It is undeniable that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has the potential to create chaos in relations between Christians and Muslims at the grassroots level. The perspective from a religious point of view often complicates the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It must be realized, however, that from a religious perspective there is a meeting point between Islam and Christianity so as  to prevent conflict among  religious communities. The meeting point of the Islamic and Christian viewpoints can be based on the story of the exodus or the release of the Israelites or the Hebrews from slavery in the land of Egypt which is written in the Bible and the Koran. Exodus (the liberation of the people of Israel from slavery in Egypt)   can be a meeting point for Christians and Muslims in Indonesia to establish a dialogue that respects and appreciates each other in good relations between the two religious communities, and further provides an understanding that religious perspectives can be combined with the principles of international relations to achieve peace between Israel and Palestine within the framework of a two-state solution as championed by the Indonesian government internationally.

Islam entered the island of Java with the condition that the people already have traditions. One of the traditions that still exist today is Kungkum Purnama in Kalicawang, Banjarpanepen Sumpiuh Village, Banyumas District. The Kungkum Purnama tradition is carried out every year in the month of Sha’ban as a form of welcoming the month of Ramadan for Muslims. The implementation of the Kungkum Purnama tradition is followed by village communities who are not only Muslim, but also those who are non-Muslim or religious. It cannot be denied that the Muslim millennial generation is one of the heirs to tradition. This study aims to describe the response of the Muslim millennial generation to the kungkum purnama tradition. In practice, researchers used qualitative research methods of field research type. Data were collected by means of observation, interviews and documentation. The analysis was carried out by collecting data, reducing data, presenting data, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that the Kungkum Purnama tradition is a form of acculturation of Islam with Banyumasan culture, which contains social and religious values, namely Islamic syiar, to welcome Ramadan, friendship, and clean oneself. The response of the Muslim millennial generation shows their view of the kungkum purnama tradition. From a religious perspective, the practice of the kungkum purnama tradition on the other hand contains teachings that are contrary to Islamic teachings. From a cultural point of view, the kungkum purnama tradition is a local tradition and a tourist attraction that needs to be preserved. From a social point of view, the kungkum purnama tradition contains the values of cooperation, mutual cooperation, and togetherness

Restrictive Policy

The subject of the paper is the issue of restrictions on religious freedom during the COVID-19 pandemic imposed by European countries. The period under examination covers the interval from March to December 2020. The issue is analyzed from the point of view of respecting human rights in a situation of conflict between the values of public health and religious freedom. In this context, the perception of importance and urgency regarding the values that should be protected and the concept of “essential goods”, which are understood differently in secular and religious perspectives, are of particular importance. Another essential issue is not only the scope but also the “depth” of state intervention in the life of religious communities. In Europe, there was a wide variety of national approaches to restricting religious freedom in order to ensure public health. Some of them pursued a very restrictive policy in this area, others moderate, and others very soft. One also could observe the difference in decisions made by most countries during the first and the second waves of the pandemic. A significant element enabling a possible evaluation of the applied solutions is the matter of their duration. Are the introduced limitations only temporary, implemented due to the extraordinary situation, or should they be view as a part of a “radical political experiment”, as a result of which the very understanding of religious freedom and its place in the hierarchy of human rights will change. The arguments of a philosophical, theological, legal and sociological nature are analyzed issuing methods appropriate to each of these disciplines.

