Themelios

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 Religious and Theological Studies Fellowship (RTSF) and UCCF in the UK, and it became a digital journal operated by The Gospel Coalition in 2008.

Themelios is published three times a year exclusively online at The Gospel Coalition website. It is presented in two formats: PDF and HTML.

UCCF's new Theology Website

Universities and Colleges Christian Fellowship (UCCF) have today launched a new theology website - TheologyNetwork.org. The site has a similar look to UCCF's apologetics website bethinking.org.

"Theology Network exists to equip you with top quality theological resources - both articles and audio talks. We believe that Christian theology is the most exciting thing possible since it’s simply about knowing God better."

Kenya

The International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES), an organisation which links Christian Unions across the world, produces information for prayer. This weeks' Prayer News is about Kenya.

Kenya: violent reactions

Ongoing violence grips Kenya following the disputed results of the presidential election. Hundreds of people have been killed and tens of thousands driven from their homes.

FOCUS (the IFES movement in Kenya) had been due to hold a Bible conference starting on 2 January. They have had to cancel the event. Please pray for our brothers and sisters there, that they would know God's help through these difficult days.

A member of our regional staff, who lives in Nairobi, describes what happened after the election results were announced:

'All over the country people reacted in anger... But as the violence has increased it has slowly taken an ethnic angle in some areas. Houses burnt, property destroyed and looting. We have been in a kind of an unofficial curfew... hardly going out of our houses, although today I was able to attend a church leaders meeting trying to broker peace.

'Please do join us in prayer for Kenya. The anger has sown seeds of animosity that will take a long while to resolve between different communities. The economy has enormously suffered and innocent lives have been lost.

'Pray that security may reign and the violence may cease. Pray for the many who have lost homes and loved ones. Pray that the animosity that has arisen may not degenerate further. Pray that the leaders would find ways of resolving the electoral dispute that are just and fair. Pray that the various peace initiatives being carried out by groups, churches and the international community would bear much fruit. Pray that Kenya would not become another failed state.'
