Suara dari Ufuk Timur

Merayakan ’Sang Liyan’
Sudah lama teologi Kristen bergulat dengan ketidakcerdasan sosial-kultural menghidupi konteks pluralisme religius-kultural. Sikap buta, memusuhi konteks dan mengeras dengan identitas kolonial sangat kuat dalam praksis ber-teologi, eklesiologi dan misiologi. Ini adalah bunuh diri teologis. Mengapa demikian? Berteologi kontekstual tidak akan pernah relevan dan mencapai tahap fungsional jika wawasan-wawasan yang ada di dalam konteks sudah dihakimi. Sikap mengeras dengan paradigma lama juga bentuk dari ideologi panik anti konteks yang payah dan kadaluwarsa. Di sinilah, merayakan ‘Sang Liyan’ adalah sebuah interupsi tentang makna keberlainan. ‘Sang Liyan’ menggambarkan paradoks makna ‘s...

Once in a Promised Land
They say there was or there wasn't in olden times a story as old as life, as young as this moment, a story that is yours and is mine. Once in a Promised Land is the story of Jassim and Salwa, who left the deserts of their native Jordan for those of Arizona, each chasing mirages of opportunity and freedom. Although the couple live far from Ground Zero, they cannot escape the dust cloud of paranoia settling over the nation. A hydrologist, Jassim believes passionately in his mission to make water accessible to all people, but his work is threatened by an FBI witch hunt for domestic terrorists. A Palestinian now twice displaced, Salwa embraces the American dream. She grapples to put down roots in an unwelcoming climate, becoming pregnant against her husband's wishes. When Jassim kills a teenage boy in a terrible accident and Salwa becomes hopelessly entangled with a shadowy young American, their tenuous lives in exile and their fragile marriage begin to unravel. Once in a Promised Land is a dramatic and achingly honest look at what it means to straddle cultures, to be viewed with suspicion, and to struggle to find safe haven.
Blogosphere
Examining the web logs, or blogs, of individuals from a variety of continents and cultures, this book highlights the nature of 'blogosphere, ' the virtual public arena of the early 21st century, which alters the traditional world of media and politics. It characterizes this new arena by the unique combination of a fresh voice of emancipation and a deep sense of melancholy and isolationism. This journey through blogosphere highlights major forces operating in today's politics: apathy toward political affairs, resistance to globalization, a quest for redemption through religious fundamentalism and terrorism. Michael Keren compares bloggers to terrorists, arguing that while the methods advocated by the two groups are obviously very different, they both represent a similar trend, one of diversion by respected but disenchanted citizens from the norms of civil society to a fantasy world in which the excessive use of words_or bombs_would make everybody listen
