[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

I can out Anselm, then Luther, then Calvin...

Me too. Is that bad?

[Gamecock]

I don't know what that means.

Denial?

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

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

[Dr. Eckleburg]

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.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

I am probably more associated with Arminius than Calvin

God willing, not for much longer. 8~)

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

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

[Gamecock]

Looks like I deserve to be the GRPL Pope!

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

[Alex Murphy]

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.

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.

[P-Marlowe]

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

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		100%
John Calvin		100%
Martin Luther		100%
Anselm		73%
Jonathan Edwards		60%
Friedrich Schleiermacher		33%
Charles Finney		27%
Jürgen Moltmann		13%
Augustine		13%
Paul Tillich		7%

[HarleyD]

That 27% for Finney wipes out all good works. :O)

[Gamecock]

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.

Charles Finney		100%
Paul Tillich		73%
Augustine		67%
Anselm		67%
Jürgen Moltmann		67%
Friedrich Schleiermacher		47%
Jonathan Edwards		40%
John Calvin		33%
Martin Luther		7%
Karl Barth		0%

Hey, I really am Catholic!

Who is this Barth fellow though?

-----------------------

[betty boop]

Hi A-G!!! here's me. I'm shocked I scored so low in the "Augustine department!"

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.

Karl Barth		100%
Anselm		87%

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.

[Theoden]

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?'
