Themelios by TGC
The new summer 2026 issue of Themelios has 231 pages of editorials, articles, and book reviews. It is freely available in three formats: (1) PDF, (2) web version, and (3) Logos Bible Software. Standout articles include:
1. J. V. Fesko | Editorial: The Council of Nicaea and Christian Character
Fesko argues that the Nicene Creed required moral and ethical virtues to produce its theological orthodoxy. In simple terms, to be a good theologian requires godliness.
2. Daniel Strange | Strange Times: Hiding in Plain Sight
Strange reflects on the cultural fascination with horror films and their presentation of the supernatural. Biblical reality gives us a metaphysic of the Creator-creature distinction which is capacious enough to include the material and the spiritual without confusing them and without divinising them, the blurring of the Creator-creature distinction (otherwise known as idolatry).
Literal Word is a quick and powerful Bible website thoughtfully designed for engaging the word of God. It is also available as a mobile app.
Literal Word exists to promote the word of God and not much else. No ads. No articles. No distractions. The NASB 1995, LSB, ESV, NKJV, and KJV translations of the Bible were selected for faithfully utilizing a word-for-word instead of a thought-for-thought translation method.
Each passage of Scripture is clean, customizable, and convenient to access, allowing the reader to focus exclusively on the God-breathed content.
Word searches are simple but powerful, featuring a unique visual interface for organizing results with precision, and complete lexicons for original Hebrew and Greek words can be viewed with just a couple of clicks.
All of Literal Word is offered free of charge. It really comes down to the fact that a straightforward approach to a Bible website maximizes attention to the word of God.
Hebrew and Greek lexicons are now available

The Death of Death in the Death of Christ - Abridged and Updated for the Modern Reader by John Owen is available for free at Monergism.com.
In Rich and Poor J. C. Ryle shows how Wealth is no proof of God’s favor, poverty is no proof of his displeasure, and death strips away every earthly distinction. What matters eternally is the state of the soul before God.
In Freedom from Sin’s Dominion John Owen helps us understand what it means for sin to have dominion and discern whether it has such a mastery over us, pointing to the power of grace.
