I've got my morning's work cut out for me.

Several months ago, I ran across a website for the theological/Biblical studies journal Themelios. I bookmarked the site to investigate it later. I got around to doing that this morning.

The names of writers in/for Themelios (full title: Themelios: An International Journal for Students of Theology and Religious Studies) are like a "who's who" of evangelical scholars. From just a casual, very cursory look, I saw the names of D.A. Carson, J.I. Packer (in one of the early years of the journal--he's been deceased for quite a few years now), G.K. Beale, R.T. France.

I bought a bundle--advertised as being comprehensive--of electronic conservative theological journals a couple of years ago. For some reason, however, this prominent journal wasn't included. However, it appears that every one of the issues that have been published--45 quarterly ones (by my count), in their entirety--are available free from The Gospel Coalition's website.

The homepage for the journal is themelios.thegospelcoalition.org. From there, you can download the current issue (at this moment, it's Volume 42, Issue 3 (December 2017)). You can download not only the PDF, but also one formatted for the Logos Bible Software (several of the basic versions of Logos are free also, such as the one offered here). Clicking on the "Archive" link at the top of that webpage will allow you to do the same thing for the other 44 issues of the journal that have been published.

I know that an electronic journal of any kind stretches the definition of "ebook." However, I'm sure that every one of the more recent journals have well over 100 pages each. There's not much difference between one of these journals and, say, a festschrift or other book of essays. I look at these journals are being like a set of ebooks. I hope that the moderator(s) do, also.

I'll have to remember (or bookmark) to check every three months or so for a new issue. In the meantime, my job this morning is to download the current issue and all of the issues in the archive. As we all know, so many times nice things that are on the Internet are "here today, and gone tomorrow."
