As is my usual practice, I am sharing a rundown of some of the stats on this blog. Particularly, the most read posts. The previous two days I shared the most read posts written in 2023. Today and tomorrow I am sharing the most read posts of all time.
The reason for sharing these stats is they reflect what you have been most interested in reading. I am so grateful to you for reading this blog, whatever you happen to make of it, and I think it is interesting to see what has been most popular for the majority of people.
Of course, not everybody who comes here subscribes directly. The most popular posts are not necessarily the most interesting, nor the ones most people would have found most interesting, but are the ones picked up by other people with far bigger readership. It is almost certainly the case that the most popular posts (with a few exceptions) are the ones picked up by people like Tim Challies and other high profile platforms that have highlighted what is written here.
Even so, there are plenty of posts that have been picked up by those other platforms that don’t feature in the top 10. I think some of the all time most read posts were never shared on larger platforms (to the best of my knowledge) too. So it isn’t exclusively the top 10 posts that interested Tim Challies and the Gospel Coalition, but it is fair to give an appropriate nod to them and to say thank you to all those who have picked up what is written here and shared it on their own platforms. I appreciate the content being shared far and wide.
So, with all that said, here are the first five – number 10 to number 6 – of the most read Building Jerusalem posts of all time.
