Top Blogs

Over the next few weeks I am going to offer evaluations (sort of like a book review style) of some of, in my opinion, the best theologically orientated blog’s. By “theologically oriented,” I mean they in some way or to some degree deal with issues related to theology, or the study and application of the Word of God. Some deal directly with theological issues, and some are more directed at the application of theology to life—in all kinds of ways. In short, anything that deals with spiritually related material that helps us to be better informed and equipped to serve God, will be fair game.

I have no specific number or timeline in mind, but I will cover those that I personally find most interesting and informative. If you wanted, you could set at my computer all day long reading blogs that fit my parameters and you would never come close to reading all you could. Of course, we will all have our own preferences and interests. My goal here is to offer some information that may help you to discern what blogs may be most helpful to you.

And one other note, I will for the most part cover only those that are fairly regular in their posting; not necessarily every day, but at least weekly.

I’ll start with a scientific analysis of the top church related blogs. The people at ChurchRelevance (a blog), used a rather complicated formula measuring subscribers, Google PageRank, link hits, and other things, to calculate the most read church and ministry related blogs. Here is how they introduce it:

There are hundreds of great church blogs and ministry blogs to read, but do you ever wonder which church blogs everyone else is reading?

I do, which is why I have compiled a list of the world’s top church blogs.

Some focus exclusively on ministry, while others are more like theology blogs. Regardless of how you label them, these are the world’s most popular church blogs written by many of today’s most influential church leaders, theologians, and Christ followers.

In all, they include the top 60 by their rank. The top five are (they are all linked) . . .

1. Tim Challies [Rank 4.83]

2. Between Two Worlds / Justin Taylor [Rank 7.33]

3. Stuff Christians Like / Jon Acuff [Rank 9.33]

4. Out of Ur [Rank 9.83]

5. The Resurgence / Mark Driscoll [Rank 11.00]

Over the next few weeks I will deal with many on this list, but not all. You can see the entire article and list here >>

All the blog sites are hot-linked on their page if you want to check them out.

But a funny thing, I didn’t see 3rdJohn8 on there, hum ?????
