This collection of essays begins with the premise that violence, in its relationship to order, is a central element of history. Taking a broad definition of violence, including structural and symbolic violence, the contributions move beyond the problematic of civilization’s mitigating or foundational role, instead seeing violence as inherently social, and, perhaps, socially inherent (if variable).

Buku ini berbicara mengenai Injil Yohanes dengan membawakannya kepada aplikasi kehidupan sehari-hari yang dapat dipraktekkan oleh pembaca. Banyak orang Kristen tidak membaca Alkitab secara teratur. Salah satu sebabnya karena mereka agak kesulitan menemukan cara untuk mengaplikasikannya ke dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Yohanes 10: 10 mengatakan: 10.

Benarlah perkataan Firman Tuhan di atas bahwa tugas utama iblis dan roh jahat adalah untuk mencuri, mencuri apa? Firman Tuhan.

Injil yang diberitakan akan selalu berhadapan dengan manusia yang ada dalam konteks kebudayaan tertentu. Misalnya penginjilan yang dilakukan terhadap suku Boti, Injil akan hadir dan menyapa suku Boti dalam konteks kebudayaannya. Injil tidak bisa vakum secara kultural dalam konteks masyarakat tertentu.

Penerapan penginjilan yang dilakukan oleh seorang penginjil penting untuk mengkomunikasikan Injil secara interkultural. Pendekatan interkultural sebagai upaya untuk menjelaskan Injil dalam konteks budaya yang dipahami dalam sebuah konteks di mana aksi penginjilan dilakukan. Pedekatan interkultural sebagai pendekatan aplikatif yang tidak memarginalkan budaya sebuah konteks. Melalui budaya yang dipahami dan dilakukan Injil hadir untuk menyapa suku Boti, sehingga mereka mendengar dan memahami Injil dalam konteks kebudayaan halaika.
The story of the Bible starts with the simple statement, "In the beginning, God created . . ." From that first sentence of Genesis, the story of salvation unfolds in strange and wonderful mingling of the commonplace and the miraculous, the human and the transcendent. But if you were born after the baby boom, chances are the Bible seems more like an item of passing interest than a book of depth and meaning for the twenty-first century. If you're not familiar with the Bible, it can be difficult to put into perspective the puzzle of kings and prophets, giants and seven-headed dragons, shepherd boys and itinerant preachers, Old Testament law and New Testament grace. Meet the Bible introduces you...

The author describes Rindi culture within an analytic framework that illustrates connexions between, and common principles among, often apparently disparate realms of thought and action. The book contains chapters on the house; the village and the domain (an aggregate of villages); space and cosmos; religion (the notions "hamangu" and "ndewa"; divinity and the ancestors; the powers of the earth); the cycle of life and death; social order (class stratification; the division of authority; descent groups) and the system of asymmetric prescriptive alliance by which it is governed; marriage prestations and the various ways of contracting a marriage. The study is based on 22 months of fieldwork.
