Socio-economic prosperity is always interwoven in the history of religious human life. This study uses qualitative research methods with descriptive analysis to see religion as part of economic culture to fight for entrepreneurial welfare as a joint empowerment movement for social welfare.

Religion in this case Christianity (the church) becomes the locus of economic empowerment through the Credit Union (CU) to realize prosperity in a community. The behavior of economic growth is indeed strongly influenced by the values that develop in a particular community.

Since the spread of modernization to all corners of the world, human life, especially Muslims, has undergone many changes regarding perspectives and behavior towards various kinds of individual and community groups. All aspects of life in terms of religion, social, economy, education, culture experience drastic changes. One of the effects of modernization has led to large-scale economic changes, especially in people's consumption behavior due to the abundance of objects of service, and the availability of material goods on the market. So that the purpose of consumption in modern society is not only to fulfill the needs of life but also for pleasure and desire and mere satisfaction. Not only that, the consumption behavior of the community, especially the Muslim community, no longer fits the spiritual dimension of their religion, but is influenced by the capitalist concept that bases everything on materialist measures. So that their lives are based on the ideology of hedonism, the main purpose of which is only to obtain material pleasures and pleasures. Thus, Islamization of consumer behavior is needed to free Muslim society from secular doctrine and materialistic nature. And Islam offers the concept of maslaha and the nature of moderation based on Islamic economic ethics on this consumption theory. The method used is qualitative research methods with library research (library research). The data in this study were obtained using the documentary method, to look for data on consumption behavior of modern society, consumption theory, concepts and processes of Islamization, sourced from books, journals, the internet, and papers. Data analysis methods used are inductive, and comparative descriptive analysis.

The Church in carrying out its mission must present the sign of Shalom to mankind. In carrying out its vocation, the church must interact with all aspects of human life, namely social economy, culture, politics and so on; so that the role of the Church can be seen and impacted on every creature in the world. HKBP is one of the Churches who made their vocation in Batak land. HKBP was greatly influenced by zending who preached the gospel to the Batak people. However, HKBP in carrying out its Theology, it is also included in cultural values, especially the culture of the Batak marriage as a form of contextual theology carried out. Therefore, HKBP can declare the sign of Shalom to the congregation through Church rules that must be followed by all members of the HKBP church. This is an effort to contextualize theology carried out by HKBP on the kinship culture of the Batak Society.Keywords: custom, theology of HKBP, Toba Batak society

This paper discusses the relationship between time and salvation that exists in the Christian liturgy, in which time possesses two characteristics. One is its sacredness, and the other is a special property that does not exist outside the liturgy but derives directly from its anamnetic dimension: it is a “medium” and an “existential context” of the real salvation delivered and still being delivered by Christ. The author begins with a reflection on time in cultural anthropology and the history of religion, demonstrating unambiguously that, since the earliest of days, disparate cultures and religions have shared the conviction that time is sacred. He then goes on to address the biblical concept of time which has fundamentally contributed to a fuller understanding of the essence and nature of liturgical time as the καιρός of salvation. It is in the liturgy of the Church—the final earthly stage in the history of salvation—that the salvific, effective and real encounter between God’s eternity and human life takes place. The Christian liturgy is an otherworldly act of salvation in worldly space and time, a manifestation of the “fullness of time.” The paper also attempts to offer a preliminary juxtaposition of the theological understanding of liturgical time with the findings of modern physics concerning the understanding and description of time. This may serve to stimulate further, more in-depth biblical and theological (and in particular theologico-liturgical) reflection on the phenomenon of time, and perhaps even a new look at the phenomenon of time on the part of modern physicists.

The issue of land is an important part in the history of human life. In its development, the land was exploited to meet the growing human needs. This is evident from two cases of land use that existed among Aboriginal communities in Australia and Dayak communities in Ketapang, West Kalimantan. One understanding that can be used in this assistance process is that the process of excessive and arbitrary exploitation of land will have a bad influence on human life itself. Christian theology itself places land as part of nature that is inseparable from human life. The church needs to establish itself as part of this awareness process because if it does not, the church will face its responsibilities before God as the Creator. Persoalan tanah adalah bagian penting dalam sejarah kehidupan manusia. Dalam perkembangannya tanah diesksploitasi demi memenuhi kebutuhan manusia yang semakin bertambah. Hal ini tampak jelas dari dua kasus pemanfaatan tanah yang ada di tengah masyarakat Aborigin di Australia dan masyarakat Dayak yang ada di Ketapang, Kalimantan Barat. Satu pemahaman yang dapat dipakai dalam proses pendampingan ini adalah proses eksploitasi yang berlebihan dan semena-mena terhadap tanah akan memiliki pengaruh buruk bagi kehidupan manusia itu sendiri. Teologi Kristen sendiri menempatkan tanah sebagai bagian dari alam yang tidak terpisahkan dari kehidupan manusia. Gereja perlu membangun dirinya sebagai bagian dari proses penyadaran ini sebab jika tidak, maka gereja akan berhadapan dengan tanggung-jawabnya di hadapan Tuhan sebagai Sang Pencipta.

