As the 2007 year comes to a close, I thought I’d provide a little year-in-review. For the next six days, I am going to post annotated links to the top 30 posts of this year (determined by comments, backtracks, and personal recollection) as well as some other things to note.
An introductory post to a writing project on a personal hero of mine, Carl F.H. Henry, on his forgotten legacy regarding the new evangelical conscience. In this post I explain what motivated me to begin writing this project and why I believe it is vitally important today.

1. Of First Importance
Tim,
I am:
1) impressed that you are able to do this with a new baby at home (Getting much sleep?); and
2)Looking forward to teh rest of the list.
Tim, thanks for the honours! Isn’t it great how many gospel-focussed blogs are out there?
Tim, thanks for the love and congrats on the new baby!! I love his name…
Thanks Jerry. I think blogging will decrease next year, at least in the volume but hopefully not in content.
Bart,
Indeed. I am really encouraged about the gospel-centered blogs. I am looking forward to blogging more on the gospel in 2008. You guys are doing a great work!
Erik,
Thanks man. I happen to like his name too. 😉
Timmy, thanks so much for the inclusion in your short list. It is an honor, sir.
