As a pastor from Pasundan Christian Church, I never thought that I would be able to write a dissertation and earn a Ph.D degree. However, the opportunity for this arose when the Faculty of Theology of Duta Wacana Christian University in Yogyakarta asked the Pasundan Christian Church to allow me to teach at the University and to study for my Ph.D. at the VU University Amsterdam. It has been a long and challenging journey, and without the support, patience and guidance of many people, this dissertation would not have been completed. First of all, I am deeply grateful to Prof. Dr. Martien Brinkman, my supervisor (promotor) at the VU University Amsterdam for his invaluable support, patience, encouragement, suggestions, and comments. He has supported me ever since I applied to the Faculty of Theology at the VU University in the Research

Penelitian literer ini tergolong sebagai penelitian studi tokoh yang mengkaji pemikiran Baqir Al-Sadr tentang konsep distribusi.Hasil temuan menyatakan bahwa pemikiran Baqir Al-Sadr bertolak belakang dengan pemikiran ekonomi kapitalis. Pemikir ekonomi konvensional berpendapat bahwa masalah ekonomi muncul akibat kelangkaan sumber daya dibandingkan dengan kebutuhan manusia yang tidak terbatas. Namun Baqir Al-Sadr berpendapat bahwa masalah ekonomi muncul karena ketidakmerataan distribusi. Keadilan distribusi dalam konteks zakat sangat relevan. Relevansi distribusi kekayaan adalah praktik dari sistem zakat melalui BAZ dan LAZ. Kehadiran BAZ dan LAZ tidak dapat berperan maksimal untuk merubah posisi mustahik-muzakki jika negara tidak ikut hadir. Kehadiran negara memiliki peran penting dalam menciptakan dan menjaga keadilan sosial. Pemikiran Baqir Al-Sadr tersebut tertuang dalam karya monumental Iqtisaduna yang membahas mengenai teori produksi dan distribusi. Kata Kunci: Distribusi; Ekonomi Islam; Muhammad Baqir Al-Sadr.

  • The Vulnerability of Mission
    THE VULNERABILITY OF MISSION A lecture delivered on 30 November 1991 to mark the 25th Anniversary of Si Andrew's Hall, SeUy Oak, and reprinted with permission. THE STORY OF FR RODRIGUES One of the most moving and at the same time disturbing novels of our time is Silence, by the Japanese author, Shusaku Endo. It is based on the seventeenth-century persecution of Christians in Japan. In 1549 Francis Xavier arrived in Japan and started a missionary venture that was astonishingly successful. Within thirty years there was a flourishing community of some 150,000 Christians, whose sterling qUalities and deep faith inspired in the missionaries the vision of a totally Christian country.l It was Japan's Christian Century.2 Towards the end of the sixteenth century, however, opposition began to set in, culminating in the edict of expUlsion of the missionaries in 1614. The purpose of the edict was the total eradication of Christianity from Japan. Some missionaries went underground, desperately trying to continue ministering to their Japanese converts. C. R. Boxer claims that the gruesome persecution that followed has been 'unsurpassed in the long and painful history of martyrdom', both as regards the infamous brutality of methods used to exterminate the Christians and the heroic constancy of the sufferers.3 Those who were not executed were given the opportunity to apostatise. Often this took the form of placing the fumie before would-be apostates - a bronze image of Christ mounted in a wooden frame. All that was expected of them was to trample on Christ's face, which would then be taken as proof of their having renounced the Christian faith.

