Click the link at the bottom of the graph to take the quiz. It’s not really a test, but a question of opinions. Here are my scores:

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?’

    My results were 100 percent John Calvin. Interesting.

    Anselm was also at the top of my list with 93 percent.

    Surprisingly, Calvin is at the top of my list. Anselm finished 6th, although he probably looks most like me.

    I rated most like Anselm.

    Apparently Anselm and I would have been separated at birth had we lived in the same era. Scored 100 with him, with a high (87) dose of Calvin and a healthy (53) overtone of Finney.

    Which theologian are you?
    You scored as a 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.
