I took the “Which theologian are you?” Quiz

Last Updated June 27, 2005 by Matt Leave a Comment

Not surprisingly, I scored as Karl Barth. When we were studying Karl Barth in Church History last semester, I had to write the reading summary on him for the class (Which meant that was the only chapter in the book I read all semester. Unless Dr. Johnson is reading this blog. In which case, I meant to say, “I loved Olson. I read it cover to cover.”). It worked out really well because as I read about him, I was like, “Hey, this is me!” Well, mostly. I liked Barth a lot. I didn’t know I was neo-orthodox until I had to write that reading summary on him.

It’s a little disconcerting knowing that I am more of a Schleiermacher than an Augustine. I liked Augustine a lot. Thankfully, Finney was on the bottom of my list. But heck, what do those quizzes know?

Here’s the results from my quiz:

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

87%

Anselm

73%

John Calvin

73%

Friedrich Schleiermacher

67%

Paul Tillich

60%

J?Moltmann

Augustine

47%

Martin Luther

Charles Finney

So, for some reason the picture isn’t showing up any more. But it was earlier. Drats to Blogger. I’m gonna leave it in its totally depraved state in hope that it will one day be redeemed. Until then, it can only hope for perfection.
