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.

“To win the long-term victories, you have to influence the way in which a rising generation thinks.” (Page 24)

“The real problem is not that evangelicalism has neglected its theology; it is that it has failed to do anything of cultural significance with it.” (Page 23)

“The relation between Church and synagogue has a long and painful history. The first separating fences were put up from the side of the rabbis, against Jewish Christians. Birkat ha-Minim was the first step in a development which marginalized Jewish Christians within the people of Israel. The second Jewish revolt under Bar Kochba (‘The Son of the Star’, a messianic designation; cf. Nu. 24:17) brought the next step. Jewish Christians could not follow a false messiah and did not join the revolt, and were therefore persecuted as traitors and executed by Bar Kochba when they refused to curse Jesus and join Bar Kochba’s ranks.²³ Later history has seen the Gentile Christian Church taking a manifold ‘revenge’.” (Page 18)

“History shows that on a few occasions crucifixion or execution by hanging on the tree was indeed practised by Jews” (Page 15)

“generally being depicted as intellectually vacuous, culturally destructive and spiritually simplistic” (Page 24)
