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.

• The Biblical View of Truth Challenges: Postmodern Truth Decay, by Douglas Groothuis
• The Importance of Being Earnest: Approaching Theological Study, by Carl Trueman

“According to Nicole, ‘The primary New Testament emphasis is clearly on truth as conformity to reality and opposition to lies and errors’” (Page 19)
