Sabat dan Pandemic Covid 19 Perspektif Eco-teologi Kristen

Abstract

Masalah lingkungan hidup kini mendapat perhatian serius. Karena itu teolog Kristen berusaha membuat ataupun merevitalisasi doktrin tentang lingkungan hidup. Di saat pandemic covid 19,  sepertinya kualitas lingkungan hidup meningkat karena manusia “beristirahat” akibat wabah yang terjadi. Di dalam Alkitab hari Sabat dan tahun Sabat dirancang Allah sedemikian rupa untuk mengatur istirahat manusia dan istirahat lahan (lingkungan) dari aktivitas di atasnya. Pada tulisan ini diulas hubungan Sabat dalam Alkitab dengan pandemic covid 19 yang menyebabkan berhentinya aktivitas manusia. Metode yang digunakan adalah  metode penelitian teologi filosofika dengan didahului tafsir secara eksegesis. Hasil penelitian ditemukan bahwa ada kesamaan antara Sabat dalam Alkitab dengan pandemic covid 19. Kesamaan bukan secara substansial tetapi pada efek yang muncul akibat kedua hal ini.

ABSTRACT

_______________________________________________________________

Environmental problems are now receiving serious attention. Therefore Christian theologians try to create or revitalize doctrines about it. At the time of the COVID 19 pandemic, it seemed that the quality of the environment improved because people were "resting" due to the plague. In the Bible, the Sabbath was designed by God in such a way to regulate human rest and land rest (environment) from the activities above it. In this paper, a review of the Bible's Sabbath relationship with the COVID 19 pandemic caused human activity to cease. The method used is a philosophical theology research method with an exegetical interpretation preceded. The results of the study found there is a similarity between Sabbath in the Bible with the COVID 19 pandemic. That similarity is not substantial but on the effects that arise due to these two things.
