I scored 53. It mis excellent opportunity to do a spiritual self assessment. I believe people are reading too much into the answers. I took the test as way of stimulating my thoughts aboit how I am interpreting the Word of God. May God be glorified.

Questions had limited answers. If you didn't agree w/ any, there was no other choice. I didn't realize it was depicting between conservative and liberal either or I wouldn't have wasted my time. I know I'm a conservative - I didn't need a quiz to tell me that. The questions also did not reflect New Covenant theology at all. We don't kill for adultry because of the New Covenant. We don't consider Saturday or Sunday a Sabbath day because of the New Covenant - Jesus is our Sabbath Rest. ...over and over New Testament theology was left out of the questions.

The quiz is an interesting idea, but it's a rather poorly designed instrument. For one thing, there are far too many false dichotomies for it to be useful. Why is understanding the historical context of a passage "progressive"? Why is recognizing the occasional nature of much of the Bible opposed to the idea of inerrancy? There's no inherent tension between the Bible being God's word for all time and our need to apply it contemporary settings. The relationship of the NT to the OT, how we apply God's timeless truth, and what we think it means that Christ has fulfilled the Law are serious and deep questions which go beyond simple labels like "conservative" and "progressive." I think this quiz only touches on these issues in a shallow, proof-texting kind of way. I think the quiz finally tells me more about McKnight's hermeneutics than mine.
