It's designed to raise the issue of hermeneutics and it's partially successful in doing so. Having said that, some of the questions are about matters of origin (authority and inspiration). Hermeneutics, on the other hand, is about interpretation. Why confuse the two?

The assessment's answers are not mutually exclusive. I scored 49 - conservative - but disagreed with even my own answers! For instance, I can feel that adultery "deserves" capital punishment, without thinking capital punishment must or should be imposed... that's GRACE! Similarly, Homosexual prohibition IS accurate, but CAN be handled with grace. Questions like "Context for reading the Bible is..." cannot be answered without allowing for both relational and universal consideration. Neither answer is accurate. That said, I feel like I didn't fall somewhere between 1 and 5 on many of the questions, because the assume contradiction among answers where there is none with a truly strict semantic set. Still, thanks for the exercise - I would like to see more assessments, but with more carefully chosen verbiage.

Kind'a silly to put everything into 2 or sometimes 3 poles. Doesn't leave any room for thoughts that are novel to the survey-writers. Not to be offensive, but the survey-writers are not the most broadly versed readers of contemporary nor historic Christianity. A fun quiz, but it felt more like something from People magazine on who to take to prom.
