How do we live in between promise and fulfillment, and how do we understand the Christian hope theologically in the period between Christ’s first and second coming? The UDG 2026 Theological Conference is dedicated to a biblical analysis of the eschatological tension of the Kingdom of God—already initiated by the first coming of Christ, yet still awaiting its full fulfillment at His return.
Main topics of the conference:
- How can we live in the light of God's Kingdom during difficult times?
- How do we live in the tension between "Already" and "Not Yet"?
- What is the relationship between present suffering and future glory?
- Why does eschatological hope matter for Christian mission today?
- How does the Bible answer the problem of evil and the question of the future?
Why attend?
This conference offers a biblical and theological exploration of the concept of “already/not yet,” which is central to the theology of the Kingdom of God. The conference is intended to contribute to a clearer understanding of the relationship between present suffering and future glory, the biblical foundation of Christian hope, and the role of the church in light of the eschatological perspective.
