Babylonian Exile

The development of the Jewish nation in observing the Torah from the time of the Babylonian exile to the time of Jesus' presence in Judea continued, both amidst the changing cultural effects of politics on the existing government. The Torah is a reference for the Jewish people to live by in worship and in their daily life. The Jewish Torah strictly rules the norms relating to personal and social morals. The material of the Torah had developed at the time of Jesus, been added with interpretations of the 'letters' of the Torah, new attitudes of behavior, which were increasingly distant and increasingly difficult to do. The way they understand the Torah is seen in the attitude and manner of the teachings of Jesus. The scribes were adept at interpreting the Torah literally with convoluted explanations. Jesus declared that He came to fulfill the Torah. The application of the application of the Torah for the present time appears in spiritual values such as spiritual understanding of God's Word, Bible study, understanding the current passages of the Torah, as well as the need for one's qualifications to live the Word of God. Therefore, today we need hermeneutic principles so that we don't misinterpret the Bible.Perkembangan bangsa Yahudi dalam melakukan Taurat sejak dari masa pembuangan di Babel sampai pada masa kehadiran Yesus di Yudea terus berlanjut, baik di tengah perubahan budaya maupun dampak politik pada pemerintah yang ada saat itu. Taurat menjadi acuan pegangan hidup bangsa Yahudi dalam ibadah dan dalam hidup sehari-hari. Taurat orang Yahudi sangat ketat mengatur norma-norma yang menyangkut moral pribadi dan sosial. Materi Taurat sudah berkembang pada masa Yesus, ditambah dengan tafsiran-tafsiran ‘huruf’ Taurat, pedoman sikap tingkah laku, yang semakin jauh dan semakin sulit dilakukan.     Cara mereka memahami Taurat yang terlihat pada sikap dan cara menanggapi ajaran Yesus. Para ahli Taurat mahir dalam menginterpretasikan Taurat secara harafiah dengan keterangan berbelit-belit. Yesus menyatakan bahwa Ia datang untuk menggenapi Taurat. Implikasi penerapan Taurat untuk masa kini muncul pada nilai-nilai rohani seperti kebangunan rohani memahami Firman Tuhan, pendalaman Alkitab, memahami perikop-perikop Taurat untuk masa kini, serta perlu kualifikasi seseorang dalam menghayati Firman Allah. Maka untuk itu di masa kini perlu prinsip-prinsip Hermeneutik agar tidak keliru dalam menafsir Alkitab.

False Prophets

Luther’s, Zwingli’s, Bucer’s, and Zell’s early uses of prophecy focused on buttressing their teachings of the priesthood of all believers, rejecting Roman Catholic distinctions between the spiritual and temporal estates, and challenging Roman Catholic “tyranny” over biblical interpretation. These Protestant reformers defined a true prophet as one who proclaims and interprets the Word of God alone; the prophet and prophecy were therefore significant tools for rejecting Roman Catholic authority—by spurning Roman Catholic conceptions of the priesthood and identifying Roman Catholic leaders as false prophets—and ultimately for asserting the prime authority of Scripture. In the 1520s lay pamphleteers, including several female pamphleteers, embraced Luther’s, Zwingli’s, Bucer’s, and Zell’s early conceptions of the prophet in order to defend their call to proclaim God’s Word, interpret Scripture, and rebuke wrong teaching.

The Matrix

Whereas much theology of religions regards ‘the other’ as a problem to be solved, this book begins with a Church called to witness to its faith in a multicultural world by practising a generous yet risky hospitality. A theology of dialogue takes its rise from the Christian experience of being-in-dialogue. Taking its rise from the biblical narrative of encounter, call, and response, such a theology cannot be fully understood without reference to the matrix of faith that Christians share in complex ways with the Jewish people. The contemporary experience of the Shoah, the dominating religious event of the twentieth century, has complexified that relationship and left an indelible mark on the religious sensibility of both Jews and Christians. Engaging with a range of thinkers, from Heschel, Levinas, and Edith Stein who were all deeply affected by the Shoah, to Metz, Panikkar, and Rowan Williams, who are always pressing the limits of what can and cannot be said with integrity about the self-revealing Word of God, this book shows how Judaism is a necessary, if not sufficient, source of Christian self-understanding. What is commended by this foundational engagement is a hope-filled ‘waiting on grace’ made possible by virtues of empathy and patience. A theology of dialogue focuses not on metaphysical abstractions but on biblical forms of thought about God’s presence to human beings which Christians share with Jews and, under the continuing guidance of the Spirit of Christ, learn to adapt to a whole range of contested cultural and political contexts.