  • An Earthly Cosmology
    Forum on Religion and Ecology Indigenous Traditions and Ecology Annotated Bibliography Abram, David. Becoming Animal: An Earthly Cosmology. New York and Canada: Vintage Books, 2011. As the climate veers toward catastrophe, the innumerable losses cascading through the biosphere make vividly evident the need for a metamorphosis in our relation to the living land. For too long we’ve ignored the wild intelligence of our bodies, taking our primary truths from technologies that hold the living world at a distance. Abram’s writing subverts this distance, drawing readers ever closer to their animal senses in order to explore, from within, the elemental kinship between the human body and the breathing Earth. The shape-shifting of ravens, the erotic nature of gravity, the eloquence of thunder, the pleasures of being edible: all have their place in this book. --------. The Spell of the Sensuous: Perception and Language in a More-than-Human World. New York: Vintage, 1997. Abram argues that “we are human only in contact, and conviviality, with what is not human” (p. ix). He supports this premise with empirical information, sensorial experience, philosophical reflection, and the theoretical discipline of phenomenology and draws on Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy of perception as reciprocal exchange in order to illuminate the sensuous nature of language. Additionally, he explores how Western civilization has lost this perception and provides examples of cultures in which the “landscape of language” has not been forgotten. The environmental crisis is central to Abram’s purpose and despite his critique of the consequences of a written culture, he maintains the importance of literacy and encourages the release of its true potency.

  • The Use of Nsm and Cultural Scripts Theory in Explicating the Category of Marapu: a Traditional Animist Belief of Sumbanese
    Proceedings the 5th International Conferences on Cultural Studies, Udayana University Towards the Development of Trans-Disciplinary Research Collaboration in the Era of Global Disruption Thursday August 29th, 2019 THE USE OF NSM AND CULTURAL SCRIPTS THEORY IN EXPLICATING THE CATEGORY OF MARAPU: A TRADITIONAL ANIMIST BELIEF OF SUMBANESE Yunita Reny Bani Bili ; Gracia M.N. Otta Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris – Universitas Nusa Cendana [email protected] , [email protected] ABSTRACT As the followers of Marapu keep on believing that the source of life comes from this god, they realized that Marapu has several categories according to its function. Due to the divisions of marapu, this research explains the meaning of each category and explicated them clearly to the cultural outsiders by using the theory of cultural scripts proposed by Anna Wierzbicka, particularly natural semantic metalanguage method. Several categories were analyzed as the sample of the research, namely High Deity, the spirit of ancestor, the spirit of death, the spirit of plant and animal magical power. The result shows that each category of the Marapu has its own main roles and meaning. High deity, for example, is regarded as the creator of everything and the protector. The spirit of the ancestor, on the other hand, plays a role as the mediator between human and the highest god. The spirit of the death only functions as the companion and the keeper of the land, while the spirit of the plant and animal’s magical power functions as the mediator between Marapu and the men. Keywords: Marapu, Cultural scripts, Belief, NSM, Animist INTRODUCTION It is undeniable that each speech community has its own specific culture.

  • The Meaning and Characteristics of Islam in the Qur'an
    International Journal of Psychosocial Rehabilitation, Vol. 24, Issue . 01, 2020 ISSN: 1475 – 7192. The Meaning And Characteristics Of Islam In The Qur'an Baharuddin Husin1, Supriyatin, SY2, Zaimudin3, Imron Zabidi4 Abstract--- Islam contain the meaning of submissiveness and total surrender to Allah SWT and to all His rules that have been revealed to His chosen Prophet, Muhammad (PBUH). Islam is a religion of nature, because Islam is something that is inherent in human beings and has been brought from birth through the nature of Allah’s creation, means that humans from the beginning have a religious instinct of monotheism (tawheed). Islam in accordance with its characteristics, is like a perfect building with a strong foundation of faith and pillar joints in the form of worship to Allah SWT and beautified with noble morals. While the regulations in the Shari'ah function to strengthen the building. While true da'wah and jihad are the fences which guard against the damage done by the enemies of Islam. Islam pays attention to worldly and ukhrawi balance. Islam describes a wholeness and unity in all aspects. Paying attention to peace, optimism in achieving happiness in life, managing personal life, family, society, country and the world as a whole. Set all the creations of Allah SWT in this nature to return to His law. Islam is the eternal religion of Allah SWT that was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). All previous celestial teachings are the unity of the divine teaching in various forms which are constantly updated in accordance with the development of the times, the world, humans, and the demands of preaching at that time.
