Russel T. McCutheon, a critical figure in studying and responding to the issue of religion, argued that in dealing with a modern and sophisticated life, a variety of approaches must be used to produce a theory that can be understood and accepted by all religions. In addition, no one would have felt marginalized from the structure of social life as the world inhabited by human beings sometimes makes them feel more powerful than the actual ruler. McCutheon gives an example of America and Europe in which considerable change in the structure of the understanding and culture of the community occurs because both regions have different characters and cultures. Thus, an anthropological approach to understand the character and behavior of the society and religion as a whole is necessary.

In Indonesia where the majority of the population is Muslims, pesantren that has thrived since the arrival of Islam to the shore of the archipelago is still out of the central field of the national educational system. As such, pesantren was and is forced to continually be aware with ongoing new educational developments in the country as the result of modernisation and globalisation. The foundation of Ma’had Aly is one of the ways taken by the pesantrens to response to the current developments within Muslim communities, to define or even maintain their central roles as well as to preserve their tradition in such a modernised and globalised Indonesia. By exploring the foundation of Ma’had Alys in Kuningan as a case study, this article closely elaborates how the pesantren world engages these processes both in their cirricular settings and practices and provides how it negotiates with the ongoing changes within its surrounding communities.

This article discusses Gadamer's hermeneutics in the study of political theology. The question of meaning is at the heart of hermeneutic study. The significance or meaning comes from the German word "meinen" which means "in the mind or true". Thus, the meaning of a text, actions, relationships, and so on is what is in the mind of the author in implementing or generating text. According to Gadamer's hermeneutics, the meaning is never involved any of the elements (agents and intentions), but the two elements that must be interpreted (acts, texts and the like) and its interpreter. The Gadamer outlook is what will be used in the view of political realities, particularly the relation between religion and state in the context of Indonesian-ness.
