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.

“Their calling was to declare the virtues or characteristics of the One who called them out of darkness into his marvellous light (2:9–10).” (Page 92)

“Now the debate, if entered on its own terms, forces one to think about what it means to take creation as a whole, a totality, in its eschatological destiny. O’Donovan is clearly right that Scripture does so speak. What Scripture does not tell us, however, is what such wholeness entails. For its purposes it does not need to. But when this is linked up with discussions of ethics, including those pertaining to natural institutions, one is forced to enquire in more detail.” (Page 88)

“They were not called upon to withdraw from society. They too should seek its welfare. In fact, from 2:12ff. they were shown how they should spend their days in their city by seeking the blessing of its inhabitants.” (Page 91)

“1 Peter shows how it is possible to be truly heavenly minded and of real earthly use to the welfare of the city.” (Page 93)
