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 Christology of Jürgen Moltmann, by Donald Macleod
• Rescuing Theology From Theologians, by Gerald Bray
• Architects of Evangelical Intellectual Thought: Abraham Kuyper and Benjamin Warfield, by Peter S. Heslam

Top Highlights

“Kuyper maintained that the worldviews of Christianity and evolution were diametrically opposed to each other, without any hope of reconciliation.” (Page 7)

“The trick, however, is so to absorb this material that it becomes second nature, that it gets transposed in heart and mind into something which is genuinely believed, and can therefore be expressed with conviction in the preacher’s own words. The message, in other words, should come from the heart as well as from the mind, and the heart does not speak Greek.” (Pages 55–56)

“As George Marsden has written: ‘In almost every field today, evangelical scholars are divided in two camps … the Warfieldians and the Kuyperians.’⁶ The key differences between Kuyper and Warfield were derived, however, from their difference in approach to a single issue: the relationship between faith and reason.” (Page 4)

“It is the task of a good theologian to point this sort of thing out, even if it is unpopular at the time, and warn the church against falling into complacency, which is the prelude to error.” (Page 53)

“The two means of verification normally open to Christians are Scripture and tradition. Neither of these seems particularly important to Moltmann.” (Pages 35–36)
