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.
With Logos, you have instant access to decades’ worth of content in Themelios. You can search by author, topic, and Scripture passage—and find it all instantly. What’s more, Scripture references link to both original language texts and English Bible translations, and links within each volume of Themelios allow you to quickly move from the table of contents to the articles to the index and back again.

“As this book switches into its second half, these theoretical foundations give rise to two more constructive chapters. Smith traces how stories are imbibed via liturgies, whether secular or religious, generating metaphorical universes which lead us to desire a particular telos, a view of the good life. As liturgical animals, Smith posits that poetics, stories and metaphors matter intensely as the modes by which imaginations are shaped and forge our pre-cognitive frames for interpretation and action. ‘Liturgies are compressed, repeated, performed narratives that, over time, conscript us into the story they ‘tell’ by showing, by performing’ (p. 109).” (Page 546)
“Smith laments how often the devil has the best liturgies: global capitalism and its localised forms such as shopping malls can be more effectual shapers of people than the church. This book calls both churches and Christian education institutions to a renewed attending to the imagination and its formation, within. It asks for liturgy and pedagogy to be taken seriously as embodied, pre-cognitive, action-oriented formation.” (Page 545)
“My point is that Jesus prayed Scripture. For him to do that, he had to read Scripture, correctly understand Scripture, meditate on Scripture, and then apply Scripture to his specific situation.” (Page 418)
“A theological education focused primarily on the merely cognitive without addressing character, attitudes, ambitions and priorities will tend to produce Pharisees.” (Page 364)
“Jesus trained his disciples first of all by having them accompany him and observe his own life and ministry” (Page 362)
