AbstractPoverty and impoverishment are social realities that have been struggling for most of the world community to this day. Christians who are part of society that form social fibers with the stereotype of "loving" should have social concern for the problems of poverty and impoverishment. The facts show that some Christians are indifferent in the face of such struggles. This study aims to show the fact that Christian scriptures actually accommodate poverty struggles. This research uses a qualitative approach methodology. Sources of data were obtained from Bible studies and literature consisting of books, internet, articles, and other written data related to this research.Specifically, this research will apply the Biblical Theology method including a hermeneutic approach to Bible study with the aim of understanding the meaning of the text which in this study is associated with the problems of poverty and impoverishment. This paper aims to show that the Christian scriptures basically accommodate the problems of poverty and impoverishment which are social facts that become an integral part of the life of Christian faith.  The research results show three accommodations of Christian Scriptures to the problems of poverty and impoverishment, among others: Theism in Christian scriptures that embraces the poor, Messianism in Christian scriptures that embraces the poor, and Axiologism in Christian scriptures.Abstrak: Kemiskinan dan pemiskinan merupakan realitas sosial yang menjadi pergumulan sebagian besar masyarakat dunia sampai hari ini.

Penelitian ini menggunakan metodologi pendekatan kualitatif.   Sumber data didapatkan dari studi Alkitab dan literatur yang terdiri dari buku-buku, internet, artikel, serta data tertulis lain yang berkaitan dengan penelitian ini.  Secara spsesifik penelitian ini akan menerapkan metode Teologi Biblika mencakup pendekatan hermeneutik untuk pengkajian Alkitab dengan tujuan memahami makna teks   yang dalam penelitian ini dikaitkan dengan problema kemiskinan dan pemiskinan.  Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menunjukkan bahwa kitab suci Kristen pada dasarnya mengakomodasi problema kemiskinan dan pemiskinan yang merupakan fakta sosial yang menjadi bagian integral dalam kehidupan iman umat Kristen. Hasil penelitian menunjukan tiga akomodasi Kitab Suci Kristen terhadap problema kemiskinan dan pemiskinan antara lain: Teisme dalam kitab suci Kristen yang merangkul kaum miskin, Mesianisme dalam kitab suci Kristen yang merangkul kaum miskin, dan Aksiologisme dalam kitab suci Kristen yang merangkul kaum miskin.

AbstractAll Churches and Missionary Movements in different parts of the world assert without hesitation that in all that they do, they follow the way of Jesus Christ. But the gross injustice in international economic dealings promoted by the so-called 'Christian Nations' in the world and the consequent widening of the gap between the rich and the poor in the world, the discrimination of people on the basis of creed, class, race and colour practised by many Christians and the power-struggle and corruption found in many local churches make the world wonder, the way of which Christ these Christians follow! The image of the Biblical Jesus is that of the Servant-leader, crowned with thorns, who emptied himself of all worldly riches, pomp and power and laid down his life as a ransom for many. Since the time of Emperor Constantine, this thorn-crowned servant Jesus is turned into a gold-crowned King, an anti-Christ with the face of 'Mammon', the idol of riches and power. Since one cannot worship God and Mammon at the same time, it is mandatory on the part of us all faithful Christians, to introspect ourselves and decide, the way of which Christ we want to follow.

The Image and Impact of Islamic Resurgence The global phenomenon of Islamic resurgence (or Islamic revival­ism). which has caught the attention of Muslims and non-Muslims, has impacted the world community in many different ways. Much of this reassertiveness of the Islamic ethos has been discussed and published.' Feeling somewhat threatened by the "rise of Islam" as it were, the gen­eral non-Muslim and western attitude has been one of suspicion and awe: such Muslim "fundamentalist" behavior and trends, it was argued, had to be checked or even thwarted, or else Muslims would make life difficult for others. There were some exceptions to such a negative atti­tude and response. but by and large such a wariness had permeated the thinking of many non-Muslims, including western powers and the non­Muslim world generally. This mindset lingers until today as the world approaches the arrival of the twenty-first century-manifest, for instance. in the "clash of civi­lization" thesis postulated by the well-known Harvard professor, Samuel Hun-tington recently. Even more recent was the declaration by both the French Defense Minister and the NATO secretary-general that the world today is facing a new threat after the fall of communism, that of Islamic fundamentalism, and their call for the West to bolster support only to what he called moderate Muslim regimes.2 The behavior and actions of fanatics and extremists, both Muslim and non-Muslim, the world over, have exacerbated the problem and, consequently, worsened the poor image that people have of Muslims and Islam ...

