Nicolas Proksch (ELS) | Exegesis of 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
A highlight of the CELC convention in South Korea on June 6-8, 2023, was the presentation of five theological essays by pastors representing the five regions of the CELC. The reading of each essay was followed by a discussion involving people from around the world.
The five essays represented the traditional branches of theology (exegetical, doctrinal, historical, and practical), with topics of interest to people everywhere—including the end times, civil government, original sin, and evangelism.
The CELC thanks the essayists for their work in confessing the Lutheran Christian faith and in strengthening the theological foundation of the CELC.
These essays are meant for study by others apart from the convention. They may be found on the CELC Convention webpage here.
