Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui upaya komunikasi pemasaran yang dapat menembus pasar lansia, dimana akibat degenerasi para lansia sulit untuk melakukan komunikasi namun tentunya masih memiliki kebutuhan pribadi yang perlu dipenuhi. Salah satu kebutuhan dari lansia adalah protesa gigi untuk membantu para lansia mengkonsumsi makanan sehari-hari. Di kota Surabaya terdapat jasa tukang gigi Hoe Sioe Shen yang telah melayani jasa pembuatan protesa gigi selama 76 tahun. Penelitian ini dilakukan menggunakan metode studi kasus yang menjabarkan komunikasi pemasaran yang dilakukan oleh Hoe Sioe Shen. Hasil penelitian ini menyatakan bahwa komponen promotional mix primer atau yang paling efektif pada perusahaan Hoe Sioe Shen adalah word of mouth (WOM), personal selling, dan sales promotion yang didukung dengan komponen lainnya dalam menjalankan komponen primer yaitu public relations. Namun Hoe Sioe Shen tidak melakukan beberapa komponen seperti advertising, online marketing, dan direct marketing walaupun terdapat peluang untuk dilakukan.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana gaya komunikasi Christofer Tapiheru dalam membentuk personal branding. Dengan jumlah pengikutnya yang bertambah setiap harinya di media sosial, tentunya ada sesuatu yang menarik dari gaya komunikasi yang ditampilkan dan personal branding yang terbentuk dari gaya komunikasi tersebut. Peneliti akan memfokuskan penelitian kepada personal branding yang terbentuk dari gaya komunikasi yang ditampilkan oleh Christofer Tapiheru. Penelitian ini mengacu pada teori personal branding oleh Montoya dan Vandehey. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian kualitatif. Pengumpulan data yang diperlukan untuk penelitian ini dilakukan dengan teknik observasi, wawancara semi-terstruktur, dan studi dokumen. Narasumber utama dalam penelitian ini adalah Christofer Tapiheru beserta istrinya Lovelia Chandradinata, Yonathan Theofilus sebagai teman Christofer Tapiheru, dan Samuel Simatupang sebagai khalayak Christofer Tapiheru. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, Christofer Tapiheru tidak seperti pendeta pada umumnya, ia tidak menempuh pendidikan resmi di sekolah teologi, dan gaya bahasa yang ia tampilkan adalah gaya bahasa yang mendarat dan santai. Christofer Tapiheru hanya ingin menampilkan dirinya apa adanya dan hal itu benar-benar dapat dilihat oleh khalayaknya. Gaya komunikasi Christofer Tapiheru adalah gaya komunikasi Equalitarian Style, dimana Christofer melihat khalayak nya secara setara dengannya, mengingat bahwa Christofer menganggap khalayaknya sebagai keluarga, dan bukan cuma sekedar penggemar. Gaya komunikasi tersebut membentuk personal branding Christofer Tapiheru sebagai sosok pendeta yang tidak biasa, apa adanya dan sosok yang mudah didekati oleh khalayak.

Exodus is the Latinised form of the Greek word, exodos (going out). Two departures of Moses are reported in the Bible. They are firstl,y his fleeing from Egypt described in Exodus 2:11-22, and secondly, his departure as member of a mass exodus (Ex. 6:2f). The focus in the article will be on the events leading to his initial leaving of Egypt, and his eventual sojourn in the country of Midian (Ex. 2:11-22). However, it will be shown that certain expressions in Ex. 2:11-22 also feature in the later description of the exodus proper (e.g., Exodus 18 and Numbers 20). Furthermore, parallels will be drawn between the narrations of events in Ex. 2:11-22 and the Qur’anic surah 28:14-28. Similarities will be pointed out, but also differences relating to the imbedding, structure, and theology of the respective accounts. Finally, affinities between the Biblical exodus of Moses and the later hijra of Muhammad will be indicated. As source text for Ex. 3:11-22, the Masoretic version (Leningrad manuscript) will be used. In addition, reference will be made to two 13th century Arabic manuscripts (Sinai Arab 2 and 4) where there is a direct correspondence between their readings and those of the 7th century Qur’anic Arabic text (e.g., Ex. 2:17 and surah 28:24).

