Which Theologian Are You?

Which Theologian Are You?

Postby Dan65802 » January 14th, 2008, 4:28 pm



An interesting quiz. I came out as Anselm of Canterbury. Kind of wish I'd come out as someone a little more recognizable.

…on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a fair green country under a swift sunrise.

How would telling people to be nice to one another get a man crucified? What government would execute Mister Rogers or Captain Kangaroo?

Anselm 80%
John Calvin 67%
Jürgen Moltmann 67%
Charles Finney 60%
Karl Barth 60%
Martin Luther 47%
Paul Tillich 40%
Jonathan Edwards 40%
Augustine 33%
Friedrich Schleiermacher 27%

These are my results. I'm surprised that Calvin is so high, but there was no question on pre-destination, which would have put Calvin further down my list. I just heard of Moltmann yesterday, when I read a quotation from him in another work -- I found the quotation very profound, and it was something that I can easily agree with, so I guess that's alright. :thinking:

Anselm, eh? I know the name, but very little about him.

I'm 86% Anselm, 60% Calvin. But really, what kind of theologian quiz doesn't have N.T. Wright as one of the options? :wink:

You scored as a 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?'
Anselm
100%
Karl Barth
80%
Friedrich Schleiermacher
60%
John Calvin
60%
Augustine
47%
Charles Finney
47%
Jürgen Moltmann
40%
Jonathan Edwards
27%
Paul Tillich
27%
Martin Luther
20%

I don't know Anselm, but medieval is OK by me. I don't know what Dan's problem is. . .

I'm pretty surprised that Luther was that low on my list. But then, I think James actually belongs to the NT.
