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 eschatological work of the Spirit as it pertains to Scripture is that for which Wright fails to account.” (Page 20)

“cannot subject itself to the criticism of human beings but must subject them to its criticism” (Page 15)

“Wright allows the literature of the second-temple too great an interpretive role. This produces problems with his christology, eschatology, and ecclesiology.” (Page 30)

“The emblem of the continuing presence of sin in our lives is our mortal body.” (Page 74)

“In 1 Corinthians 6:9 the word malakoi is paired with arsenokoitai, and the combination of the two terms indicates that same sex relations are in view, not heterosexual sex or effeminate behaviour in general. Paul, of course, in the very same verse says that those who live sexually immoral lives as heterosexuals will be excluded from the kingdom as well, but he does not have such a notion in mind when he uses the terms arsenokoitai and malakoi.” (Page 71)
