Spiritual rhetoric has an important role in strengthening understanding and communication of religious teachings, but often does not receive sufficient attention in Christian religious education. The approach of Quintilianes, a famous philosopher and rhetorician from the ancient Roman era, provides a solid foundation for improving the teaching of spiritual rhetoric. This article presents key concepts from Quintilianes' thinking that can be adapted in the study of Christianity, such as the importance of ethics in communication, developing speaking skills, and emphasizing the formation of good character. This integration strategy can be applied in various contexts of Christian religious education, both in religious schools, churches and within the family environment. By incorporating elements of spiritual rhetoric into the curriculum, educators can help students understand and articulate their beliefs more effectively, while promoting fundamental moral and spiritual values. In facing the complexity of the contemporary world, the integration of Quintilianes' thoughts in the study of Christianity becomes increasingly relevant. This article proposes that this approach can provide a powerful foundation for increasing understanding, appreciation, and practice of Christianity, as well as fostering deeper spiritual growth in students.

Socio-economic relations are everything related to economic actions in meeting community needs such as clothing, food and shelter. In meeting economic needs, a person no longer looks at differences in ethnicity, race or religion. Kijang Island Village is the capital of Reteh District with land used as a coconut plantation by coconut farmers. The phenomenon that occurs is that farmers prioritize selling their harvest to tokeh in Kijang Island Village. This cannot be separated from the influence of a tokeh who is highly trusted by the community so that coconut farmers are very dependent on selling their harvest to the tokeh.

Ta’aruf is a process of introduction between two individuals aimed at building a more serious relationship within the context of marriage. In modern society, dating is often considered a preliminary step toward marriage; however, from an Islamic perspective, dating can lead to various moral and social problems. This journal aims to explore the relevance of ta’aruf as a more appropriate alternative aligned with Islamic values in avoiding dating. Through theoretical reviews, research methodology, and data analysis, this study seeks to provide effective solutions to the challenges of relationships among Muslim youth. The findings indicate that ta’aruf has a strong foundation in Islamic teachings and offers a safe space for individuals to get to know each other in a shar’i (lawful) manner without violating religious boundaries. This process not only minimizes the potential for moral pitfalls but also fosters a healthier and more purposeful foundation of communication toward a harmonious marriage (sakinah). With the right approach, ta’aruf can serve as a relevant, adaptive model of pre-marital relationships that educates young Muslims to build families based on Islamic values.

This study examines the dynamics of meaning, symbolism, and interpretation in Buddhist religious texts through semantic and hermeneutic approaches using qualitative methods. The research explores how the structure of meaning in texts such as the Dhammapada and Sutta Pitaka shapes understanding of Buddhist values, and how teachings in symbols such as the Middle Way, Three Jewels, and Nirvana undergo transformations of meaning according to cultural contexts. The findings show that the understanding of Buddhist text meanings is not fixed, but dynamic, formed through interactions between text, context, and readers. This research employs semantic analysis to identify denotative and connotative meanings, combined with hermeneutic interpretation following Gadamerian and Ricoeurian frameworks. The results reveal that Buddhist symbols carry multilayered meanings that require contextual interpretation, contributing to contemporary understanding and application of Buddhist teachings in diverse cultural settings

The semantic study of religious texts is becoming increasingly important in understanding the meaning of spiritual teachings in a deep, contextual, and relevant way to current developments. This article aims to analyze the semantic aspects of Buddhist texts, emphasizing the meaning, symbolism, and interpretation of key terms. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a hermeneutic method to examine key concepts such as dukkha, nirvana, and samsara found in classical Buddhist texts, including the Dhammapada, the Lotus Sutra, and the Abhidhamma. The analysis shows that the meaning of terms in Buddhist texts is not static or merely literal, but rather contains symbolic, philosophical, and spiritual dimensions that develop according to cultural, social, and historical contexts. These findings confirm that a semantic approach can enrich the understanding of Buddhist teachings, broaden the horizons of religious interpretation, and bridge the relevance of Buddhist values ​​in modern human life.
