In January, I try to make two blog posts: one compiling the list of books I read over the previous year and the other listing my most popular blog posts. I usually start with the list of most popular blog posts. Here it is:

My blog had almost the same number of visitors both in 2021 that it did in 2020 (around 2,800 each year) but for whatever reason this past year was the first year that not a single one of my posts for year appeared in the list of “Most Read Blog Posts of All Time.” Indeed, the list of most read posts for 2021 is almost identical to the one for 2020. The sole change is that my sermon on the climate crisis from 2015 “…Or Perish Together as Fools” made the 2021 list and a post on Pelagius from 2014 did not.
