigm will influence their motivation toward Indonesian religious education.

Purpose: This research aims to analyze typologies, educational paradigms, and constellations of Islamic boarding school educational paradigms.

Methods: This research uses a qualitative approach. The research steps were to collect data obtained from in-depth interviews, observation notes, activity photos, documents, curriculum data, and teacher and student data at the Al Khudlary, KHAS Kempek, and Husnul Khotimah of Islamic Boarding Schools.

Results: The research results are as follows: First, the Al Khudlary Islamic Boarding School is of the traditional type because it maintains a yellow book education system that wants to be separate from general education. Holistic education forms a Tafaqquhn Fiddin (deepening knowledge of religion) human being. The paradigm constellation analysis is characterized by conservativeness with indicators of traditional, feudal, and preserved heritage. Second, the KHAS Kempek Islamic Boarding School is of the integration type, namely integrating the study of the Kitab Kuning (yellow book: the traditional set of the Islamic texts) with general education. Holistic education forms human beings who are Tafaqquhn Fiddin and experts in the field of science. The paradigm constellation analysis is characterized by conservative-liberal with traditional indicators, a person’s right to education, the right of institutions to develop education and social and innovative rights. Third, the Husnul Khotimah Islamic Boarding School is of the Modern type. Holistic education shapes people to have the character of Islamic values and prepares them to face the international world. Liberal-critical characterizes the paradigm constellation analysis with innovative, dynamic, and responsive indicators to community needs.

Conclusion: Through this research, Islamic boarding schools can be differentiated according to their classification, making it easier for people to refer to this theory when choosing an Islamic boarding school so that they have a comprehensive paradigm.

It is quite challenging that human beings are sensitive to minor things, and this sensitivity to minor things is surely evidence of a strange disorder of humanity and their great confusion. This involves a situation of one becoming as sensitive as to despise matters of importance that makes one to be so absurd because of the situation. It is the conviction grouped in the good news that “God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself” that makes salvation immensely more than a theory, a traditional belief or a slogan. It brings into focus as a necessity to understand. In spite of the fact that we are all unique persons, we share common beliefs, values and ways of life with many others around us. We not only share those beliefs but also reinforce them in one another and teach them to our children. The shared aspects of our personal cultures produce the common value, priorities and standards of behavior that we apply in each context. We begin to learn these things as helpless infants, and by the time we are adults, they shape much of what we are and do. It is also amusing to the author that many concepts currently labeled “Innovative” or “contemporary” are not new ideas at all. Everything seems new if one is ignorant of history. Many methods parading under the banner of “change” have been used in the past in a slightly altered form. Some of them have worked and some of them haven’t. It’s a well-known truth that if we are ignorant of the lessons of the past mistakes, we usually end up making the same mistakes made by the people before us. It is until the mental map of people are transformed is when true transition in the society can be accomplished. This is why the study aimed at investigating the present situation of salvation as understood by the Pentecostal Assemblies of God Church(PAG) in Vihiga County , Kenya, and the impact of culture on it.
