Inspired by a post on tallskinnykiwi’s site, I headed over to the QuizFarm and let myself be analyzed with the question “Which theologian are you?” I wasn’t really surprised when Anselm of Canterbury turned up as the closest match. I’ve always been impressed with his writings, particularly Cur Deus Homo. While — and here I send greetings to my emerging friends — I do not necessarily think that justification and atonement are the only important features of the Gospel message, I still think they’re the central ones and Anselm, with his satisfaction theory, hit the nail right on the head when he attempted to define the central purpose of the atonement.
Anyway, if you’re interested, you can see all of my results below:

I did have the impression that the survey seemed familiar. And, behold, looking through my archives, I found that I already took the test once before:

Back the, I turned out to be “Wesleyan holiness-evangelical”, which didn’t even make it into the top ten this time. So, here’s to an evolving theologian
