The epistemology of Islamic theology (kalam) explores the nature, sources, methods, and validity of knowledge within an Islamic framework, balancing reason and revelation. In kalam thought, rationalism with deductive-metaphysical logic dominates, though revelation remains the primary foundation. The debate between the Mu'tazilite school, emphasizing reason, and the Ash'arite school, prioritizing revelation, highlights its epistemological dynamics. However, reliance on bayani reasoning, centered on textual authority, often restricts critique and renewal. Additionally, Islamic theology struggles with limited engagement with empirical reality due to insufficient application of the correspondence theory, which evaluates truth based on factual evidence. The deductive approach of the coherence theory often falls short in addressing contemporary issues, prompting some thinkers to adopt intuitive, Sufistic methods. Criticism of this stagnation has spurred calls for reformulating Islamic theology to address globalization and modernity. To remain relevant, Islamic theology must develop a more contextual and holistic methodology, integrating deductive, inductive, and empirical approaches. By fostering critical analysis and practical solutions, it can continue to serve as a vital tool for developing adaptive and relevant Islamic thought in every era.

This study explores the application of eco-hermeneutics, an interdisciplinary approach combining ecological thought and scriptural interpretation, to sacred texts such as the Bible, Quran, and Vedas. Eco-hermeneutics seeks to reinterpret traditional religious teachings to emphasize ecological responsibility, interconnectedness, and the moral obligation of humans to protect the environment. The analysis identifies key ecological themes within sacred scriptures, including creation care, stewardship, and the intrinsic value of nature. Interviews with theologians and environmental ethicists provide practical insights into how eco-hermeneutical interpretations can be applied in contemporary religious contexts, offering a fresh perspective on environmental ethics rooted in religious teachings. This approach challenges anthropocentric views, which have historically positioned humans as dominators of nature, and instead advocates for an ecocentric understanding of the environment. The findings highlight the potential of eco-hermeneutics to inspire faith-based responses to the ecological crises, urging religious communities to adopt these interpretations to foster environmental stewardship. However, challenges and resistance from traditional religious communities are identified, particularly concerning entrenched views on human supremacy over nature. The study also explores the implications of eco-hermeneutics for religious education, suggesting that its integration into religious curricula could promote a theology of care and responsibility toward the environment. The paper concludes by calling for further research on the practical applications of eco-hermeneutics, particularly in how these teachings can be incorporated into religious practices and community actions, contributing to global sustainability efforts.

This study aims to analyze the inconsistency of paragraphs in articles published in the November 2024 edition of Larise magazine. The approach used in this study is qualitative descriptive with data collection methods in the form of observation and recording.

Magazine writers and editors are advised to improve the application of cohesion elements to improve the cohesion of the text and make it easier for readers to follow the flow of thought. Thus, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the application of cohesion techniques in print media writing and highlights the need for improvement in these areas to achieve more effective communication.
