Christianity Today December 20, 2023

Amid wars, political chaos, and church controversies, Christianity Today’s readers came to our site in 2023 for faithful reflections and trustworthy reporting.

In both its topic and reception, our most-read article of the year is a reminder of how God is still at work: Tom McCall’s report from the revival at Asbury University was translated into six additional languages and read by over 470,000 people. And beyond revival coverage, CT readers were particularly interested in church splits, Tim Keller’s legacy, and war in the Holy Land.

Our 10 most-read stories of the year are listed below in descending order. You can find these and other top CT stories of the year here, many of which are also offered in CT Global translations.
