This chapter demonstrates that the Sabbath was conceived to be the paradigmatic state of sacred time; it was understood to be a fundamental pillar of the religious life. It focuses on three prominent representations of hasidic thought—R. Ẓadoq ha-Kohen of Lublin (1823–1900), R. Yehudah Aryeh Leib of Ger (1847–1905), and R. Shalom Noaḥ Barzofsky (1911–2000). Through the Sefat ʾEmet, it shows a conception of Shabbat as a temporal dimension that inherently facilitates human access to the sacred; a realm in time that is timeless, that transcends all earthly time and space. Finally, in S. N. Barzofsky’s Netivot Shalom, Shabbat is presented as the means by which the Jew is liberated from the harsh realities of physical life; the holy day is the conduit for the climactic state of devequt between human being and Divinity.

As Christians, it is our duty to tell the world the truth. The truth is not totally an abstract concept. By the existence of Jesus in time and space, we are able to know God himself empirically according to our sensibilities as human being. In short, proclaiming Jesus’ life is proclaiming the truth itself. Nowadays, this duty requires more effort in order to spread the spirituality of Jesus to more people. Progressive development in many ways and stuff bring more obstacles than before. Those who involve themselves in ecclesiastical services should improve their skills due to many challenges among plethora misleading teaching and misconception about what the truth is. In this case, church takes important part in educating and formatting certain people – they could be either priests, religious men or women, or lay people – through its ecclesiastical studies. As for progress, there are at least four fundamental elements we should to care about in order to build better and updated ecclesiastical education.

In the course of supporting his larger thesis about mysticism, Steven Katz argues that, ‘Every religious community and every mystical movement within each community has a “model” or “models” of the ideal practitioner of the religious life.' Among thirteen functions of such models he mentions three that partially overlap. He says that (i) these model lives set standards of perfection to measure believers' actions, (ii) they are perfect examples of what it is to be a human being, and (iii) they are moral paradigms. Katz mentions various saints, sages, and other exemplary figures, and sums up with the claim that in the Christian tradition the function of ‘ models’ is expressed in Thomas à Kempis' The Imitation of Christ. Taking all of this together, one could conclude that he intends to say that every religious tradition contains accounts of morally perfect persons who are examples to be imitated.

<em><span lang="IN">Harmony in religious life is an important phenomenon to note. Considering that several different religions have developed in Indonesia, it is necessary to apply the teachings of harmony theology. Community life under religious pluralism is not always harmonious. In daily life, several cases of disharmony of religious communities often occur. This disharmony occurs because of the lack of tolerance between religious people with one another. To bring back the attitude of tolerance, one needs to explore religious teachings. Thus, there is no longer a nerrow mind against Hindus. The theology of harmony in the Hindu perspective in this case seeks to provide teachings about the unity of mankind. </span><span lang="EN">In the Hindu perspective of harmony theology, every human being should respect his fellow human beings because they come from the same source, namely God. Harmony is a religious obligation and obedience to God, it is also a cultural guideline and customs. The synergy between the two has always greatly influenced people's perspectives and attitudes regarding various matters, including efforts to create a harmonious life in the midst of plurality.</span><span lang="EN"> </span></em>

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of ontological incompleteness of a human being in connection with the possibility of spiritual help from religious traditions. The author shows how the unified ontological substitution of spiritual existence with virtual reality is carried out in the global world. The article investigates the potential of interreligious dialogue in search for new forms of contact with the universal anthropological risks of virtualization, individualization and alienation of man from his spiritual needs. The experience of religious interaction, features of intra-religious life of communities and modern attitude of churches to each other and to people are analyzed on the basis of Religious Studies fieldwork in Russia, in the countries of Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

The cycle of human travel on earth begins with birth, life and death. This cycle is conditional with the values ​​of local wisdom when viewed from the perspective of local customs and culture. In Gorontalo society the birth cycle continues with the custom of Molobunga Yiliyala (the burial of the placenta). Where the placenta is respected and glorified by traditional burial. This is inseparable from the belief of the Gorontalo tribe that the placenta is a twin of a baby who has noble functions and duties. Its function is to keep the baby out of the world and his job is to remind his twin during life to remember his vow with the creator, always obeying God. If his twin does not obey God, the placenta will consequently torture him on the Day of Judgment. By using phenomenological approach, this study analyses the data obtained through interviews, observations, documentation, and focus group discussions. The results of the study showed that the procession of Molobunga Yiliyala was traditionally through several stages. Starting with cleansing and shading with various ingredients. Subsequently, it followed by the delivery to the burial place, then the funeral or burial, and finally, the recitation of prayer. In each procession it involves cultural symbols that are loaded with local wisdom values. Among them: the value of purity, reflection and appreciation of the perfection of the human creation process; hope to be a good human being. All these processes mean: respect for all God's creations, appreciation for brotherhood, respect for environmental cleanliness, and the value of supervision from God. These values ​​have implications for the religious socio-religious life of the religious Gorontalo community and live in harmony.

As Yahwists negotiated their religion in the Persian period, they brought their inherited understandings of worship, theology, and religious personhood into a socio-political context very different from that of their forebears. Further, in a context where Yahwism now existed beyond the borders of Yehud, different Yahwistic communities constructed aspects of their religious life in ways different from each other as well. Exploring practices that perceptibly reflect and reinforce particular understandings of divine-human relations with respect to time and space (namely pilgrimage, sacrifice, and prayer), this chapter highlights the diversity, innovation, and re-use of tradition evident in both the textual and archaeological record of Yahwistic worship.

The notion that the Qur'an is always relevant all the time and space can also be applied to hadith. Its due to hadith itself, in fact, is an embodiment of Qur’anic teachings which means it comes from God’s revelation-Allah directly. Therefore, the slogan should not only be comprehended on rhetoric limitation, but rather be applied in religious life, national life, and state of life regularly. Considering the length of time and space in which starting from the emergence of Hadith until nowadays, of course, the gap between the hadith and the reader space was founded. Furthermore, added with the dark stories and dark histories in the past such as the phenomenon of hadith forgery, of course, it adds to the tension and the extent of the gap. According to the fact as mentioned, lead the researcher to conduct this study. Moreover, as a form of problem-solving to minimize the gaps, it really necessary attempts. Maintaining the values of hadith and the main objectives of hadith is the answer that can be pursued through two important attempts, there are: The first one is contextualization and revitalization of the hadith message. This step is carried out to reveal the fundamental message of the hadith in order to answer the gap as well as a bridge time and space, and the second one is applying it to the ulumul hadith principles, such as asbabul wurud and also is influenced with local wisdom. Furthermore, the scope of this study not only limited to focusing on studying the reconstruction of interpretations of hadith but also includes information on how to produce meaning and apply the concept of contextualization of the hadith's message. In addition, studying of how to explain the contextualization of hadith with the context of contemporary Indonesia through the reinterpretation and reproduction of the meanings of three phenomena; 1) the unification of the hijriyah calendar in Indonesia, 2) the reading of sighat ta'liq for the bridegroom, and 3) the inheritance of different religions.
