Best Boundless Webzine Articles and Answers of 2008

Yesterday, I chronicled the blog posts that generated the most views and comments for 2008. Today, I'll expand to The Boundies to the Webzine and give you two top ten lists of most viewed Boundless articles and answers for the year. (I decided to separate the Boundless Answers column because it really is a different animal from the regular narrative form featured on Boundless.)

A couple of things. The Shack was big topic in 2008, both here and on the Webzine. So were topics about relationships (surprise!), particularly issues of settling and initiation. But I get the feeling we'll be seeing a little more variety in the top ten for 2009 with the return of J. Budziszewski's Office Hours.

Be sure and check these out if you haven't already. And check back Thursday when I'll have the top ten Boundless podcasts for 2008.

I liked "Love and Marriage: Luther Style". I also appreciated the articles by Gary Thomas.

A big thank you for bringing back Professor T's office hours!

Now, see, with Tami commenting on the Luther article twice, I had to go read it again.

I'll admit that "I expect to be martyred soon" is a cleverer excuse than "I haven't met the right person yet."

BDB -- Hee hee! I didn't even think about that! ;)

I admire Martin Luther. Yes, I know there are things *not* to admire, and he's just a man, but there's much that *is* admirable. And I've always loved the story of how he and Katherine met, even if it is apocryphal.

And hey: "He's Just Not That Into You Because The Church Wants to Excommunicate Him and He Might Run to Another German State Soon."

And I suppose that honking the horn in the driveway is actually a more respectful way to pick someone up than saying, "Get into this barrel of herring and we'll go..."
