There was, in my view, a lot of "gray area." There also needed to be better clarification of phrases, as some of the gray areas, needed to be defined better. Finally the assessment appeared to have a fair amount of bias to it from the author, which became a reason for the "gray areas," and lack of clarification of phrases, and incomplete definitions.

My score was on the upper end of moderate. However, I wonder if the test isn't quite culturally specific, underscoring the kinds of things that evangelicals and conservatives talk about and discuss in America. How do Christians who are also Europeans or Africans or Asians answer the same questions? Further, what about the denominational or scholastic tradition of someone taking the test? I would expect graduates of certain seminaries to score in a range that reflects what they have been taught at their school or in their denomination.

This quiz is unfairly written. As an Anglican, much of what I believe is traced back to the early church, and in some cases, directly to the Apostles. However, this quiz is written from a solely Protestant Evangelical persective, and therefore encorperates only traditions and interpretations that have been created since the Reformation, or, perhaps, the Evangelical movement of the mid-ninteenth century. I commend the writers for challenging the contemporary church on their knowledge of the interpretation of Scripture, but caution them against making any kind of statement pertaining to the ancient beliefs and practices of congregations outside of their immediate sphere of influence. Remember, there has never been a generation which agreed entirely on the interpretation of Scripture. Even the Apostles had differing views from time to time.
