“Berjalan dalam Roh” adalah ungkapan yang sering kita dengar di kalangan Kristen terutama di kalangan Pentakosta. Tetapi berjalan dalam Roh bukan sekedar ungkapan, ini adalah cara hidup seorang Kristen. Dalam Surat Galatia perkataaan “berjalan” ditulis “peripateo” (Gal 5:16) dan “stoikheo” (Gal 5:25). Peripateo artinya berjalan secara fisik atau melangkah dan secara figuratif sering diterjemahkan sebagai hidup atau cara hidup. Sehingga berjalan dalam Roh adalah cara hidup orang Kristen atau langkah orang Kristen untuk berjalan bersama Tuhan. Sedangkan "stoikheo" artinya berjalan dengan tujuan yang jelas dalam satu garis lurus, sehingga orang yang berjalan tinggal mengikuti orang yang ada di depannya. Kedua kata ini mengajarkan bahwa kita harus aktif bertindak untuk melangkah sambil mengikuti yang ada di depannya. Orang yang berada di depan kita adalah Yesus Kristus, dan setiap orang percaya harus mengikut jejak-Nya. Karena Yesus berkata, “Marilah ikut Aku”. Perkataan Yesus ini menggambarkan seseorang yang berjalan mengikuti Yesus dalam satugaris lurus. Paulus mengatakan bahwa dirinya adalah peniru Tuhan (1Kor 11:1) dan ia menganjurkan kepada orang Kristen agar mengikuti apa yang ia telah lakukan, yaitu menjadi seorang peniru Tuhan.Jemaat di Tesalonika menuruti nasihatnya dan menjadi peniru Tuhan dan peniru Paulus (1Tes. 1:6), sedangkan jemaat di Efesus peniru Allah (Ef. 5:1). Jadi berjalan dalam Roh artinya meniru apa yang Tuhan kerjakan atau bekerja bersama-sama dengan Tuhan. Supaya mudah meniru, maka kita memerlukan contoh-contoh dari kehidupan orang-orang kudus yang ada dalam Alkitab, baik dalam Perjanjian Lama maupun Perjanjian Baru. Jika kita berjalan dalam Roh Kudus, maka kita mendapat manfaat besar dalam pertumbuhan iman, sehingga pertumbuhan rohaninya sangat baik, bahkan lama kelamaan bisa menjadi sempurna seperti Kristus. Kita perlu berjalan dalam Roh, sebab kita memiliki banyak musuh antara lain Iblis, dunia dan kedagingan. Ketiga musuh ini bisa dikalahkan kalau kita terus menerus mau dipimpin Roh Kudus.   AbstractMost Christians are familiar with the term "walking in the Spirit", yet the term does notexist in the Indonesian Bible, even though the English Bible has it. How can we explain thephenomenon and the origin of the term? According to the Epistle of Galatians 5:16 and5:25 which are the main subjects of this article, there are two words related to that term:peripateo and stoikheo. The article is an exploration to their meaning. The methodologyused in this journal is biblical text interpretation followed with further exploration on theharmony of this teaching of Galatian 5 with the content of other texts in the Bible. Fromthis research, it was found that the terms "peripateo" (Gal 5:16) and "stoikheo" (Gal 5:25)indicate a lifestyle and consistency to follow a straight line or line of people who havefollowed Christ earlier. It is also closely related to what Jesus said that everyone whofollows Him must deny themselves and take up the cross. The study clarifies the meaningof walking in the Spirit: it means that whoever follows Jesus should carry the cross anddeny himself while walking together in the line of people before him.

In the conclusion, the intrinsic deconstructive power of philology is contrasted with external pressures moving philology in different political and religious directions. The positions of the main protagonists differed widely, but they show that the less they were institutionalized, the more freedom they had to present unorthodox theories. As in the case of natural science, biblical philology was a handmaiden of theology, but it could also be used against certain theologies. In the end, the accumulation of evidence regarding the history of the Bible and the transmission of its texts, could not fail to impinge on the authority of Scripture. The problems in the transmission of the biblical text were widely discussed in the decade leading up to the publication of the Theological-political Treatise. Readers of Spinoza were already familiar with the type of reasoning which Spinoza employed in the central chapters of his notorious work.

This chapter shows the unquestionable role of the sign of the cross as the primary sign of divine authority in Carolingian material and manuscript culture, a role partly achieved at the expense of the diminishing symbolic importance of the late antique christograms. It also analyses the appearance of new cruciform devices in the ninth century as well as the adaptation of the early Byzantine tradition of cruciform invocational monograms in Carolingian manuscript culture, as exemplified in the Bible of San Paolo fuori le mura and several other religious manuscripts. The final section examines some Carolingian carmina figurata and, most importantly, Hrabanus Maurus’ In honorem sanctae crucis, as a window into Carolingian graphicacy and the paramount importance of the sign of the cross as its ultimate organizing principle.