The article raises the issue of the importance of Ukrainian studies by Ivan Ogienko, as a representative of the Ukrainian intellectual elite in emigration, because his works influenced the progress of cultural, educational and spiritual life of Ukrainians both in our country and abroad. It is known that he is one of the founders of Ukrainian science and education and an outstanding Ukrainian educator of the twentieth century. The role of preserving national identity, spiritual values, patriotism of the outstanding scientist, teacher, linguist, culturologist, public and church figure, Ivan Ogienko, through the prism of hard work, incredible diligence, stability and consistency in scientific research is emphasized. Attention is focused on the fact that the Ukrainian scientist was the bearer of national and cultural ideas and spiritual values of his people. The opinion is confirmed that the world recognition of I. Ogienko / Metropolitan Ilarion was brought by fundamental works on the history of Ukrainian culture, language, history of the church, which have not lost their scientific significance even today. The scientist-researcher made dictionaries, headed the Ministry of Education of the Ukrainian People's Republic, and being in emigration – headed the Ukrainian autocephalous Orthodox Church. It is worth mentioning the most common and used translation of the Bible into Ukrainian, on which Ivan Ogienko worked for more than 45 years. The article analyzes I. Ogienko's scientific achievements during the emigration, which significantly strengthened Ukrainian studies, and also considers the works "Pre-Christian Beliefs of the Ukrainian People", "Ukrainian Culture", "Serve the People - Serve God: Theological Studio" and others. The book "Our Life Abroad: Ideological and Historical Essays" by Ivan Ogienko, published in Winnipeg (Canada), where the author spoke about the difficult life of Ukrainian emigrants abroad, deserves attention and listening. I. Ogienko describes how important it is to preserve one's national identity, culture and native language in a foreign country. It is concluded that national culture has great potential for the establishment of Ukraine in the world cultural space, and the life and scientific and educational work of Ivan Ogienko became an example for many researchers in studying the socio-cultural heritage of the Ukrainian diaspora.

Definition Of

Jeremiah 23:9�40 is a section of the Bible that is dedicated to the issue of true and false prophets. This section follows the cycle of the kings in Jeremiah 21:1�23:8. Both these cycles form part of an editorial unit 21:1�24:10. The kings and the prophets, along with the priests constituted the leadership in Israelite society. The view presented in 21:1�23:40 is that of a failed leadership and the result was the Babylonian exile. In this article the focus is on the prophets who are regarded as false. Jeremiah 23:9�40 is a collection of oracles ascribed to Jeremiah by tradition. In most instances the oracles are of a general nature and lack contextual concreteness. The literary context created by the compilers of 21:1�23:40 is essential to the argument presented in this article. According to Jeremiah 23:32 the false prophets �� do not profit the people at all� (New Revised Standard Version of the Bible [NRSV]). The line of reasoning in this article will be that, as religious leaders, prophets should benefit the people. In the context of 21:1�23:40 they had failed to do this. If the prophets had been in proper communication with Yahweh, they would not have misled the people. From the point of view of the collectors, most probably in an exilic context, the message is clear: the prophets have failed the people, the exile is a reality, and there is no longer any room for false prophets. Jeremiah 23:25�32 makes it clear that, if prophetic words do not profit Yahweh�s people, they should be regarded as false and misleading.The passage for discussion in this article is Jeremiah 23:25�32. The very last sentence in this passage (v. 32) seems to be the culminating point of the complaint against the opposing prophets: �so they do not profit this people at all�. The purpose of this article is to address this issue of prophets benefiting the ordinary people. From this final sentence one can conclude that one of the marks of a true prophet is that ordinary people should benefit from his performance as a prophet. The question will be, �What can a prophet contribute to society that will benefit the people?� If we ask this question in the current context, the highlighting of the negative aspect of the prophets will guide us to what the expectation of the writer (prophet) was. Prophets, according to the classical definition of their function, are supposed to communicate to people the messages they receive from Yahweh (Redditt 2008:6; cf. also Blenkinsopp 1996:28�30).1 In verse 28 of the passage under discussion Yahweh says: �� let the one who has my word speak my word faithfully� (NRSV). The role of the prophets is to act as channels of communication between Yahweh and the people. Yahweh sends his messages to his covenant people through the prophets he has commissioned for this purpose.

The subject is the Bible, and its relation to the Church. Hence I shall not attempt to deal with the so-called Bible Difficulties, or with the Higher Criticism, or to develop a theory of Inspiration. I must try to give a line about the general interpretation of the Bible, as being God's Book and truly inspired, written in the Church and for the Church's use; and as written by men, because it has been God's method to reveal Himself through men. It was written by men, and tells a story which is real history; therefore we must have thorough critical investigation of the Bible. It is God's Book because it tells the story of God's saving Purpose, worked out in the history of the believing and worshipping People of God, Israel, His chosen nation. Because this story is true, we have nothing to fear from the Higher Criticism. If that Criticism has been at fault, as it often has been, it is because it has often failed to see the record, as it needs to be seen, from the point of view of believing and worshipping Israel.For the Church is the People of God, God's Israel. As such, it has existed not for some 1900 years only, but for more than 3000 years, since the day when the Lord God redeemed it out of Egypt and made His Covenant with it.

