Theme
Who God is in His character and attributes belongs to the heart of Christian theology and church. It is a leitmotif which directly and indirectly shapes the outlook on and outcome in other topics. It is yet also a theme that is at the core of Great Controversy conception and hence close to Adventist heart. At the same time, the doctrine of God has been a continued topic of heated discussion and major polemic up to this day.
Newbold Bible Conference will aim to contribute biblical, theological and pastoral perspectives to the ongoing discussion concerning the foundational topic of ‘Character of God’.