Why are many churches in Africa inaccessible to persons with disability? This question has informed missiological qualitative research on the accessibility for persons with disability in churches in Ghana. Swinton (2002:29) coins the phrase the “‘forgotten dimension’ of spirituality”, which depicts the way persons with disability have been neglected in the ministry of many churches. Research in Ghana has proven that accessibility for persons with disability in churches is an afterthought reflecting exclusion from youth ministry as well. This article proposes to address the issue of inclusion/exclusion from a missio Dei perspective, challenging youth ministries to take deliberate steps to include persons with disability in their praxis.

This contribution builds upon and contributes to many recent ecumenical calls for an ecological reformation of Christianity. It seeks to guide such calls on the use of the term “ecology” by offering five brief statements in this regard, namely 1) on ecology as a transversal theme; 2) on ecology as an ecumenical theme; 3) on the root metaphor of the “whole household of God”; 4) on Christian doctrinal assumptions on such a household; and 5) on the (ecological) limitations of the metaphor of the whole household of God.

How did geo-politics and history influence the development of biblical scholarship in Latvia in the last one hundred years (1920-present)? This essay explores the three major periods of Latvia’s recent history – the first period of Latvian independence (1920-1940), the Soviet occupation (1940-1990), and the second period of Latvian independence (from 1990 onwards) – and it shows that a constant throughout these three periods is how German scholarship and the historical-critical method have shaped biblical studies in Latvia. The first period of independence was considered the ‘golden age’ of biblical exegesis in contrast with the period of Soviet occupation, when there was a stagnation of biblical scholarship and a disconnect with the progressive scholarly debate in the West, as well as a distorted hermeneutical framework. The revived hope of a robust biblical scholarship in the second period of independence also resurrected the long-standing dispute between the perceived liberal and conservative approaches to biblical studies and theology, and re-established the divide between the Faculty of Theology and other theological institutions. This has weakened the relationship between academic theological education and church life, and limited cooperation and biblical debate between scholars and institutions. Furthermore, long-standing German influence in biblical scholarship has been slowly giving way to a wider international scholarly community. This paper concludes that the future of biblical scholarship in Latvia needs to develop on a national and international level. Scholars and institutions need to learn how to cooperate towards robust biblical research and establish a dialogue with not just the German-speaking world but also the wider international (English-speaking) community. This will bring Latvian scholars to an environment where they can engage with and contribute to the international biblical debate.

In this contribution, the argument pits two cultural reflexes against one another. In modern democracies, religion is removed from the socio-political sphere; in ancient Israel, religion was inserted into the socio-political sphere. In both cases, the intention was the same: the socio-political wellbeing of the citizenry. Such a cultural comparison puts to question the false assumption in modern democracies, that a public sphere emptied of religion constitutes greater freedom.

Intercultural biblical hermeneutics is a fairly recent development in biblical scholarship in general. It emphasises that biblical interpretation almost always takes place in contexts where an array of cultural values and beliefs determine the outcome of the interpretative process. Although this branch of biblical hermeneutics emerged from the need to reflect theoretically on how Christians from different socio-cultural and socio-economic contexts engage the biblical texts, and one another on account of those texts, this approach may also be widened to include the interpretation of the Bible in non-Christian contexts (including the contexts of other religions and secular contexts) or even to engage in discourse on the interpretation of authoritative texts of different traditions (such as the Qur’an in Islam, in addition to the Tenakh of Judaism, and the Old and New Testament of Christianity). In research on intercultural biblical hermeneutics, it has been noticed that intercultural interpretation holds enormous transformative potential. My paper will examine how this could be of use in engagements between religious, secular and post-secular contexts.
