      <image:caption>We here at Firebrand wanted to introduce ourselves in a way that might give you insight into how our thinking has been formed. Each board member has shared two of their favorite books.

      <image:title>Index - Top ten in 2020</image:title>
      <image:caption>In this most unusual year—filled with a global pandemic, racial and political strife, increasing natural disasters, and economic crises (to name but a few challenges)—we are especially grateful that you have turned your attention to Firebrand. We want to offer our thanks to our Editorial Board, our contributors, and especially you our readers, who have invested in our efforts to ignite the Wesleyan mind. In the coming year we look forward to publishing more articles that, by the grace of God, will help us all “to know, love, and serve ‘the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom he hath sent.’” In the meantime, here are the top ten most viewed articles at Firebrand in 2020. May the Lord richly bless you and yours in the upcoming year, and may the name of the Lord Jesus Christ be praised!</image:caption>
