A woman is more often become second-class citizens in terms of leadership. Although age has become the time of emancipation, however, in some sectors of life, a women have not got the right place and in accordance with nature. This also happens in church life. Many of the rules and procedures that the church does not provide flexibility for women to lead. There are many reasons, such as reasons for prohibiting the biblical text, up to a certain cultural reasons, including certain church culture that has not provided the opportunity for women to lead. Therefore, in this Tulsan authors highlight the role of women in the New Testament for the development of women's leadership in the church. Abstrak Perempuan atau wanita lebih sering menjadi warga kelas dua dalam hal kepemimpinan. Walaupun zaman ini telah menjadi zaman emansipasi, namun demikian di beberapa sector kehidupan, perempuan atau wanita belum mendapat tempat yang pas dan sesuai dengan kodratnya. Hal ini juga terjadi di dalam kehidupan bergereja. Banyak peraturan dan tata gereja yang tidak memberikan keleluasan bagi perempuan untuk memimpin. Ada banyak alas an, seperti alas an teks Alkitab yang melarang, sampai alas an budaya tertentu, termasuk budaya gereja tertentu yang belum memberikan kesempatan kepada perempuan untuk memimpin. Oleh karena itu, dalam Tulsan ini penulis menyoroti peranan perempuan dalam Perjanjian Baru demi perkembangan kepemimpinan perempuan di dalam gereja.

Role Of Women

Abstract How does the New Testament view role of women in Christian community? The answers to that questions can be found in a number of books in the New Testament. Of these, one that stands out is the Gospel of Luke. In this article we argues that Luke presents the story of the gospel by highlighting minorities, especially women. This is proven from many sections in the Gospel of Luke, for example: Luke 1. We explore three stories in Luke 1 namely: the birth of John the Baptist foretold (vv. 5-25), the birth of Jesus foretold (vv. 26-38) , and Mary visits Elizabeth (vv. 39-45). All three stories show the significance of Mary and Elizabeth's role as women who receive gifts from God. To this gift they show an appropriate faith response. Mary is told as a woman who is obedient and ready to carry out God's message through the angel Gabriel. Elizabeth is told as a woman who is barren but has integrity, and shows faith in the movement of the Holy Spirit within her. Both have an important role in the birth of Jesus Christ, the Messiah and the Savior. Both figures show that women can be used by the Holy Spirit. Through empowerment by the Holy Spirit women have gifts that can be used for the common good in the Christian community. The New Testament never ruled out the role of women in the Christian community.   Keywords: : women; gospel; gift; luke   Abstrak Bagaimana Perjanjian Baru memandang peran perempuan dalam komunitas Kristen? Jawaban dari pertanyaan tersebut dapat ditemukan dalam sejumlah kitab di Perjanjian Baru. Dari sekian kitab tersebut, salah satu yang menonjol adalah Injil Lukas. Dalam artikel ini peneliti berargumentasi bahwa Lukas mempresentasikian kisah Injil dengan menonjolkan kaum minoritas, khususnya kaum perempuan. Hal ini nampak dari banyak bagian di dalam Injil Lukas, salah satunya adalah Lukas 1. Peneliti mengeksplorasi tiga kisah dalam Lukas 1 yaitu: pemberitahuan tentang kelahiran Yohanes Pembaptis (ay. 5-25), pemberitahuan tentang kelahiran Yesus (ay. 26-38), dan perjumpaan Maria dengan Elisabet (ay. 39-45).  Ketiga kisah tersebut memperlihatkan signifikansi peran Maria dan Elisabet sebagai perempuan yang mendapatkan karunia dari Tuhan Allah. Terhadap karunia tersebut mereka menunjukkan respon iman yang tepat. Maria dikisahkan sebagai perempuan yang taat dan siap melaksanakan pesan Tuhan melalui malaikat Gabriel.  Elisabet dikisahkan sebagai perempuan yang mandul tetapi berintegritas, dan menunjukkan iman kepada gerakan Roh Kudus di dalam dirinya. Keduanya mempunyai peran penting di dalam kelahiran Yesus Kristus, Sang Mesias dan Juruselamat. Kedua tokoh tersebut memperlihatkan bahwa perempuan dapat dipakai oleh Roh Kudus. Melalui pemberdayaan oleh Roh Kudus perempuan mempunyai karunia yang dapat dipakai demi kepentingan bersama dalam komunitas Kristen. Perjanjian Baru tidak pernah mengesampingkan peran perempuan dalam komunitas Kristen.   Kata Kunci: perempuan; injil; karunia; lukas

The Subject

The object of this research is the essay “The Vision of Mirza” by Joseph Addison. The relevance of studying J. Addison's essay is substantiated by undue attention to his works in the Russian literary studies, as well as the need for tracing the dynamics in the genre of vision in the Age of Enlightenment. The subject of this research is the title and epigraph as parts of the work that determine its structure and artistic distinctness. Analysis is conducted on the images of the viewer, visionary hero, and his guide, chronotope of the essay and allusive links. The essay is based on the combination of systemic-structural, comparative-historical, and hermeneutic methods. The novelty consists in the fact that the comprehensive examination of the role of the title ensemble within the structure of the essay allows reconstructing the link of the essay with the traditions of the medieval genre of vision manifested in the traditional topic and consistent motifs, imagery system, space and time arrangement, and dialogical structure of the text. The author provides interpretation to the allusive links between J. Addison's essay and Greco-Roman mythology, epic poem “The Aeneid” by Virgil, and psalms from the New Testament, and “The Voyage of St. Brendan”. It is established that the dialogue set by the epigraph passes through the entire plotline of the essay and reveal the characters of its participants. The extensively presented Christian theme alongside the images from ancient mythology and Virgil’s texts are essential for the author to express the enlightening program.

Subordinate Role

According to the book of Hebrews, the locus of Jesus’ intercession is found in his role as a high priest. Yet neither the Levitical high priest nor Melchizedek, the prototype after which Jesus’ priestly function is modelled, interceded in a strict sense of the word. In a context where prayer is seen as an activity that pertains to the purview of the weak or needy, how then does one conceive of Jesus’ intercession as portrayed in Hebrews 7:25? In addition, does it not seem rather incongruous that Jesus at the height (right hand) of power should still be found to be interceding? It raises some theological questions as to the subordinate role of the exalted Christ. This stands in sharp relief to other passages in the New Testament that have used the same background text, Psalm 110, to advance the motif of a triumphant Jesus. The contention of this article is that in addition to Psalm 110 that is explicitly cited and alluded to in the letter to the Hebrews, the servant’s song in Isaiah 52:13–53:12 stands behind the high priest motif in Hebrews. The explication of the twin role of Jesus as an intercessor and as an ‘atoner’ for the sins of the people coheres in the servant’s song. The article submits that Jesus’ intercession is indeed a continuation of his vicarious interposition whereby he takes the weakness of the people upon himself and stands in their stead.
