Cape Town Theology Conference · 2026
Creation
Regained
A study of the doctrine of creation across the Great Tradition.
1–3 September 2026 · Reformed Church of Hout Bay, Cape Town
Tickets still available — registrations from 26 August do not include meals.
This year’s theme
The cosmos declares the glory of its Maker. Creation Regained traces the doctrine of creation through Biblical, Historical, Systematic, and Practical theology — recovering a vision of the world as gift, sign, and stage of redemption.
The Programme
Fifteen talks over three days.
From the interpretation of Genesis to creation and culture, the conference reads the doctrine of creation across the full sweep of the Great Tradition.

Cannot take three days off?
Each of the first two days closes with a keynote at 17:30, and either can be attended on its own. These evenings carry some of the strongest talks of the conference, and they exist for working people who cannot make the daytime sessions.
