Abstract

This study examines the relationship between spiritual dimensions and ecological practices within the local wisdom of the Sembalun community in East Lombok Regency as a community-based environmental conservation mechanism. Employing an ecotheological framework, the research explores how sacred cosmology, traditional rituals, and social governance function as a holistic and sustainable system of conservation. A qualitative method with an ecological ethnography design is applied through participant observation, in-depth interviews with customary leaders, ritual practitioners, farmers, and village administrators, as well as documentation studies of customary texts and village regulations. The findings indicate that the Sembalun community perceives nature as a sacred living entity, manifested in the concept of Gumi Sasak, ecological spatial zoning (protected forests, sacred areas, and productive lands), and rituals such as Mepanten, Environmental Nyepi, and periods of restriction (Sasi). These practices empirically contribute to forest cover preservation, water source stability, and agroecosystem resilience. Ecotheological analysis reveals that the integration of spirituality and environmental ethics within local wisdom offers a relational model that challenges modern anthropocentric paradigms. This study recommends institutional recognition of local knowledge systems in environmental governance policies, as well as strengthening intergenerational knowledge transmission amid the pressures of tourism and climate change.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the concept of a sakinah family from the perspective of Islamic Religious Education and to examine its relevance to contemporary Islamic family law in Indonesia. The method used is library research with a juridical-normative approach through the analysis of Islamic legal sources, Islamic Religious Education literature, and family law regulations in Indonesia. The results of the study indicate that a sakinah family is an ideal concept encompassing values of tranquility, affection, and mercy, derived from the teachings of the Qur’an and Hadith. From the perspective of Islamic Religious Education, a sakinah family is formed through the internalization of moral values, spirituality, and responsibility. Meanwhile, in contemporary Islamic family law in Indonesia, these values have been accommodated in the Marriage Law and the Compilation of Islamic Law, although there remains a gap between legal norms and social realities. This study also finds that the integration of Islamic Religious Education and family law is crucial in realizing a holistic sakinah family. Therefore, synergy among education, law, and public awareness is needed to strengthen family resilience in the modern era.

Abstract

The use of the phrase “the beloved disciple” as an anonymous marker in the Gospel of John is often interpreted by some modern critics as a claim of spiritual superiority over other apostles. However, differing interpretations of this narrative motif have created a significant academic gap in understanding the text’s authority. This qualitative study aims to re-examine the theological motive behind the use of this phrase and to demonstrate that the narrative represents humility rather than elitism. The method employed is narrative criticism combined with grammatical analysis of Koine Greek in the Gospel of John. The findings indicate that the author’s anonymity functions as a strategy of ego effacement, transforming a historical figure into the ideal disciple. Textually, the use of the imperfect active indicative verb construction emphasizes that Jesus is the sole active subject in this relationship, meaning that the identity of “the beloved disciple” is entirely grounded in divine initiative rather than personal merit. Furthermore, the comparison with Peter is not intended to assert superiority, but to emphasize that leadership authority should be rooted in relational dynamics rather than mere hierarchy. Thus, the phrase operates as a narrative device of humility, offering an inclusive and service-oriented paradigm of Christian leadership.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze how the ethnography of communication operates within the besentulak tradition in Jerowaru Village, as one of the collective communication practices of the Sasak community that has become deeply rooted in local social and cultural life. This study not only focuses on the external form of the tradition, but also examines the communicative dimensions embedded within each stage of the ritual process, ranging from the determination of the setting, participant involvement, to the mechanism of ritual closure. Amid the currents of modernization, the communicative meanings contained in local traditions often receive limited scholarly attention. Therefore, this research seeks to uncover the structure of cultural communication operating within the tradition. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using the ethnography of communication method. The besentulak tradition serves as the primary object for understanding the formation of communicative events, which are subsequently analyzed through Dell Hymes’ SPEAKING framework, including setting, participants, ends, act sequences, key, instrumentalities, norms, and genre. The findings reveal that communication within the besentulak tradition operates in a complex manner through the simultaneous interaction of verbal, symbolic, and kinesic forms of communication. The study further demonstrates that the besentulak tradition functions not merely as a customary deliberative forum, but as a meaningful cultural communication system. The tradition plays a significant role in strengthening social integration, transmitting local wisdom values, and reinforcing the collective identity of the Jerowaru community. Thus, this research contributes to the development of ethnography of communication studies by positioning the Sasak local tradition as an important framework for understanding the dynamics of cultural communication in Indonesian society more comprehensively.
