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

“Consequently the preferred term here—rather than evangelism—would be discipling, or making disciples, which signifies the process not only of bringing people to faith but of fostering their spiritual growth in terms of relationship with God and his people, and of obedience in all areas of life: ‘teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you’ (Matt 28:19).” (Page 54)

“Second, if men and women are alienated from God and face eternal judgement, then communication of the message of reconciliation must have precedence over social action.” (Page 56)

“One major reason for a tendency to move away from a focus on mission as disciple-making and towards broader definitions has been a loss of belief in the eternal consequences of human lostness and in the uniqueness of Christ’s work as the means by which human beings are restored to the Father.” (Page 56)

“The innermost of the four concentric circles emphasises the making of disciples as the essential, exclusive content of mission.” (Page 54)

“Fourth, the making of disciples of Jesus Christ constitutes in itself a major step towards social and economic change” (Page 57)
