what theologian are you?

just finished taking a test at http://quizfarm.com/test.php?q_id=7092N

it was a good exercise because it actually showed me how my theology has changed over the years. i'm sure i would have been matched with John Calvin 5 years ago... these days i'm no less concerned with the truth, but i'm not as quick to give 100% sure answers on theological questions, so to a serious theologian i would definitely be considered a liberal.

I 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?'

Very interesting! Anselm and Calvin were a tie for me. It could be very interesting to take this test together, or at least talk about the questions together.

I'm also happy to report that I'm not a heretic:

Oh Good... I'm not a heretic either. I was sweating that one out.

And my chart was almost identical to Randy's. So I guess we are soul mates after all.

I'm ready to start this alternative seminary any time guys... I needs to learn my theological junk for reals.
