We've had one of our best years ever here at Mere-O. Here are the top 10 posts we wrote this year, as measured by pageviews.

1) [When Webb Mastered Christianity](https://mereorthodoxy.com/?p=4556). Of course, see also [Andrew's retraction](https://mereorthodoxy.com/?p=4562) and [my followup thoughts](https://mereorthodoxy.com/?p=4580).

2) [Hipsters, Bohemians, and Jamie Smith](https://mereorthodoxy.com/?p=4251): Brett McCracken wrote a book. Jamie Smith reviewed it. I responded. Follow that?

3) [Why Jennifer Knapp Matters](https://mereorthodoxy.com/?p=2677): Cate's thoughtful reflections on Jennifer Knapp's big announcement was one of the most talked-about pieces this year.

4) [The Objectification of Jennifer Knapp](https://mereorthodoxy.com/?p=2675): My basic point is that it seemed like Jennifer Knapp didn't want to be an object lesson, so Christians shouldn't turn her into one.

5) [A New Book by...Me](https://mereorthodoxy.com/?p=2129): [The title has since changed and it's available for preorder](http://amzn.to/gL8n6m?ref=mereorthodoxy.com). Which is really all you need to know.

6) [The Hipster Christian Controversy](https://mereorthodoxy.com/?p=4155): I talked with Brett McCracken about his book and the subsequent controversy it sparked.

7) [Elitism, Tea Parties, and the Evangelical Left](https://mereorthodoxy.com/?p=4379): This one didn't make many people happy, so make sure you see the [followup post I wrote on it as well](https://mereorthodoxy.com/?p=4384).

8) [An Interview with Craig Carter](https://mereorthodoxy.com/?p=4308): Andrew and Dr. Carter talk theology and politics.

9) [Susan Sontag on Beauty and Gender](https://mereorthodoxy.com/?p=2169): Jeremy Mann offered some thoughts on the superficiality of beauty. This is a "must read."

10) [Expecting to Change the World](https://mereorthodoxy.com/?p=3868): I got invited to the American Enterprise Institute in June to respond to James Davison Hunter. This is what I said.

Thanks for reading in 2010\. And here's to an even more productive and thoughtful 2011.
