Description
How do we receive the blessings and benefits of the salvation that is achieved through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ?
The 2025 Los Angeles Theology Conference considered soteriology, giving special attention to the way salvation is received by human persons and communities. In dialogue with Scripture and the Christian tradition, LATC seeks to develop constructive theology for today.
