What's your theological worldview?
Supposedly, this is mine:
 You scored as Emergent/Postmodern. You are Emergent/Postmodern in your theology. You feel alienated from older forms of church, you don’t think they connect to modern culture very well. No one knows the whole truth about God, and we have much to learn from each other, and so learning takes place in dialogue. Evangelism should take place in relationships rather than through crusades and altar-calls. People are interested in spirituality and want to ask questions, so the church should help them to do this.

Update: After looking at a bunch of other survey results from others in my Blogroll, I’ve come to find that I probably have a higher “fundamental” standing than anyone else. Strange. Kind of makes me chuckle.

A hard quiz for me, since I often agreed with half of a statement and disagreed with the other half (which makes this a textbook example of bad quiz design). But it was fun.

I was wondering why the quiz seemed a bit “difficult” to me… But, then again, maybe I do lean that far fundamental.

I kinda doubt it! But a few cases in point:
There is little or no human element in the Bible, it is a divine book
I get the point of this one, but isn’t it possible that it’s a divine book that also has a strong human element?
Dialogue is preferable to direct confrontation
Often, dialog is a form of direct confrontation. Is the crux here meant to be action vs words? If so, the same problem exists: speaking/writing is a mode of action.
Inner experience is key to understanding God and is a good assurance that he exists
You could certainly support the idea that — given the existence of God — that inner experience is a key to understanding. But claiming inner experience as proof of existence is an entirely seperate question.

Hehe… True on all accounts!
(Maybe we should come up with a better quiz, eh?)

I cracked up to think that you are more of a fundamentalist than me. Ha!

Most people do think of me as a bible-thumping, stick-to-the-rules type of guy, don’t they?
