What does this say about me? I had no idea I would relate to Martin Luther... Lol.

[Pentecost]

CP, yeah, I think I've heard of an East, I think it's on the otherside of West Virginia.

[Cow Poke]

What? There's an EAST?

[KingsGambit]

Agreed; it's egregious to completely ignore the East.

If the questions were different, the score could very well be different.


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.

Eh, I got Karl Barth. I suppose he's closest, but I'm more "none of the above." Not a very good quiz, since it utterly ignores the East. Augustine (at least) is also skewed toward a Protestant interpretation of his teachings.

I used to purposely pronounce the "th" in Barth in one of my classes, because that professor made the mistake of revealing how much he was annoyed by that. (I wouldn't have done that in Hebrew or Greek, or any other "challenging" class, so it must have been in my "Teachings of Jesus" class)


(just before I hit "post" I noticed I said Garth instead of Barth )

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?'

[KingsGambit]

I got Barth. I'm mainly just glad I didn't get Bultmann or something (I don't think he was an option anyway).

[Theistic-Student]

I agreed with that statement because I knew what they were going for, but that question really irritated me!

[Paprika]

I haven't done the quiz, because I get stuck at and irritated by such questions. My thoughts begin "By the common-sensical understanding of exist, God clearly exists, but clearly His mode of existence differs from creation's..." and conclude "this quiz sucks."

[Theistic-Student]

My thoughts exactly. Questions needed to be clearer.

[robrecht]

Paul Tillich. Unfortunately, John Scottus Eriugena doesn't seem to have been an option.

[Paprika]

Some questions could use clarification. For instance, what does the author mean by "exist"? Or "Holy Spirit revival"? Or "eschatology"?

[Theistic-Student]

So I took it again and got Anselm this time.
