The first annual Los Angeles Theology Conference is announced. This will take place on January 17-18, 2013 on the Biola University campus.
The Conference, which is a joint initiative by Fuller and Biola, is entitled Christology, Ancient
and Modern: Explorations in Constructive Theology and seeks to make a
positive contribution to contemporary dogmatics in intentional engagement with
the Christian tradition.
Oliver
Crisp, Professor of Systematic Theology at Fuller Theological Seminary, comments
“As a newcomer to Southern
California I was struck by the fact that there was not a regular forum in the
LA area where theologians from different institutions could meet and discuss
Christian theology. It
is our hope that through these meetings systematic theology may be invigorated
and new conversations and dialogues across traditions and disciplinary
boundaries begun.”
Speakers will include
