The "top one" story of the week makes everything else pale by comparison. It is almost impossible to keep up with all the news and commentary on Pope Benedict XVI and Islam. But we've done our best to compile both the news and commentary from the controversy, and hit those religion stories that are getting lost. Commentary returns next week.

Weblog

Launched in 1999, Christianity Today’s Weblog was not just one of the first religion-oriented weblogs, but one of the first published by a media organization. (Hence its rather bland title.) Mostly compiled by then-online editor Ted Olsen, Weblog rounded up religion news and opinion pieces from publications around the world. As Christianity Today’s website grew, it launched other blogs. Olsen took on management responsibilities, and the Weblog feature as such was mothballed. But CT’s efforts to round up important news and opinion from around the web continues, especially on our Gleanings feature.
