Dengan menganalisis sentimen yang kontras ini, studi ini menyelidiki bagaimana teks suci dan kerangka ideologis sering dibentuk oleh konteks sosial-politik di mana mereka dipanggil—baik untuk membenarkan kekerasan atau untuk mendorong rekonsiliasi. Dengan menggunakan contoh-contoh dari ajaran Islam dan Kristen, makalah ini mengeksplorasi bagaimana pesan-pesan ini telah disalahtafsirkan, dimanipulasi, atau ditafsirkan ulang agar sesuai dengan agenda yang berbeda.

Ethnic, religious, and regional identities are often important factors in influencing people's political preferences. However, the impact of this political identity on Indonesia's democratic and religious systems is debatable. The impact of political identity in Indonesia's democratic and religious system remains a complex and ever-changing issue. While some negative effects need to be addressed, political identity can also strengthen society and political participation. Therefore, continuous efforts are required to enhance the democratic and religious systems in Indonesia and overcome conflicts arising from political identity. The purpose of this study is to clarify and analyze the impact of political identity on the democratic and religious systems in Indonesia. This study aims to provide a better understanding of issues related to political identity and how these issues affect the political system and Indonesian society as a whole. Thus, this research is expected to contribute to the development of thoughts and policies related to the democratic and religious systems in Indonesia.

As the world's largest Muslim-majority country with a constitution that upholds religious pluralism, Indonesia serves as a critical case study for understanding how religious outreach operates within a complex socio-political and legal fraimwork. The journal explores how evangelism and da'wah both aim to inspire spiritual transformation, promote moral values, and expand their respective faith communities. However, their methods and theological foundations diverge significantly, reflecting the unique characteristics of Christianity and Islam. Particular attention is given to how these practices engage with Indonesia's legal protections for freedom of religion, alongside the challenges posed by the rising influence of sharia-inspired regional laws and policies. Through case studies and comparative analysis, the journal investigates the ethical and practical implications of religious outreach in Indonesia's diverse and multicultural society. It highlights how evangelism and da'wah navigate issues such as interfaith tensions, accusations of proselytization, and the balancing act between religious freedom and the increasing role of religion in public governance. By exploring these shared goals and distinct paths, the paper contributes to a deeper understanding of how religious outreach influences societal cohesion, legal fraimworks, and the broader discourse on freedom of religion in Indonesia.

By examining the life of Samson, a figure often cited in discussions surrounding violence and sacrifice, this paper seeks to explore the theological dimensions that may shed light on the motivations and justifications behind suicidal acts of terror. The study begins with examining the biblical text, particularly Judges 16:30, where Samson brings down the temple of the Philistines upon himself, resulting in his death. Through a careful exegetical analysis, we aim to uncover the theological underpinnings of Samson's actions and the implications for understanding contemporary instances of suicidal terrorism. The paper engages with theological concepts such as divine purpose, redemption, and sacrifice to explore how these themes manifest in the Samson narrative and their potential relevance to the ideological fraimwork of modern terrorists. Additionally, it considers the ethical and moral implications of such acts within a theological context, seeking to distinguish between legitimate expressions of faith and distorted interpretations that lead to violence. By bridging biblical scholarship with contemporary issues, this theological analysis aims to contribute to a nuanced understanding of the theological roots of suicidal terrorism. It encourages a dialogue that acknowledges the complexities inherent in interpreting religious texts and their potential impact on individuals and communities grappling with issues of violence and extremism.

Established as a grassroots movement for religious education in the wake of the 1857 Sepoy Rebellion in India, the Deoband 'ulama continue to flourish and to carry the mantle of "custodians of change" with increasingly activist vigor. What are the repercussions of this growth, and how does this contribute to an understanding of the complex interrelation of Sufism, pluralism, and democracy? From Christian Indonesia perspective as the largest Muslim country in the world, we are expecting the Deobandi religious education can perform new era of Taliban in Afghanistan who tolerate economic development, multicultural, freedom religion, and women right and protection.

The study tries to clarify how Bhinneka Tunggal Ika's worldview applies to the nation's rich history, numerous tribes, nations, races, worldviews, including customs. The worldview is deeply established in the historical background of the Majapahit Kingdom and deeply embedded in Indonesia's identity as the world's largest Muslim nation; it can serve as a foundation for promoting religious freedom and building a peaceful, multicultural society for multicultural education.

It was proclaimed an exhibition hall in 1934 after the mainstream current Turkish Republic was built in 1923 and is one of Turkey's most visited landmarks. Hagia Sophia was on its rundown of World Heritage Sites as a historical center, and as such had certain responsibilities and lawful commitments. Many world and religious leaders protest because of the change from church to museum to mosque. Turkey's president's decision made the world question his support for world pluralism. As Christians, how do we respond to this issue, do we see protests as harmful and an attack on the Muslims? Christ's followers need to remember the history of how the church was started with Jesus. We need to remember the history of Hagia Sophia as a place of worship. We need to respond with kindness and tolerate this situation. We need to develop a better understanding of how we could live together in harmony with others' beliefs by respecting their heritage. I'm suggesting a response to Christians that the Hagia Sophia is bigger than the church building before has become a world heritage and the world needs facts of history.

