This article is intended to achieve the goal of explaining the theological view of tangkean suru’ from the Calvinist perspective on love in the Rambu Solo’ tradition among the traditional Toraja community. The research method used is a qualitative research method with a descriptive method through interviews with several participants. Tangkean suru’ has the aim of expressing a sign of condolence as well as a sign of love for family or relatives who are experiencing grief and also a sign that they are part of a family experiencing grief which is expected to lighten the burden on families who are experiencing grief and is not something that must be returned. When the giver gets something like that. Tangkean suru’ is no longer seen as a from of love between people. Love in Calvin’s view, if understood correctly, means “God is love “and helps everyone to realize God’s love in life by loving others through actions. This article contributes by integrating the Calvinist perspective on love with the Toraja community’s cultural practices, particularly the Tangkean Suru’ ritual, offering a fresh theological approach to deepen faith and community bonds within the church.
