A Conversation Piece

While meandering around the blog of Dr. Chris Spinks, I came across two quizzes that help people to understand the way that they think... The first results tables that I am printing are Whitney's results and the second two results pages are my results. (I had a horrible time with the html, so I apologize that everything isn't well fitting, but I think that you will get the idea.)

Whitney

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.

John Calvin

73%

Anselm

67%

Jürgen Moltmann

67%

Paul Tillich

53%

Martin Luther

47%

Augustine

33%

Karl Barth

33%

Friedrich Schleiermacher

27%

Charles Finney

27%

Jonathan Edwards

20%

Which theologian are you?

You scored as Emergent/Postmodern, You are Emergent-
Postmodern in your theology. You feel alienated from older forms of
church, you don't think they connect to modern culture very well.
No one knows the whole truth about God, and we have much to learn
from each other, and so learning takes place in dialogue. Evangelism
should take place in relationships rather than through crusades and
altar-calls. People are interested in spirituality and want to ask
questions, so the church should help them to do this.

Emergent/Postmodern

75%

Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan

64%

Roman Catholic

61%

Neo orthodox

54%

Charismatic/Pentecostal

39%

Reformed Evangelical

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?'

While some of the results were laughable, the quizzes were still enlightening to take! Just click on the links under the results and you will be taken to the website.

I also scored as Anselm and Emergent/Postmodern. I am not surprised by emergent, but I am a bit by Anselm...I was expecting more of a Barth influence. What do you think?

JBeck said...

Maybe the best place for Whitney was at Heritage. You got to love her John Calvin Theology. She should look into finding a reformed church in Cali.

Hah, I'm an Anselm Post-Modern?!

I'll have to look up who Anselm was!

As for post-modern, the Wesleyan and Reformed Evangelical came in as a close second and third. I guess I'm just typical of this era... a hodgepodge of stuff! 8-)

I scored as Jurgen Moltmann and so did Maija (although she was tied with Anselm). I guess we're big fans of suffering. We didn't take the other test.

Paul M. Pace said...

I took both tests, I tied with Calvin, Moltmann, and Anselm.
I scored first for Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan; second Postmodern; which makes sense to me.
Good tests, thanks to you both.

First quiz I came up Anselm then this:
What's your theological worldview?
You scored as a Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan

You are an evangelical in the Wesleyan tradition. You believe that God's grace enables you to choose to believe in him, even though you yourself are totally depraved. The gift of the Holy Spirit gives you assurance of your salvation, and he also enables you to live the life of obedience to which God has called us. You are influenced heavly by John Wesley and the Methodists.
Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan 82%
Neo orthodox 71%
Emergent/Postmodern 68%
Charismatic/Pentecostal 54%
Classical Liberal 50%
Roman Catholic 43%
Modern Liberal 36%
Reformed Evangelical 36%
Fundamentalist 36%

Now that is somewhat surprising considering my Presbyterian background. FIRST--CHRISTIAN then denomination/doctrine. love and God Bless GM