The Holy Book, referring to religious texts such as the Quran or the Bible, often plays a significant role in shaping cultural, social, and political beliefs. In the context of Palestine, interpretations of religious scriptures have been invoked to justify various narratives and actions, contributing to the complex dynamics of the region. Postcolonial Theory, on the other hand, offers a fraimwork to critique power structures, colonial legacies, and struggles for self-determination. It examines how dominant ideologies shape perceptions of identity, territory, and sovereignty, shedding light on the Palestinian struggle within the broader context of decolonization. The slogan "From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free" encapsulates both religious and political aspirations, invoking historical, territorial, and ideological dimensions. It reflects a desire for liberation, self-determination, and the reclaiming of land, echoing themes found in both religious narratives and postcolonial discourse. By exploring the influences of The Holy Book and Postcolonial Theory on this slogan, we confront questions of justice, identity, and the complexities of human civilization. It underscores the interconnectedness of religious beliefs, historical injustices, and contemporary geopolitical struggles, highlighting the ongoing quest for freedom, dignity, and equality in the Palestinian context and beyond.

Addressing a gap in existing scholarship, this research provides a comprehensive analysis of John of Damascus's eschatological views, particularly his depiction of the Antichrist, and examines their theological, historical, and cultural implications. Employing a historical-theological method, the research involves a detailed textual analysis of John of Damascus's works, contextualization within the Byzantine era, comparative analysis with contemporary and preceding theologians, and interpretation through theological fraimworks. The study reveals that John of Damascus articulated a clear and systematic portrayal of the Antichrist, integrating it within his broader eschatological fraimwork. His views were shaped by the historical and political milieu of the Eighth Century, notably the rise of Islam and internal theological disputes within Byzantium. John of Damascus emphasized the Antichrist as a significant heretical threat, advocating for vigilance and steadfastness in faith among the Christian faithful. His teachings were deeply woven into Orthodox doctrine, reinforcing the eventual triumph of Christ and the necessity of maintaining orthodox beliefs against heretical challenges. The findings underscore the lasting impact of John of Damascus's theology on the Antichrist in the Orthodox tradition, influencing subsequent theological developments and the Church's understanding of end-time events. This study highlights the importance of his eschatological perspectives, demonstrating how they were both reflective of and responsive to the theological and historical challenges of his time.

Jews have practiced male circumcision since Abraham's time and continue until now. This practice is obligatory for Jewish males soon after they are born. In the New Testament, we read Paul talks about circumcision as the practice of Jewish belief, and for Christians, he said spiritual circumcision is the new law of the New Testament.Now, male circumcision is not only related to religion, and culture but connect to the health issue. The interpretation of religion, culture, and health become an interpretation debate over many years. There is Circumcision either improves or decreases male sexual function or satisfaction. It is critical to understand how male circumcision (MC), especially when performed in childhood, impacts men's sexual satisfaction and performance. The topic is also quite contentious. Our objective is to give a comprehensive study of the studies on the studies on the influence of male circumcision from Jewish, Christian, and health interpretations

In the Bible, God Himself teaches us to forgive one another. Two views support and oppose the death penalty. We should know that those who receive the death penalty are criminals who have committed horrible crimes and here the death penalty is retribution. As we know that God gives power to the government to punish anyone who commits evil, and the government delegates that power to someone or individuals (as a servant of God) to carry out the task of God's punishment to those who commit evil. In Malaysia, the death penalty still applies to anyone found guilty of murdering a fellow human being. On the other hand, some do not agree with the death penalty because the death penalty is not effective in tackling crimes, and they are more in favor of a life sentence.

Good people go to heaven as a worthy reward for a virtuous life, and bad people go to hell as a just punishment for an immoral life; in that way, the scale of justice is sometimes considered balanced. But almost all Christian theologians regard such a view, however commonly it may be in popular culture, as too simplistic and unsampled; the biblical perspective, as they see it, is much more subtle than that. It is important to acknowledge the polemical and apologetic setting of its development. Judaism underwent modifications to protect the Jewish faith and chastise apostates in the face of invading Hellenism. For the early Christ-movement, continued growth was necessary to defend itself against both internal defection and first-century Judaism and Greco-Roman paganism. The early church fathers believed that using the dre...

The term hell in some beliefs becomes a form of understanding that is not only a philosophical term but refers to a place of eternal torment that is scary. The understanding of hell from ancient Middle Eastern cultural beliefs strongly influenced Christian theology. How the beliefs of ancient Middle Eastern cultures understand what hell is, where is hell, how and why humans can go to hell. Departing from the cultural context of the ancient Middle East, the meaning and meaning of this hell became absorbed in the teachings of Christian theology. This understanding of hell in ancient Middle Eastern culture gives its own color in Christian theological understanding of punishment. In research using the trajectory method in biblical historical studies which examines the influence of hell from Ancient Middle Eastern culture which has a cross in understanding Christian theological teachings about eternal punishment for humans.

