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.

Top Highlights

“The Nicene Creed of ad 325 and the Chalcedonian Creed of ad 451 are the classic formulations.⁷ But well before these developments—indeed, driving these developments—was the binitarian pattern of early Christian devotion and worship reflected in 1 Corinthians 8:5–6. In other words, it is not an exaggeration to say that the 400 years of doctrinal controversy which followed Paul were essentially an attempt to form doctrine adequate to the pattern of religious life which had taken shape within the first 20 years of the Christian movement.” (Page 4)

“The fact that Paul uses the phrase in his letter to Greek-speaking converts and without translating it suggests that the phrase was already a piece of sacred Christian tradition, a liturgical formula carried over into Greek-speaking churches and preserved because it derived from the earliest circles of Jewish Christians.” (Page 5)

“the powerful effect of religious experiences in the earliest Christian circles” (Page 7)

“the little Aramaic phrase in 1 Corinthians 16:22, marana tha, ‘Our Lord, Come!” (Page 5)

“Once that living God and his claims are rejected, then the resulting vacuum is filled with gods that are destructive and cruel.” (Page 3)