<p class="Bodytext20">The culture of educational institution is something that is built from the companionship between the values followed by the leader and those followed by the teachers and the staffs. Those values are built by human thought existing in the madrasah (school). The companionship, then, produces the thought of organization which emerges in the form of values to be believed by all members of the institution. Furthermore, those values will be the main medium to shape the culture of its educational institution. The culture then rises in many kinds of visible symbols and acts in the daily life of the educational institution. The concept of building the culture through companioning different values becomes an interesting topic to be explored through this paper. This paper also intends to explore the significance of forming and shaping the thought of organization as the way to lead a harmonious institution atmosphere.</p><p class="Bodytext20"> </p><p class="Bodytext20">Budaya lembaga pendidikan adalah sesuatu yang dibangun dari persahabatan antara nilai-nilai yang diikuti oleh pemimpin dan yang diikuti oleh para guru dan para staf.

Selanjutnya, nilai tersebut akan menjadi media utama untuk membentuk budaya lembaga pendidikannya.

Here we present a translation into Spanish of the medieval English poem titled “Sir Orfeo”, which was composed in the late 13th or early 14th centuries within the WestminsterMiddlesex area. Our main spur has been to disseminate it amongst the modern Spanish-speaking readers due to its literary beauty and its story, a story which is not certainly innovative; however, it is innovative as to the way its author has succeeded in adapting the classical or Ancient Greek myth to the medieval English mindset of the readers or listeners of the time so as to arouse their interest, entertain them and teach them with a didactic purpose. The poem comprises all the elements inherent to a prototypical lay (or lai): a knight-king, a love story, a physical and spiritual quest, the otherworld (or fairyland), and moral and spiritual values which should be taken into account by the audience. We have attempted to make the translation of “Sir Orfeo” into Spanish as faithful as possible regarding the original English poem in order to maintain its literary essence, freshness and character. “Sir Orfeo” was a very popular poem in its time, and there is no doubt that it will become popular again in the 21st century in the light of different perceptions and approaches.

The study of living Qur'an is one of the studies in the form of scientific research on social events in the Muslim community by positioning the Qur'an as the main behavior and actions in daily life. From there, it will be seen how they react continuously and live up to the values ​​of the al-Qur'an in their community. The study of the Living Qur'an appears as a phenomenon of the Qur'an in everyday life, namely the function and meaning of the Qur'an is understood and practiced by the Muslim community in real terms in everyday life. Unlike the study of the Koran which only focuses on the al-Qur'an as an object of study that focuses on the textuality of the Qur'an it self, while the living Al-Qur'an is more focused on the way people position the Qur'an. In his daily life. One example of this living Qur'an practice is the tradition of Free Lunch after Friday prayers at the Jogokariyan Mosque. In this tradition, the Muslim community tries to live up to the value of sodaqoh contained in the Al-Qur'an surah al-Baqarah verse 261. This tradition emerged in the community as a form of social tradition with the aim of providing assistance in the form of free lunch (free lunch) to Friday congregation.

The Way

Revelation cannot be approached directly. It is mediated all the way down. That is not just because of ‘sin’. Though sin is the manifestation of our alienation from God—an alienation overcome by God’s reconciling operations in salvation—a diastema between Creator and creation still pertains. There is no immediate encounter with the Word of God available to us as such. It is always mediated to us through human words and human acts, stories (biblical and autobiographical) and material practices, the Church and its liturgies, and the cultures we inhabit that shape us. The voice of the Lord comes to us in and through the darknesses and ambivalences of our various unredeemed and yet to be redeemed states. We are addressed, continually addressed, by God’s transformative grace, by his love and mercy, in and through our condition as created. The voice is accommodated to that condition, and can be accommodated because the Word of God is written into creation, coming finally, and intensively, in Jesus Christ. So the voice can be heard: makes itself available to be heard. But the eternal presence of God pro nobis (where the ‘we’ is not just humankind but all God’s creatures, pace Barth), the eternal presence of God-with-us that is the touchstone and content of revelation, bubbles up intrinsically through the obscurities of created and creative experience.
