Overview

Themelios is an international evangelical theological journal that expounds and defends the historic Christian faith. Its primary audience is theological students and pastors, though scholars read it as well. It was formerly a print journal operated by RTSF/UCCF in the United Kingdom, and it became a digital journal operated by The Gospel Coalition in 2008. The new editorial team, led by D.A. Carson, seeks to preserve representation, in both essayists and reviewers, from both sides of the Atlantic. Each issue contains articles on important theological themes, as well as book reviews and discussion—from the most important evangelical voices of our time.

“In order to escape the problem of ‘divine absenteeism’ we are suggesting that Jesus had not only a human but also a divine unconscious. Following Tillich’s advice that God is not to be found so much spatially above us as in the depths of our being, we are positing that just as the human unconscious of Jesus must have maintained such involuntary processes as His heart beat, so His divine unconscious maintained the ‘heart beat’ of the cosmos.” (Page 16)

“the existential experience of the risen Christ in the heart of the believer.” (Page 9)

“block the path of those who wander off in creative aberration.” (Page 4)

“This is to say that the Godhead added humanity to itself.” (Page 15)
