anselm who? or my "Lutheran" college education has failed me

[blistermoth]

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?' </td> Anselm 67% Friedrich Schleiermacher 60% Karl Barth 60% John Calvin 53% Jonathan Edwards 53% Charles Finney 53% Augustine 40% Martin Luther 40% Jürgen Moltmann 33% Paul Tillich 27% Which theologian are you? created with QuizFarm.com

your lowest score is my highest. i like these theological quizzes, though this one was hard to reply to (for me).

I've definitely taken quizzes with better written questions.

weird, me too. I would have sworn on being Karl Barth, but this might reflect what point I'm at in my seminary education, just having finished a healthy dose of medieval church history;)

I got Jürgen Moltmann, but it was actually a three-way tie between him, St. Anselm, and John Calvin. This makes my brain hurt.

Ach! Anselm totally rocks! You really should read him, maybe especially for the experience of digging in to his Ontological Argument for the existence of God. Which settles the question. Or is totally stupid. Depends on the day of the week, but it's like having a philosophical computer virus in your head once you understand it: you can't get away from how fascinating it is!

Alright, now I'm going to take the exam, although I'm a theologian myself and there doesn't seem to be any leeway for that here. And "Thomas Aquinas" (or any of the Cappadocians, or Origen) aren't options, which makes this totally biased.... :-)

I can bareful understand what Wikipedia says about him (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontological_argument)!

Huh--that's a thorough article! But yes, it's a mind-bender at first.
