Interesting, but I didn't find the distinctions helpful in all cases. For instance, #1 seemed to represent to me a multifaceted explanation of the same phenomena. Why could not God have inspired in confluence with the authors who were speaking from within a community and its traditions to sacramentally lead us to God? The same with #2. What is wrong with the Bible being God's exact words that he wanted to use to convey a timeless message requiring interpretation and contextualization to be lived in every age? When one looks at a leaf through a microscope or as it is held in the hand or from a distance as part of a tree (or even a forest), the perspective alters what we see, but the leaf is the same. I get the feeling from many of these questions, that we are given a microscope, handheld, and panoramic view and asked to choose which one is meaningful.

An interesting and thought provoking test. I would have preferred more choices for some of the questions - or a "none of the above" choice. BTW, I scored 55.

An interesting, if simplistic, quiz. It does not measure very well the implications which arise from a person holding to a high view of Scripture (inerrancy/inspiration) while adhering to a biblical theology approach to theological method; an understanding of the historical situatedness of the interpretive process; the Analogy of the Faith; semantic range in linguistic study, etc.
