Which Theologian Are You?
QuizFarm

Posted on 05/21/2007 9:05:01 AM PDT by Gamecock

YIKES! How did Schleiermacher come out so high!?! Better go back and reread Calvin.....

You scored as Karl Barth. The daddy of 20th Century theology. You perceive liberal theology to be a disaster and so you insist that the revelation of Christ, not human experience, should be the starting point for all theology.

Yours looks like mine, and I took the same approach. I’m not sure if this is good or bad.

Ping to 54. It's definitely rigged. Marlowe scored 100% Calvinist!

Marlowe, can you print your answers? There's something not kosher about this quiz.

I am probably more associated with Arminius than Calvin

God willing, not for much longer. 8~)

LOL! Don’t worry. You look pretty close to where the rest of us landed.

Not as long as your Finney score is higher than 0% you don't.

IMO it's flawed to the core.

I just re-took the test, and answered "agree" to everything. My guess is that each agree/disagree answer must correspond to a pair of opposing theologians. Question 1 covers Friedrich Schleiermacher, Question 2 covers Anselm, Question 3 covers Jonathan Edwards, etc. My answering "agree" to all led me to a tiebreaker question, to which I gave the "sovereignty is supremely important" answer. Note my scores, and who I'm supposedly in agreement with:

You scored as John Calvin. Much of what is now called Calvinism had more to do with his followers than Calvin himself, and so you may or may not be committed to TULIP, though God's sovereignty is all important.

Anselm

John Calvin

You scored as Augustine. You have a big view of God and also take human sin and depravity very seriously. Predestination is important for you.

I find it hard to understand how a person could be 100% in one theology yet still have scores in all the other categories. I would think it would make more sense if a person came out as Barth 60, Anselm 20, Calvin 15, Luther 10 and Edwards 5 than 100, 100, 87, 80, 53.

I couldn't find a way to save the answers, so I took it again (3rd time's a charm) and this is the latest result:

You scored as Martin Luther.



The daddy of the Reformation. You are opposed to any Catholic ideas of works-salvation and see the scriptures as being primarily authoritative.

Karl Barth

The fault may be with the deviser of the survey.

I don't know, I answered the questions the way Gamecock of 25 years ago would have and hit the nail right on the head...

Though I can't imagine why Augustine ranked so high...

You scored as Charles Finney. You're passionate about God and love to preach the Gospel. Your theology borders on pelagianism and it is said that if God were taken out of your theology, it would look exactly the same.

From http://www.dividingline.com/private/Philosophy/Philosophers/Barth/barth.shtml

Karl Barth, b. Basel, Switzerland, May 10, 1886, d. Dec. 9, 1968, is considered by some the greatest Protestant theologian of the 20th century and possibly the greatest since the Reformation. More than anyone else, Barth inspired and led the renaissance of theology that took place from about 1920 to 1950. Barth studied at the universities of Bern, Berlin, Tubingen, and Marburg and held pastorates in Switzerland between 1909 and 1921. During this time, he became known as a radical critic both of the prevailing liberal theology and of the social order. Liberal theology, Barth believed, had accommodated Christianity to modern culture. The crisis of World War I was in part a symptom of this unholy alliance. In Barth’s famous commentary on Romans (1919), Barth stressed the discontinuity between the Christian message and the world. God is the wholly other; he is known only in his revelation; he is not the patron saint of culture, but its judge.

You scored as Anselm. Anselm is the outstanding theologian of the medieval period.He sees man's primary problem as having failed to render unto God what we owe him, so God becomes man in Christ and gives God what he is due. You should read 'Cur Deus Homo?'
