What is your hermeneutical bent?

I discovered Scot McKnight’s Hermeneutics Quiz today. It asks a series of questions regarding how you view certain issues relating to scripture and its relationship to the modern world and then you rank your position on a scale of 1-5. The results place you in one of there categories: conservative, moderate, or progressive. I scored a 52 which puts me at the limits of conservative, one point off from being a moderate. Obviously, twenty questions a hermeneutic does not make, but I would much rather be conservative than progressive so it got that right :) . For more information on the quiz see this Christianity Today Leadership Journal page. I think its most valuable contribution is to get people to think about why they hold the scriptural interpretations they do and how they hold it in relation to others who read the Bible with a different viewpoint and/or agenda.

  1. Yikes … 77, I landed on progressive. Maybe I should attend Ambrose and ACTS instead of those liberal schools … hahaha.

  2. I scored 54. A conservative-moderate. I hope I won’t get kicked out from my denomination!