Abstract Missional hermeneutics is a relatively recent development in the field of biblical hermeneutics, emerging from several decades of scholarly engagement with the concept and frame of missio Dei. In a key recent publication in the field, Reading the Bible Missionally, edited by Michael Goheen, the voices of the Global South and of women – and certainly of women from Oceania – do not feature. In this article the authors, both Oceanic women, interrupt the discourse to read biblical text from their twice-under perspective. The Beatitudes provide the frame and the lens for a spiralling discussion of the missio Dei as, to borrow from Letty M. Russell, “calculated inefficiency.” Stories of faithful Oceanic women interweave with those of God and of biblical women, offering their complexities to challenge assumptions and simplicities.

Intertextual Dialogue

Abstract This article investigates biblical reception in the works of two popular modern fantasy authors. It stages an intertextual dialogue between Genesis 22:1-19, “the binding of Isaac”, and two episodes, in Stephen King’s The Gunslinger and J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Return of the King. After presenting the dynamics of what happens to the biblical text in these two authors and the perspectives that come out, a hermeneutical reversal is then suggested, in which the modern stories are used to probe the biblical text. One can return to the Bible with questions culled from its later reception, in this case King and Tolkien. This article argues that the themes touched upon by the two authors are important and hermeneutically relevant ones, sometimes novel and sometimes contributions to exegetical debates that have been going on for centuries.

This paper concerns the comparison of three twelfth-century biblical manuscripts from Plock, namely the so-called The Bible of Plock and The Evangeliary of Princess Anastasia with two Mosan biblical manuscripts: The Evangeliary of Averbode and the Biblia Universa transcribed in the same period. The first three texts: Beatissimo Papae Damaso (Novum opus), Prologus quatuor evangeliorum (Plures fuisse) and Iheronimus Damaso Pape (Sciendum etiam) – the last one is not included in the Bible of Plock - and Evangeliary of Princess Anastasia are of St. Jerome. In contrast, the introductions to the Synoptic Gospels: Argumentum secundum Matheum, Prologus in Marco and Prologus sancti Evangelii secundum Lucam are not the texts of St. Jerome, as is sometimes mistakenly repeated by different scholars, but were written by Sedulius Scottus, an Irish monk and a poet who lived and worked in a school in Leodium in the ninth century, whereas the introduction to the Gospel according to St. John: Prephatio in Evangelium secundum Iohannem was written by Bede the Venerable. While the texts of Jerome were quite commonly used in medieval biblical manuscripts, the fact that the introductions to the Synoptic Gospels are written by Sedulius Scottus and are present in both The Bible of Plock as well as partially in The Evangeliary of Princess Anastasia is a very strong argument for the Mosan origin of the twelfth century biblical manuscripts of Płock. The comparative analysis of the texts themselves clearly leads to several important conclusions. First, the Bible of Plock and Evangeliary of Princess Anastasia are closer to the version of the text preserved in the Biblia Universa, a codex written in the monastery of Sancti Trudonis, than to the Evangeliary of Averbode. It follows that the sources for the biblical manuscripts of Plock from the twelfth century should be searched at Mosan Benedictine monasteries, perhaps in the very monastery Sancti Trudonis near Liège. Second, the Gospel according to St. Mark generally follows the version of the text preserved in the Biblia Universa and the Bible of Plock but not all the time. It should therefore be hoped that the further comparative studies, especially of the version of the biblical text, will confirm this relationship and will help to determine whether the codex was written in the Meuse River region or is it a copy of the Bible of Plock made on the spot. Thirdly, and this is an extremely interesting proposal, the Evangeliary of Princess Anastasia, not counting minor changes made by a copyist like converting - tium to - cium, is very much dependent on the Bible of Plock. If, as it is confirmed by records of the miracles, the Bible was already in Plock in 1148 or before that date, it is very likely that the Evangeliary of Princess Anastasia, would be a copy of the text made on the spot in a local Plock scriptorium as a foundation of Boleslaw Kedzierzawy and a votive offering for the salvation of his deceased wife Anastasia. The codex would therefore arise after her death, dating back to the year 1158 in Plock in the time of Bishop Werner and would not have been brought by him following his trip to Aachen. These conclusions, for obvious reasons, are only preliminary, as comparison of the texts is not fully detailed and more comprehensive conclusions will be presented only after benchmarking a version of the biblical text of the four Gospels.

Structural Differences

A close analysis of the text of Gen. 2:8–15, pertaining to the Garden of Eden, shows the structural differences between said text and others from ancient mythologies that mention or describe a paradise. Likewise, that analysis suggests that the data provided by the Bible to locate paradise are merely a narrative device meant to dissipate all doubts as to the existence of a garden where God put human beings. Similar to other spaces that appear in the Bible, the Garden of Eden is, in fact, an impossible place. Throughout the centuries, however, recurring proposals have been made to locate paradise. As time went by, those proposals were progressively modified by the intellectual ideas dominant in any given era, thus leading the representations of the location of Paradise to be further and further away from the information provided by the biblical text.