Al-Azhar in its development, not only as a place to study religion or shelter for the poor, even al-Azhar is also a unifying place for the people in the struggle to free Egypt from colonialism. The specialty of al-Azhar is not only skilled in producing quality scholars, but it also builds world civilization in two ways, namely the personality possessed by al-Azhar itself, and through its graduates who bring change to the world community. Al-Azhar not only becomes history, but witnesses and carves history in the wonders of the world of education and civilization. And the existence of al-Azhar is clear evidence that Islam is a religion that cares about education, health, arts, and other general sciences.

When the world came to its senses after the Second World War and reports of the horrors of the Holocaust began to spread, the international community reacted with disbelief. And when reality proved much worse than even the worst nightmare, the world community reacted unanimously with a general outcry: crimes of this magnitude must never happen again. It appeared quite clear that, in the future, the international community would never again remain inactive in the face of such appalling tragedy. Yet, the firm imperative “never again” has become “again and again,” and the same dreadful crimes have been repeated in many parts of the world.

The crisis in Adventism in South Africa is that eschatology has been an escape wagon from liberative mission, or at best, an optional, even disposable aspect of the gospel. This attitude or understanding of seeing everything in the future with no connection to the present has caused Adventists to shun social, political and cultural responsibilities. This article explicates and advocates the position that Adventists must explore the broader message and liberative meaning, purpose and function of the Sabbath. As a re-interpretation of the traditional, legalistic understanding of the doctrine of the Sabbath, the model proposed locates the Sabbath at the centre of a radically liberative mission to the poor. It argues that rest, as a mark of wholeness, must be realised in those aspects of human life that the Sabbath addresses; and that theology is not averse to liberative mission. Any theology which claims to be a biblical theology must link its understanding of the gospel to social concern. Therefore, this article aims to retrieve and biblically articulate aspects of the Sabbath doctrine. Adventists cannot be persuaded to operate meaningfully in responding to the millennial hopes of the poor outside of formal recognition of the potency of the Sabbath as a time of deliverance or liberation of people from social, emotional, political and material consequences of sin. Thus, in the following sub-themes the broader liberative message and meaningful aspects of the Sabbath will be explored. The universality of the Sabbath will touch on the following: the Sabbath as a time for release from labour, from oppressive life, indeed a time to embrace even justice and mercy. The Sabbath entails an inclusive mission, God’s dominion-free order in a world impacted by violent engagement with oppressive powers; Sabbath as missionary in its nature will also be explicated.

This article discusses the Economic Reflections of Asean countries in facing the Covid-19 Pandemic in several Asean countries, namely Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia. Vietnam's economic growth was victorious, the economies of various countries in other Southeast Asian regions were battered by the corona virus. The process of economic growth is influenced by two kinds of factors, namely economic factors and non-economic factors. Economic factors, which are none other than production factors, are the main force affecting economic growth. Malaysia has proven to the world community that its country is capable of managing its economy even in challenging circumstances. He quoted the IMF as global economy recorded negative growth and in Indonesia it seems that contraction in income activities in some income classes is affected. In the second quarter there is a slowdown, then in the third quarter the savings are enormous. It could be that consumption, which has been a factor in economic growth, will be a challenge. In an effort to maintain economic stability during the Covid-19 pandemic. This reflects that the economies of ASEAN countries, even in the world, are currently under the same pressure due to the Covid-19 virus pandemic, the world economy this year will experience a recession.
