Top 10 Posts of 2012

A colleague told me yesterday that my post on “Why I am a Christian Democrat” was not only my most-read post ever, but was one of the most-read posts on the entire Patheos site in 2012. Wow. I’m pondering whether this post’s gratifying success might be pointing me toward my next book project. For now, I am just especially grateful for the new readers who have started following this blog as a result of that post.

Here is a list of the top 10 posts on my blog from 2012, which gives a nice overview of the types of topics I cover. I hope new readers will find something of interest that you haven’t read before, and that those of you who read these previously will consider sharing them with others who might appreciate them. Next week, I’ll be back to posting three to five posts per week, hoping to occasionally hit the sweet spot that will lead to the top posts of 2013!
