Emergent/Postmodern Modern Liberal

Thanks to Kay, I have now taken the quizfarm quiz on "Theological Worldview" twice.

The first time I took it, I got:

You are a Modern Liberal. Science and historical study have shown so much of the Bible to be unreliable and that conservative faith has made Jesus out to be a much bigger deal than he actually was. Discipleship involves continuing to preach and practice Jesus’ measure of love and acceptance, and dogma is not important in today’s world. You are influenced by thinkers like Bultmann and Bishop Spong.

Well, I’ve never heard of Bultmann and I’ve heard of but never actually read Spong. But the basic characterization I have no quarrel with.

I didn't save the data on individual percentages for each point on the list. So tonight I took it again.

This time I got:

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.

Emergent/Postmodern 89%
Modern Liberal 86%
Classical Liberal 68%
Roman Catholic 43%
Neo orthodox 36%
Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan 29%
Charismatic/Pentecostal 29%
Reformed Evangelical 4%
Fundamentalist 0%

But that "Modern Liberal" is pretty close behind. Maybe some of my answers were just a bit more theistic this evening, vs. this afternoon.

Certainly it fits. I'm pretty sure the picture on the "emergent" page is of Marcus Borg, whom I've been reading voraciously and very much like.

Anyhow, I'm just getting this down for the record now. Perhaps I'll have more to say about this anon.
