Take this quiz to find out what theologian you are.  Pretty interesting:

Me:

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?'

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.

Paul Tillich 33% Does this mean I am saved?  Dave this was fun but also frustrating at the same time. The questions were written in such fashion as to force me into a viewpoint that in my mind doesn't even exist.  Dave having a medieval veiwpoint is a good thing? If theology is the basis of social consciousness then you are in the dark ages my friend!  Hey 'Gimme that ole time religion! It's good enough for me!"

I don't know.
But this  means that you can't spell.

Hi fellow theologians!  8)

   I took the test and was judged to be Karl Barth.  I have several of his books and would say he is the father of neo-evangelicalism.

   I can't say I'm a Neo, but he does take some strong shots at Liberals, and that makes him okay in my book! ;)

                                                     God Bless,  Mark C.

Since my score came out a tie between Karl Barth and Martin Luther, the quiz program asked me another question about whether salvation by faith alone or Christ being the starting point of theology was more important.  Since neither can be dispensed with, I was stumped until I considered that some people play word games and weaken the expression "salvation by faith" since it doesn't explicitly state the object of faith.

Dave M.

I normally enjoy your posts, but the last one on this thread shows a bigotry that surprised me. (In referring to Dave S's "being Anselm"). You seemed to be saying that since Anselm lived in Medieval times he must be a benighted soul. This is a presupposition made by many moderns--and mostly liberals I might add--that just because a person lived centuries ago they are not as smart as us 21st Century sophisticates. Hubris extrordinaire, that.

The Medieval age produced some very dark things, but also some of the most beautiful art and architecture and lives humanity has seen. Certainly they didn't know then what we know now, but theirs are the shoulders we are standing on (to steal a metaphor). Sure they didn't know how they got and transferred bubonic palgue, but look at us. We know how to get and transferr AIDS and yet Africa rots with it. Are we better than they are?

Dave, I know you were just ribbing Dave S. in a friendly way, but I have heard this kind of argument too often. You should read the book In A World Lit Only By Fire.
Great chronicaling of the achievements made by those "Benighted souls."