The Cross

The cross-section of Hydraulic engineering (river, embankment) is a kind of cross section which is always perpendicular to the river direction. Section line is a straight line which is created by connecting two endpoint of the section. Cross-section measurements is that collecting a coordinate point (X, Y, H) on the section line every a certain distance. Field measurement, due to the influence of the external environment, especially when measured in the river, is difficult to ensure that the location of the measurement point exactly on the straight line shown in the section. The reason is that tracking ship traveling along with the section will be impacted by the water, resulting in the offset along the flow direction. Therefore we must to constantly adjust the direction of travel in the measurement process. For which the measurement data should be processed. So it is necessary to deal with the measurement data, and the idea of visual data was proposed in the paper, which is easier to analyze the accuracy of the measurement data. The BUFFER analysis method was used in the data processing, which effectively removed measurement invalid point that far away from the cross-section in measurement and improved the accuracy of the cross-section data processing. On the other hand, the effective pedal point coordinates was used in the calculation of the plane location of cross-section point. The coordinate which can make the cross-section data more realistic and different from the translation of point and uniform distribution algorithm closeted to the effective point of measurement. The method that the elevation of pedal point on the cross section calculated using the distance weighted interpolation method has been applied in the measurement process of several rivers. It is proved in practice that the method got good results and achieved the accuracy of the data and quality which the application sector requirements on.

‘From some modern perspectives’, wrote James Belich, a leading historian of New Zealand, in 1996, ‘the evangelicals are hard to like. They dressed like crows; seemed joyless, humourless and sometimes hypocritical; [and] they embalmed the evidence poor historians need to read in tedious preaching’. Similar views have often been expressed in the historiography of Evangelical Protestantism, the subject of this essay. It will cover such disapproving appraisals of the Evangelical past, but because a high proportion of the writing about the movement was by insiders it will have more to say about studies by Evangelicals of their own history. Evangelicals are taken to be those who have placed particular stress on the value of the Bible, the doctrine of the cross, an experience of conversion and a responsibility for activism. They were to be found in the Church of England and its sister provinces of the Anglican communion, forming an Evangelical party that rivalled the high church and broad church tendencies, and also in the denominations that stemmed from Nonconformity in England and Wales, as well as in the Protestant churches of Scotland. Evangelicals were strong, often overwhelmingly so, within Methodism and Congregationalism and among the Baptists and the Presbyterians. Some bodies that arose later on, including the (so-called Plymouth) Brethren, the Churches of Christ and the Pentecostals (the last two primarily American in origin), joined the Evangelical coalition.

Abstract Since the 1960s, started by Lynn White, Christianity has begun to get attacks because it is considered to have triggered ecological damage. Christianity through the teachings of the Bible is accused of legitimizing absolute anthropocentric ideas which then give rise to expansive actions to the environment and nature. In the midst of the massive damage to the environment and in order to fi nd a possible solution to this problem, it is felt necessary to resonance the new approach to the Scriptures that further explores the sound of the earth. One approach that can be developed is ecological hermeneutics. Based on several principles it is possible to see and understand the biblical text from the perspective of the earth. In addittion, this approach will be elaborated with local wisdom so that it can help the text contextualization process. In the end, a new paradigm is expected to encourage awareness of the importance to tend the universe.   Abstrak Sejak tahun 1960an, dimulai oleh Lynn White, Kekristenan mulai mendapat serangan karena dinilai telah menjadi pemicu kerusakan ekologi. Kekristenan melalui ajaran Alkitab dituduh melegitimasi gagasan-gagasan antroposentris absolut yang kemudian melahirkan tinndakan- tindakan ekspansif terhadap lingkungan dan alam. Di tengah masifnya kerusakan lingkungan dan dalam rangka mencari kemungkinan jalan keluar dari persoalan ini, dirasa perlu untuk menggemakan pendekatan baru pada Kitab Suci yang lebih mengeksplorasi suara bumi. Salah satu pendekatan yang bisa dikembangkan adalah hermeneutik ekologi. Berdasarkan beberapa prinsip-prinsipnya memungkinkan untuk melihat dan memahami teks Alkitab dari perspektif bumi. Selain itu, pendekatan ini akan dielaborasi dengan local widom agar membantu proses kontekstualisasi teks. Pada akhirnya diharapkan sebuah paradigma baru yang mendorong kesadaran akan pentingnya merawat alam semesta.

Abstract In changing our focus to examine the children and the childhoods of the characters in the Bible we can gain new insights into the biblical text. This essay applies childist interpretation to a question that has long puzzled scholars: What did Moses mean when he said: “I am heavy (כבד) of speech and heavy (כבד) of tongue” (Exod 4:10). Scholars have suggested it meant Moses had a speech impediment or that he lost his ability to speak Egyptian eloquently during his years in Midian. I suggest, however, that these previous answers have overlooked a crucial stage in Moses’ development: his childhood. Moses’ unique childhood and transition from Hebrew slave child to adopted Egyptian prince creates within him a hybrid identity. His hybrid identity, in turn, manifested itself in Hebrew language attrition, which causes him to protest that he is “heavy of speech and tongue.”
