The Gospel Coalition, or TGC, is a web publishing network of “evangelical churches in the Reformed tradition,” founded in 2005 by theologian D. A. Carson and pastor Tim Keller.[1][2] TGC describe their mission as being “deeply committed to renewing our faith in the gospel of Christ and to reforming our ministry practices to conform fully to the Scriptures.”[3] Featuring contributors from a broad geographic and denominational spectrum (Anglicans, Baptists, Free Church pastors, Independents, Presbyterians), The Gospel Coalition, Carson wrote in 2018, is “not a monolith; we are a coalition. What holds us together is our shared commitment to the gospel of Jesus Christ.”[4] As TGC describes itself in a promotional video, “We are not united by culture, nationality, or politics, but by the cross of Jesus Christ.”[5] In the resources it produces, TGC seeks to apply Scripture and gospel-centered approaches to contemporary culture, current events, and issues in everyday life.
TGC regularly produces articles, videos, podcasts, and events featuring notable evangelicals, such as Kevin DeYoung, Sam Allberry, Rebecca McLaughlin, Jackie Hill Perry, Russell Moore, Jen Wilkin, Paul Tripp, and Alisa Childers.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] TGC networks with similar evangelical ministries and publications, such as Crossway, 9Marks, Desiring God, and Christianity Today.
About the ministry
Council
The leadership of The Gospel Coalition includes a group of 40+ active and emeritus members—mostly pastors—who form a Council, “the primary stakeholders who provide leadership and vision for the work of The Gospel Coalition.”[14] This group includes pastors Danny Akin, Bryan Chapell, Mark Dever, Kevin DeYoung, Ligon Duncan, Kent Hughes, Erwin Lutzer, Albert Mohler, Russell D. Moore, Ray Ortlund, David Platt, John Piper, Philip G. Ryken, and Sam Storms.[15] A smaller group of representatives chosen by the Council makes up the Board, which sets the direction and provides oversight for TGC’s president and staff. The Board is currently chaired by Juan Sánchez, a pastor in Austin, Texas.[16]
Previous Council members include Mark Driscoll, who left in March 2012 as "part of a major reorganization of his priorities".[17] In March 2014, Joshua Harris stepped down "in light of the ongoing civil suit against his church",[18] and C.J. Mahaney resigned "for a variety of reasons".[18] Darrin Patrick left the Council in April 2016 as a result of disciplinary action taken by his home church.[19]
Themelios
Themelios is an international, evangelical, peer-reviewed theological journal aimed at theological students and pastors that "expounds and defends the historic Christian faith." The journal began in 1975 and was operated by RTSF/UCCF in the UK, and it became a digital journal operated by TGC in 2008. The editorial team draws participants from across the globe as editors, essayists, and reviewers. Themelios is published three times a year online at TGC website in PDF and HTML.[20]
