I just took the "theologian quiz" that Nick Norelli mentioned on his blog today. I was surprised by the fact that it suggested that of all theologians, I had the most in common with Charles Finney (this is certainly a bit off). I was also suprised to see John Calvin's name show up. I wasn't surprised, however, by the fact that I crossed paths with Tillich, Moltmann and Barth (I tend to move within that cloud of witnesses). Anyways, you should give the quiz a go (it takes less than 5 minutes--and is probably not all that accurate but, nonetheless...). Here are my results and the quiz link is below:
 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Which theologian are you? created with QuizFarm.com | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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.

ReplyDeletei, of course, don't know anything about charles finney other than this little blurb at the end of your quiz. and judging from that--"you're passionate about God and love to preach the Gospel"--i think it sounds like you!
i had to look up "pelagianism"...and that part, not so much.
Interesting babe,
ReplyDeleteYou're closer to Calvin than I would have thought :) I wonder if it's only these 10 people on the quiz...I guess so (it's the same 10 in my list too). I'm not sure how Barth and Calvin can be tied; almost seems oxymoronic to me.
By the way, good to see that you've finally found my blog :)
ReplyDeleteHey Michael!
ReplyDeleteFun Quiz - Where is John Cobb? I was a dead on tie between Moltmann and Schleirmacher, Hmmm...maybe.
Frankly, I would prefer if there were women in the mix. I would guess that I would be a cross between Rosemary Ruether and Sallie McFague.
John,
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the quiz. I couldn't agree more about the women thing. I'd probably have a fair amount of those two ladies' theology mixed in with my score as well.
Hey John,
ReplyDeleteIs there any way you can add a "feed" to your 7Hills site? I'd like to add it to my site reader so that I can keep up with you when you make a new post.
