It defines who God is and what God gives. The gift is both physi cal and relational. It begins now and shapes a way of life in the world\, and it holds within it Christ’s promise of resurrection. Jesus’ crucif ixion remains the stubborn fact that challenges our understanding of what the message of life means. His death was the outcome of social and politic al forces that culminated in state-sponsored violence. But in putting to d eath the Giver of Life\, the world reveals the depth of its estrangement f rom God. Using different interpretive lenses\, John presses us to see how God\, through the death of Jesus\, does indeed give life. The Gospel takes us beyond popular notions of sin and sacrifice by presenting a more radic al message. Through the crucifixion\, God conveys the fullness of his love for the world in order to evoke the faith that gives life. This cruciform love is militant\, confronting the forces of deception and hate\, and giv ing urgency to contemporary Christian witness that seeks fullness of life for individuals\, communities\, and the world God made.\nLearn more and re gister.\nluthersem.edu/fretheim26 LAST-MODIFIED:20260901T121707Z LOCATION:Luther Seminary\, 1490 Fulham Street\, St. Paul\, 55108 URL:https://parkbugle.org/event/fretheim-lecture-on-biblical-theology-with -craig-koester/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=saint- paul-mn X-SOURCE-NAME:Park Bugle X-SOURCE-URL:https://parkbugle.org/195454/events/st-anthony-park-library-e vents-23 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Blacksmithing Basics 1 with Coal Forge (8-session Series) DTSTART:20260922T230000Z DTEND:20260923T020000Z DTSTAMP:20260902T181931Z UID:28869-1790100000-1790110800@www.dodgenaturecenter.org CATEGORIES:arts,education DESCRIPTION:Join blacksmithing instructors from Chicago Avenue Fire Arts Center for an eight-session dive into the basics of blacksmithing at D odge’s forge at Shepard Farm!

Please reach o ut to our Executive Director\, Kate Tucker. \nIsrael had faced seemingly i nsurmountable external and internal threats in its less than 80 year exist ence. Israelis will vote for the 26th Knesset by October 27\, 2026 after t he tumultuous events of the last 6 years\, including the COVID pandemic\, the attack of October 7\, 2023\, and the seemingly never-ending 7-front wa r of the last almost 3 years. \nPrime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has led one of the longest-serving governments in Israeli history over the last fo ur years. For many Israelis who head to the polls within a few months\, th e one question they face as they enter the polling booth is “To Bibi or Not to Bibi.” In recent years\, Israelis are voting less for political i deologies\, and more for individual leaders. \nOne of the more popular que stions I have faced in teaching about Israel over more than 40 years is “Why is the Israeli system of governance so crazy? It seems like your go vernment barely survives its fragile coalition and you are always on the b rink of heading to new elections. Why does everything feel like such a ‘ balagan’ here?” \nThis four-part series is designed to help understand the nature of Israeli democracy and how the uniquely Israeli political sy stem and elections work. Three sessions will be offered during the campaig n and before the elections\, and the fourth will be shortly after the dust settles and a coalition is made to form a new Israeli government. \n\nSep tember 23: Israeli Democracy 101 – “How a People Without Power Became a Powerful People: Israeli Democracy”\nSeptember 30: Israeli Politics 10 2 – “Continued Challenges to Israeli Democracy” How Israel went from its broadest – yet short-lived – coalition\, to the most right wing g overnment in its history in the 4th and 5th elections over 3 ½ years. Wha t challenges has Israel faced during this topsy-turvy period?\nOctober 7: Israeli Elections 2026 – “Who are the parties and leaders\, and what a re the platforms and issues in this election?”\nOctober 28: What now and where are we heading after the elections? Possible scenarios for a govern ment coalition after the elections”\n\nMike was the much-beloved Tour Ed ucator Mount Zion’s 2006 Israel Trip and teacher of our online series du ring the pandemic in 2021: “7 Countries in 7 Weeks”.
