The Most-Read Articles of 2002

The most-read Christianity Today article among online readers wasn't even posted in 2002—it's a reflection on anger after the 9/11 terror attacks. Many other articles, such as a Frederica Mathewes-Green column on sex and a 2001 cover story on Ned Flanders of The Simpsons showed similar staying power. But many of Christianity Today's other top stories were more about Islam than about Christianity. Below, in descending order of popularity, are the fifteen most popular articles of the year.