The crisis dramatically resulting from the sudden pandemic for Covid-19 had immediate and long-term consequences. From a religious point of view, what were the answers? The civil and ecclesial community of Biancavilla country is unique in the Etna province and in Valdemone, since it is the only one of Arbëreshë origin, although now Latinized, arrived and finally settled at the foot of Etna, after the exile following the fall of Byzantium. The exiles brought with them an icon of the Mary of almsgiving, which is to some extent at the origin of the foundation of the town. The local historical, social and religious history is linked to the cult, first Byzantine, then Latin, of the Virgin of Mercy, and its icon. The people of Biancavilla country have always devoted their devotion to it, especially on the occasion of wars, famines, plagues, obtaining, according to the faith of the people, the favor of the Virgin, despite the fact that neighboring communities were equally affected. We want to report the “case” of the Biancavilla community, which faced the health emergency caused by Covid-19, also from a religious point of view with a constant, broad, varied commitment, not only liturgical or devotional, but also educational. Expressing once again its Christian faith in devotion to the Virgin of Alms, her patron. While the commitment of the clergy to a constant liturgical and pastoral activity has not been lacking, the faithful also maintained the oratorio and educational activities through the use of the internet, using all the communication channels available, with positive results also with respect to other civil and religious communities, during the long period of isolation, keeping personal and community relationships alive. The biancavillese marian devotion therefore permeated and acted as an agglutinant of the overall estate of the small town of Biancavilla.

Harmony between the people of religion in Indonesia is not only the responsibility of the government, but it is also the responsibility of all Indonesians to maintain the integrity of the nation by building an attitude of tolerance and tolerance, and harmony among the people themselves. This also applies to Christians in Indonesia, to take part and be active in building harmony between religious communities. The Bible, especially Romans 14: 1-4 provides a good example for Christians to respect and respect one another, and not to humiliate and judge one another, so that inter-religious harmony can be maintained properly. And this is the model of religious moderation that Christian scriptures uphold. This research was written using a descriptive qualitative method using journal and book sources as the main reference. The discussion was carried out by explaining the concept of harmony of religious communities in Indonesia, then briefly describing the concept from a Christian perspective. The analysis, which is a deconstruction, is specifically directed at Romans 14: 1-4 which is in the spirit of harmony both internally and among religious communities within the framework of moderation in Indonesia. Opportunities and challenges according to Indonesian conditions are discussed at the end. The conclusion is that religious harmony according to Romans 14: 1-4, stimulates Christians to further increase religious moderation in Indonesia, which, although different in terms of ethnicity, ethnicity, religion, and RAS, is tolerant and accepts others as they are, makes it less difficult for Christians to judge and humiliate others.

The various Arabic translations of the Bible, Rabbinic, Karaite, Samaritan and Christian, are a vivid witness to the fact that the Bible has remained firmly roots to the civilization of the Middle East. These religious communities, with the exception of the Karaites, lived before the advent of Islam in the 7th century and continued all to exist until the present day. These religious communities called by Islamic law the people of the book, had gradually been arabicized by the end of the 11th century. The Samaritans had been speaking and writing Arabic without interruption for about a dozen of centuries. Their Arabic version of the Pentateuch is undoubtedly an important source for a better understanding of their concepts and beliefs, of their medieval exegesis and of their Aramaic and Arabic dialects.

The relationship between literature and religion is still most often confined to the Judaeo-Christian tradition, and it is used to recommend the analysis of the bible as literature and religious aspect of literary works. This paper aims at exploring the possibility that literature could be an alternative means to do comparative studies of certain religious aspects from different religion. It focuses on the name and the significance of the name of Pearl in Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter which alludes to the Bible. This paper however will examine the name from different angle; that is from an Islamic point of view, for the purpose of a comparison. Pearl is also mentioned in Al-Qur’an and some Hadiths; therefore they will be the main sources to analyze the view on pearl. The result is that The Scarlet Letter shows the vivid image of Pearl in Islam. Pearls in Islam have both worldly and spiritual significance with their special characteristics such as being natural, beautiful, pure, invaluable and demanding great price and effort to gain them. Relating to the character of Pearl in The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne depicts Pearl as having such characteristics .
