The first in a series of three conferences exploring the approaches of Evangelicalism and Neo-Calvinism will take place in Sao Paulo this May, at which the historical development and future of both theological approaches will be considered by a panel of experts.

The event, organised by a collaboration of scholars from the University of Edinburgh, Fuller Theological Seminary and the Theological University of Utrecht, takes place at Mackenzie University, Sao Paulo following an invitation from the Mackenzie Chancellery. It will focus on the different approaches of both positions, and the growing influence of Neo-Calvinism around the world, before follow-up events are hosted in Asia and Africa.

Keynote speakers, including L’Abri Fellowship Brazil director Guilherme de Carvalho, Mackenzie Presbyterian University chancellor Dr Robinson Grangeiro and associate professor of Religion and Theology at Redeemer University, will discuss historical, theological and ethical questions relating to both positions, before exploring how the two traditions might impact upon each other in the future.
