Matt Jenson

Biographical Sketch

Matt Jenson is a systematic theologian specializing in sin. Really. But in so doing, he is motivated by a desire to understand what it means to be human in terms of the relationships for which we were created and in which we live, move and have our being. So he likes to talk about God, too, and church. Dr. Jenson is assistant professor of theology in the Torrey Honors Institute, and is a happy and grateful part of Fountain of Life Covenant Church in Long Beach.
