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

“What Ecclesiastes does is strike out in a slightly different direction at the folly that life ‘under the sun’ can be fully ‘taped’ leaving no loose ends. It does this by propounding the view that even wisdom has its limits, that so-called ‘keys to success’ are notoriously ill-fitting. There is an underlying thought, sometimes made explicit, that we would be wise to accept the unease that life is messy and has an irreducibly mysterious element at its core.” (Pages 10–11)

“John Chapman, the Australian evangelist, makes the important apologetic point that this is a world suitable for sinners. The discordant nature of reality, its frustrations, its agonies and endless disappointments—the very stuff of Ecclesiastes—reminds us that all is not well between ourselves and our Maker.” (Page 13)

“Luther says that ‘one must see the word of the preacher as God’s Word’.^{5” (Page 28)}

“If nature is all there is, he argued, then whatever is, is right” (Page 5)

“Moses can stand for the law, Elijah for the prophets. Moses was the lawgiver and Jesus was accused of transgressing the law; Elijah was the great opponent of idolatry and Jesus’ enemies were troubled by the excessively close proximity to God in which he placed himself. Then we can read of Moses as informator (teacher) and Elijah as reformator (reformer); of one opening the (Red) sea, the other the (barren) heavens.” (Page 21)
