RESENSI BUKU : THE BIBLICAL HEBREW COMPANION FOR BIBLE SOFTWARE USERS

Dalam buku ini Michael Williams berupaya menjembatani 2 ekstrem dalam kaitan studi bahasa Ibrani. Ekstrem yang pertama tetap berpendapat bahwa studi bahasa Ibrani dengan pola ―lama‖ yang meliputi penguasaan paradigma, tata bahasa, sintaks dan kosa kata dengan tidak mempedulikan perkembangan teknologi yang dapat mempermudahkan studi bahasa. Ekstrem yang lain sangat bergantung pada teknologi dan mempersamakan mempelajari perangkat lunak (software) Alkitab dengan mempelajari bahasa asli Alkitab. (p. 5) Buku ini ditujukan bagi mereka yang menggunakan program perangkat lunak Alkitab (Accordance Bible Software, BibleWorks atau Logos Bible Software). Perangkat lunak tersebut memberikan informasi teknis tata bahasa Ibrani, dan buku ini memberikan penjelasan informasi teknis tata bahasa yang sedang diselidiki, sehingga seseorang sungguh mendapatkan manfaat yang maksimal dari perangkat lunak Alkitab yang digunakannya.

Transgression and Countercultural Gnosticism: A Review Essay of April DeConick’s The Gnostic New Age

This review essay presents and critically engages April DeConick’s The Gnostic New Age, thereby elucidating a series of theoretical problems currently facing the study of Gnosticism and ancient religion more broadly. Notably, a post-theoretical shift—identified as pervasive in the field of religious studies in the 2010s—has emerged in recent Gnostic studies, a shift that has failed to embrace the critical insights offered by Michael Williams (1996) and Karen King (2003) and is on the rise in Gnostic studies. In addition, a historical “mapping” (in the sense offered by J. Z. Smith) of ancient religion into dichotomies leaves us with a romanticized ”Gnosticism” and a caricatured understanding of ancient religion and ancient Christianity. On the positive side, however, DeConick illustrates a rising interest in studying the experiential in Gnosticism while advocating the application of cognitive science of religion.

Beyond Realism and Antirealism ---At Last?

This paper recapitulates my four primary lines of argument that what is wrong with scientific realism is not realist answers to questions to which various anti-realists give different answers, but instead assumptions shared by realists and anti-realists in framing the question. Each strategy incorporates its predecessors as a consequence. A first, minimalist challenge, taken over from Arthur Fine and Michael Williams, rejects the assumption that the sciences have a general aim or goal. A second consideration is that realists and antirealists undertake a mistaken, substantive commitment to a separation between mind and world, which allows them to frame the issue in terms of how epistemic “access” to the world is mediated. A third strategy for dissolving the realism question challenges its underlying commitment to the independence of meaning and truth, a strategy pursued in different ways by Donald Davidson, Robert Brandom, John McDowell, John Haugeland, and myself. The fourth and most encompassing strategy shows that realists and antirealists are thereby committed to an objectionably antinaturalist conception of scientific understanding, in conflict with what the sciences themselves have to say about our own conceptual capacities.

Contextualism and externalism in Michael Williams’ epistemological theory

In this paper I shall deal with the relation between the contextualist and externalist elements in the epistemological theory of Michael Williams. I shall claim that Williams did not clearly explicate the true nature of that relation. Firstly, I shall briefly present Williams? contextualist theory. Then I shall expose Brian Ribeiro?s objection to Williams according to which externalism, and not contextualism, plays a key role in his theory. I shall argue against this objection. On the other hand, contrary to Williams, I shall claim that externalism is not a necessary consequence of contextualism. Williams? theory is just an externalist version of the basic contextualist standpoint. Another, Wittgensteinian version is also possible. Finally, I shall show that Williams? theory is not obviously better then Wittgensteinian one.