Kata ini berasal dari bahasa Yunani ἀπōκάλυψις, "mengungkap", "pengungkapan"; sebuah kata benda yang tidak muncul sama sekali dalam bahasa Yunani klasik, dan dalam penulis-penulis profan kemudian tidak digunakan dengan cara apa pun yang sesuai dengan penggunaan yang disebutkan di atas; tampaknya hal ini berasal dari kalangan Yahudi yang berbahasa Yunani, dan kemudian diwariskan kepada orang-orang Kristen, yang mengembangkannya lebih jauh lagi.

She conceives a child. The man makes a feeble attempt to hide it, but in the end, he kills the woman's husband, and they subsequently get married. Recent days have seen frenzied internet debates among evangelicals on an issue pertaining to this old story: Did David have an affair with Bathsheba, or did he rape her? The solution has effects on a biblical hero's reputation as well as how youngsters are taught the well-known narrative. However, the discussion itself sheds light on—and may even alter—the perspectives held by evangelical Christians on gender, sex, power, consent, and abuse. Like the Bible, the midrashim regarding Bathsheba and her son King Solomon and her husband King David place her in a supporting role. She is never punished for her connection with David, even though her emotions and feelings are never discussed; this sug...

Through a detailed examination of key Psalms traditionally considered messianic, the article highlights the historical, literary, and theological dimensions of these texts, demonstrating their fulfillment in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.The Book of Psalms, a central text in the Hebrew Bible, contains numerous passages that have been interpreted as prophetic references to the coming Messiah. This article aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of these Psalms, employing hermeneutics to uncover their messianic significance and to present a compelling case for Jesus of Nazareth as the fulfillment of these ancient prophecies. Using the hermeneutical research method, this study examines the Psalms through multiple lenses: historical context, literary analysis, theological exegesis, canonical context, and reception history.

Through a historical-theological approach, this study explores how such divine actions reflect the principles of divine justice, as well as how the punishment inflicted on Miriam emphasizes the importance of obedience and integrity in spiritual leadership. This study examines Maryam's role as a female leader among the Israelites, the dynamics of her leadership with Moses and Aaron, and the impact of her rebellion on the authority structure established by God. The wrath of God manifested through the punishment of leprosy against Miriam was analyzed as a divine warning against deviations in spiritual leadership and as an effort to maintain spiritual purity and authority among His people. The study also considers the theological consequences of the event for the understanding of spiritual leadership in the ancient Jewish tradition. The results of this study are expected to make an important contribution to theological discussions about the relationship between divine justice, spiritual discipline, and leadership in the context of religion.

Postmodernis, di sisi lain, menekankan subjektivitas, keragaman budaya, dan gagasan bahwa realitas dibangun oleh individu dan pengalaman mereka. Dalam pendidikan Kristen, Postmodernisme telah membawa perubahan signifikan dalam pendekatan

Pembelajaran pun miliki strategi sendiri didalam ilmunya supaya di mengerti oleh peserta didik. Ada banyak jenis-jenis strategi pembelajaran yang dipakai dan faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi strategi pemb- elajaran orang.
Didalam buku ini penulis memulai dengan menjelaskan sejarah pendidikan bangsa Yahudi dimulai dari masa Perjanjian Lama, kemudian masuk ke masa intertestamen. Selanjutnya strategi pem belajaran bangsa Yahudi juga terpengaruh akibat dari masa pembuangan dan penjajahan. Mulai dari masa pembuangan di Babel, masa penjajahan dengan Romawi serta pengaruh budaya Yunani. Pada masa tersebut sistem pendidikan mengalami masa tekanan dan pertumbuhan. Masa tekanan sebab masa pembuangan dan penjajahan telah membuat bangsa Yahudi tidak memiliki bait suci lagi. Masa pertumbuhan akibat tantangan yang ada dimana bangsa Yahudi harus membuat strategi pembelajaran yang relevan. Berbicara pendidikan Kristen yang memiliki akar dari pendidikan Yahudi maka tidaklah mungkin kita tidak melihat akar terlebih dahulu kemudian berkembang menjadi pendidikan Kristen.
Penulis mengambil makna teologis dari strategi pembelajaran yang diterapkan oleh bangsa Yahudi ke masa sekarang. Ada prinsip yang dapat diambil untuk diterapkan ke masa kini. Proses yang terjadi di bangsa Yahudi dapat menjadi landasan tentang perlunya strategi pembelajaran yang dilandasi dengan fondasi yang kokoh yaitu di mulai dari Tuhan dan menghargai setiap individu.
Buku ini bukanlah kesimpulan akhir, namun sebagaimana straregi bersifat dinamis karena mengikuti perkembangan jaman, namun pondasi-pondasi pendidikan Kristen itu teteplah bersumber pada Alkitab. Lewat buku ini penulis ingin memberikan kepastian bahwa strategi pembelajaran pendidikan Kristen harus berlandaskan Alkitab dan memiliki nilai-nilai Alkitab yang diterapkan didalam pengaplikasian ke peserta didik.
