Firman Allah dalam Kitab Pengkotbah berkata: "Ia membuat segala sesuatu indah pada waktunya, bahkan Ia memberikan kekekalan dalam hati mereka. Tetapi manusia tidak dapat menyelami pekerjaan yang dilakukan Allah dari awal sampai akhir."(Pengkhotbah 3:11 TB) Pengetahuan manusia terbatas, hanya Tuhan yang mengetahui segala sesuatu. Oleh sebab itu kita harus menyadari keterbatasan kita, dan meyakini bahwa Tuhan mempunyai berbagai macam metode dalam mengatur dan membuat segala sesuatu indah pada masanya. Tidak ada yang menduga akan terjadi pandemi Covid-19. Seluruh dunia mengalami akibatnya. Bahkan diperkirakan akan ada pandemi yang lebih berat dimasa yang akan datang. Itu sebabnya pemerintah berupaya mempersiapkan lahan pertanian untuk mengantisipasi krisis pangan. Firman Tuhan di dalam Kitab Yesaya berkata, "Sebab rancangan-Ku bukanlah rancanganmu, dan jalanmu bukanlah jalan-Ku, demikianlah firman Tuhan."(Yesaya 55:8 TB) Manusia bisa menyusun berbagai rencana, akan tet...

Book Review Eric Daryl Meyer’s book, “Inner Animalities: Theology and the End of the Human” raises the ambiguous question of human animality. He aims to both reveal the flaws of anthropological exceptionalism and show that it does not have to be an integral part of Christian theology. Moreover, in his book, Meyer intends to expand the boundaries of his discussion of human animality to a broader context, namely to reflect upon people’s inability to withstand ecological degradation. In other words, Meyer is interested not only in Christian theology but also in such important issues as ecology. In this regard, he uses human animality to design a new understanding of ecological theology. Meyer’s theological explorations emerge from the idea of human uniqueness, which is deeply grounded in Western culture. People believe in their specialness, which results in such a distinctive feature of Christian ideology as “a categorical distinction between human beings and all other animals(1)” and pl...

Higher education is no exception. Teachers are encouraged to engage emerging technologies and devices in the practice of their teaching with the hope of advancing student learning.