Os nomes próprios de lugares, os topônimos, são elementos singulares do léxico da língua que, dentre suas várias funções como signo toponímico, prestam-se como indícios da história dos povos que os utilizam em suas interações verbais. Para além disso, são verdadeiros testemunhos dos diversos aspectos da memória e da identidade. Com esta perspectiva, este trabalho tem como objetivo principal verificar como os topônimos dos aglomerados urbanos da cidade de Balsas - MA manifestam as representações identitárias, de memória e de história de seus habitadores. A metodologia segue os pressupostos da onomástica, notadamente da toponímia, com uma análise descritiva das categorias identidade e memória entrelaçadas com a história, as quais são aplicadas aos topônimos de natureza antropocultural de base antroponímica, axionímica, coronímica e historionímica. Os resultados revelam que esses topônimos do sul do Maranhão expressam as acepções que abarcam a visão do mundo e da vida física e a visão da vida humana, os quais representam caracteres memorísticos e identitários dos vários povos que habitam este município, estabelecendo uma proximidade com essas transposições e instituições da língua.Abstract: The proper names of places, toponyms, are singular elements of the lexicon of the language that, among its various functions as toponymic sign, lend themselves as evidence of the history of the people who use them in their verbal interactions.

This chapter introduces contextualization in the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui (Anglican Church) and its significance for Hong Kong and Macau and for the Anglican communion. We seek to be heuristic and probing, not definitive or comprehensive. After a description of the Hong Kong context and a brief survey of the history of the church, the chapter considers some key areas of concern: the contextualization of theology and liturgy and the decision to compile a new Book of Common Prayer, the church’s mission in social welfare and education; work in the Macau Missionary Area; and deepening relationships with the church in mainland China. The contextualization of Anglicanism in Hong Kong and Macau, may be seen as an issue of ‘identity-in-community’, which means that we need to learn to embrace not exclude one another in life together. As ‘Hongkongese’ Christians living together in a globalized metropolis, we need to affirm both the multiplicity and the hybridity of our identities.

Talking about God has always been a topic of conversation among theologians. Karen Armstrong as a theologian tries to explain the existence of God. Her book entitled The History of God, Karen Armstrong describes in detail the existence of God in the history of human life. The book tells about Karen Armstrong's hesitation in finding the essence of the Trinity in the concept of Christian divinity. Karen Armstrong went through several phases in her skepticism to reach the essence of God in her faith. This paper will discuss Karen Armstrong's view of the Concept of God in Christian Religion using descriptive analysis of the book History of God. The results of the study show that in Christianity the concept of divinity exists in the Trinity, namely God the Father, God the Son and the Holy Spirit. Where Jesus Christ is considered as God because it is believed that Jesus is the Word who became human. The strengths and weaknesses of the Trinity in Christianity that are not understood by everyone. The history book about God examines the history of human perceptions and experiences of God from the time of Prophet Abraham to the present. Karen Armstrong explains in detail the three monotheistic religions, namely Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The book also features Buddhist, Hindu and Confucian traditions. For Karen Armstrong Religion is not about believing in something. Religion is a matter of morals, behaving in ways that change oneself, bringing oneself closer to the holy and sacred.

About the Thought-Image in Grundtvig’s Last PoemBy William MichelsenThe article is a contribution to the on-going debate about the interpretation of a hardly legible line in Grundtvig’s last poem, .Old Enough I Now Have Grown. (Grundtvig Studier, 1994, p. 107).In last year’s Grundtvig Studier, FI. Lundgreen Nielsen argues in favour of the reading .Soul-Ferry-Prow., understanding the phrase as determined by .a reversed Charon myth, the antique ferryman having been replaced by the Spirit of God, and his barge pole by the compass of God’s word. (Grundtvig Studier, 1994, p. 116).Thus, with some support in Bent Noack’s interpretation (Vartovbogen, 1993), FI. Lundgreen-Nielsen can read the poem as pervaded by maritime images. William Michelsen agrees on this point, but objects to the understanding of Grundtvig’s last poem as a reversed Charon myth. Instead William Michelsen reads the poem as an example of Grundtvig’s use of the symbol world of Nordic mythology in his personal Christian poetry. Grundtvig expresses his thoughts in poetry, and thus a thought image arises. The decisive feature of the thought image in this poem is precisely that it contradicts the Charon image, i.e. the notion that man’s death is a journey to the land of the dead. To Grundtvig, the sea is usually not an image of death, but an image of history, of human life. In Grundtvig’s view, death does not mean that life comes to an end, but death means a dangerous journey, since it takes man either towards the land of the dead or the heavenly harbour. In accordance with the old world picture, the firmament is close to the earth, encircling the horizon. In Nordic mythology, the inhabited land was surrounded by the ocean, separating the earth from the land of the dead, Hel or Valhalla. Thus William Michelsen defines the poem not just as a »song of farewell«, but as a poem expressing a view of life, applicable to every Christian. Instead of »Soul-Ferry-Prow«, Grundtvig’s son Svend Grundtvig reads the difficult line as »Soul-Eye-Prow«, which would make the poem into an exclusively personal poem. William Michelsen does not reject this personal interpretation, but sees the ship as the nave, the »church ship«, the Christian church, where the Spirit of God is the master mariner, and where many people, the whole of Christendom, together with Grundtvig, are on board. Usually Grundtvig sees the church in terms of a house, and not until now, during the composition of this poem, does he see the church as a ship, steered by the Spirit of God to ensure that the church reaches the »Heavenly Harbour« - this being emphasized by the masculine ending of the last stanza but one. The poem is an expression of Grundtvig’s Christian interpretation of the existential situation of man facing death.
