Abstract

Only in 2021, 350 thousand complaints of rape were registered in Indonesia. 63% of campus violence incidents were not reported to maintain the good image of the campus. Spiritual intelligence may reduce juvenile delinquency among college students. Spiritual intelligence is used as a foundation to maximize intellectual intelligence and emotional intelligence. With spiritual intelligence, a person sees that every life has meaning and value, which makes the individual feel useless in reality. The Bible teaches that followers of Christ, including Christian students, must have the character of Christ and live according to the truth, which means living without the mask of hypocrisy. The inherent responsibility of Christian students should include a desire and commitment to learn and develop their Christian character so that their lives will radiate the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Abstract

This study examines Matthew 5:3 as a theological critique of the capitalist notion of happiness. Through a multidisciplinary approach that integrates biblical exegesis, semantic analysis of the Greek text, socio-economic philosophy, and contextual theology, the research argues that the Beatitude challenges the reduction of happiness to material possession. The Greek expression ‘makarioi hoi ptōchoi tō pneumatic’ demonstrates that “blessedness” is not simply an emotional or psychological state but a theological condition rooted in radical dependence on God. In contrast, capitalist thought as articulated by Adam Smith, Max Weber, Milton Friedman, and Ayn Rand—defines happiness in terms of wealth accumulation, market freedom, and individual self-interest, which in practice generates inequality, alienation, and systemic exploitation. As a counter-narrative, Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, and Antonio Gramsci emphasize happiness as inseparable from social justice, solidarity, and the liberation from structural oppression. Similarly, theological voices from both liberal (Schleiermacher, Bultmann) and orthodox traditions (Chrysostom, Barth) reject the commodification of happiness, affirming instead that authentic joy is realized in communion with God and others. Employing Derrida’s theory of deconstruction, the study highlights how Matthew 5:3 subverts capitalist hierarchies by declaring the poor and marginalized as truly blessed. The findings suggest that this Beatitude should be understood not only as a spiritual affirmation but also as an ethical-political resource for critiquing modern systems of economic domination.

Abstract

This interdisciplinary study investigates the intersection of biblical wisdom and classical economic theory by analyzing Proverbs 19:2 in dialogue with David Ricardo’s Law of Diminishing Returns. Proverbs 19:2 underscores the primacy of da‘at (knowledge or practical wisdom) as a guiding principle, cautioning against impulsivity and haste, which lead to errors, inefficiencies, and resource mismanagement. Correspondingly, Ricardo’s law demonstrates that the unregulated addition of inputs results in diminishing marginal productivity, highlighting the necessity of strategic balance in resource allocation. Drawing on liberal Christian theological perspectives, Jewish wisdom scholarship, and economic theory, this research elucidates the functional equivalence between ethical prudence and productivity optimization. Findings indicate that wisdom operates both as a moral regulator and as a practical instrument for enhancing organizational and personal efficiency. The study further explores implications for contemporary work ethics, time management, and the conceptualization of labor as a vocation (vocatio) rather than a mere input-output process. By bridging theological reflection and economic reasoning, this research contributes to the emerging field of theology-economics, offering a framework wherein ethical discernment and strategic action converge to promote sustainable productivity and holistic human flourishing.
