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.

“Genesis affirms the common humanity of all men and women, created in the image of God. It is only in the course of rebellious human history, and not in the creation, that the different tribes, peoples and nations of the earth emerge, with a dual theological meaning.” (Page 5)

“A nation is any group of people that considers itself to be such, based on such shared characteristics as religion, language, history, territory, common institutions, culture, statehood or aspiration to statehood. Scholarly consensus has established, however, that nations are historical and not natural phenomena.” (Page 5)

“Christ identified with his own culture, at times separated himself from it and above all transformed it, all in faithfulness to his gospel of the kingdom.” (Page 7)

“A false patriotism, blind to a nation’s faults and moral failures, dare not expose itself to such realities” (Page 6)
