Los Angeles Theology Conference 2027

"God in All Things: The Omnipresence of the Doctrine of God"

March 10–12, 2027, Biola University, La Mirada, CA

How does the doctrine of God pervade and shape the entire system of Christian doctrine? The 2027 Los Angeles Theology Conference will consider the centrality of the doctrine of God to the whole of Christian belief. "Theology proper" stands at the center of systematic theology, radiating unity and integrity across the full range of doctrines. Speakers will address different areas of theological reflection, including divine names and perfections, revelation, and redemption, always in relation to the ever-present doctrine of God.

Call For Papers opens October 12. The LATC 2027 organizers will be seeking theologically constructive papers on the conference theme from scholars in any theological discipline. Proposals from current doctoral students also welcome. Questions? Write LAtheology@gmail.com
