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.

The Church

We can trace a revival of theology in the Reformed Churches in the last quarter of a century. The new theological interest merits being called a revival of theology, for there has been a fresh and more thorough attention given to certain realities, either ignored or treated with scant notice for a considerable time previously.First among such realities now receiving more of the attention which their relevance and authority deserve, is the Bible, the record of the Word of God. There is an invigorating and convincing quality about theology which is Biblical throughout, being based on the witness of the Scriptures as a whole. The valuable results of careful Biblical scholarship had had an adverse effect on theology in so far as theologians had completely separated the Old Testament from the New in their treatment of Biblical doctrine, or in expanding Christian doctrine, had spoken of the theological teaching of the Synoptic Gospels, the Pauline Epistles, the Johannine writings, and so on, as if there were no such thing as one common New Testament witness. It is being seen anew that the Holy Scriptures contain a complete history of God's saving action. The presence of the complete Bible open at the heart of the Church, recalls each succeeding Christian generation to that one history of God's saving action, to which the Church is the living witness. The New Testament is one, for its Lord is one, and Christian theology must stand four-square on the foundation of its whole teaching.

Tectonic Movements

Tectonic movements – continuously re-moulding the surface of the earth over the inexorable activity of underlying plate motions – are rarely taken into account when assessing landscape change, except as an exotic hazard to human life or a temporary disruption in longer-term trends. Active tectonics also create and sustain landscapes that can be beneficial to human survival. The tectonic history of northwest Greece shows Palaeolithic sites located to take advantage of tectonically created features at both local and regional scales.

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.

AbstractAlthough sustainability is a growing concern of business today, there has been little progress toward a sustainable future. This is because the idea of sustainability in academic and policy debates is too small and too beholden to the assumptions that have created today's environmental and development crises. Consequently, calls for reform have neither the vision nor the authority to sustain the relationships of self, society, and environment that define human life. Reaching beyond our profession of business management to our Christian faith, we argue for a bigger idea of sustainability that orients these relationships to God. We identify sustainability with four principles of Christian theology—which we label anthropic, relational, ethical, and divine love—and we link economic development with eight principles of Catholic social doctrine—which the Church labels unity and meaning, common good, universal destination, subsidiarity, participation, solidarity, social values, and love. This bigger idea of sustainability transforms talk about the future from a gloomy contentiousness rooted in fear to a bright cooperation rooted in hope.

Chapter 11 explores whether the majority opinion in Christian theology should be deferred to, or strongly preferred, whether it be the majority opinion over the history of the church (as in G. K. Chesterton’s “democracy of the dead”) or the majority opinion of contemporary theologians. It is argued that because of the vast differences in accessible evidence between past and present-day theologians, diachronic majority opinion is not a good indicator of where the truth lies. In the synchronic case, ignorance of minority arguments, biases, selection effects, and the difficulty to deciding who gets to vote present many opportunities for majorities to be wrong. Finally, it is considered whether the internal testimony of the Holy Spirit could rescue the democracy of the dead, but the conclusion is reached that given the gentle way God corrects us, diachronic majority opinion, apart from belief in a very basic set of truths, is not epistemically bolstered by the Spirit.

Laurie Maffly-Kipp's address to the American Society of Church History proffers the challenge of engaging seriously with the “church” in church history. She notes that scholarship on Christianity has increasingly focused on broader cultural themes in lieu of a more strict concern with churches as institutions in their own right. Maffly-Kipp's challenge reminded me of a particular context in the history of Christianity: the eighteenth-century city-state of Ogua (or, more familiarly, Cape Coast), in present-day Ghana. In the 1750s, the family of a local youth sent their child, Philip Quaque, to study abroad in London under the auspices of the Anglican Church. The young Quaque spent the next eleven years of this life cultivating expertise in Anglican liturgy, Christian theology, and British mores. Before returning home in his early twenties, he was ordained to the Anglican priesthood—the first African to have done so.

Every human society and almost all of human life are infused with ethics. How do we best understand human morality and ethics? I want to argue that responsible ethics rests on a credible understanding of what it means to be human. This article proposes that a more comprehensive understanding of the distinctive human imagination, religious awareness and morality – all of which are significant aspects of being human – will facilitate a more responsible understanding and practice of ethics. Such an understanding entails a bottom-up view, which takes seriously the exploration of the fundamental evolutionary realities of human nature, that is, a natural history of morality. The quest for understanding the propensity for imagination, religious awareness and morality can be aided by exploring the core role of the evolutionary transition between becoming and being human. Accordingly, this research combines a niche construction perspective with fossil and archaeological evidence, highlighting the role of complexity in human evolution, which adds to our understanding of a completely human way of being in the world. A distinctively human imagination is part of the explanation for human evolutionary success and accordingly our sense of morality and religious disposition. The methodology this article applies is that of an interdisciplinary approach combining perspectives of some of the most prominent voices in the modern discourses on imagination, religious awareness and morality. What results from this approach is, first, a more comprehensive understanding of the human imagination, the capacity for religious awareness and morality. Ultimately, by creatively integrating the various perspectives evident in this research – by way of a philosophical bridge theory between evolutionary anthropology and theology – this article attempts to determine whether evolutionary thought can be constructively appropriated to interdisciplinary Christian theology and ethics.

The purpose of this study is to describe the religion and culture of entrepreneurship economics as a tool for public welfare. 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. But religion and economics need the skills to make it happen, so that not only talk about individual interests (self economic), but for living together (social economy). 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. Considering that economic development cannot be separated from the cultural process itself. The practice of CU at CU Bahtera Abadi has provided a change in economic cultural behavior through awareness education and skills for members to develop their skills in managing themselves and themselves with other individuals. On the other hand, it contributes to the culture of organization and entrepreneurship. The values of education and empowerment are very important to continue to be developed to form a new habitus for future generations.

Abstract: Human life has two of the most basic aspects and must be fulfiled by each person in a balanced manner. Namely physical needs and spiritual needs. Physical needs are more physical in nature, while spiritual needs are non-physical, including spiritual, mental and psychological needs. Religious ritual acrivities are a way of fulfilling human needs spiritually. It is an expression of spiritual need and power boyond the senses of human life. This success does not fall away from the place where these activities take place. The church must have a functional lever both physically and psychologically. Physically, space contributes as a container in accordance with the activities in it, while psychologically space provides an experience of space is very relevant to the perceptions of each individual where it is related to religions perceptions.Abstrak: Kehidupan manusia mempunyai dua aspek yang paling mendasar dan wajib untuk di penuhi oleh setiap pribadinya secara seimbang. Yaitu kebutuhan jasmani dan kebutuhan rohani. Kebutuhan jasmani lebih bersifat secara fisik, sedangkan kebutuhan rohani bersifat secara non fisik, antara lain kebutuhan spiritual, mental, dan psikologis. Kegiatan ritual keagamaan adalah salah satu cara memenuhi kebutuhan manusia secara rohani. Hal ini merupakan pengungkapan kebutuhan spiritual dan kekuatan diluar batas indrawi kehidupan manusia. Keberhasilan ini tidak terhempas dari wadah di mana kegiatan tersebut berlangsung. Gereja harus memiliki tingkat fungsional baik secara fisik maupun psikis. Secara fisik, ruang memberi konstribusi sebagai wadah yang sesuai dengan kegiatan didalamnya, sedangkan secara psikis ruang memberi sebuah pengalaman ketika orang sedang berada di dalamnya. Pengalaman ruang sangat memiliki revelansi dengan hasil persepsi setiap individu di mana hal ini berkaitan dengan persepsi religius.
