Long ago and far away at Trintiy Bible College, on the windswept praries of North Dakota, Hermeneutics was my favorite class...taught by Dr. James Hernando...and I got a B and I was not happy about it...and...well:
Here is a quiz that might shed a bit of light on your view of scriptural interpretation. I scored a 56 which puts me in the "moderate" camp.
No surprise! Middle of the road....on everything...to a fault...that's me. I have no idea if that is good or bad.

Our scores were the same--so moderate it is.
Another Ivy! Thank you for stopping by. And Lutherans are expected to be moderate. Pentecostals are assumed to be part of the religious right conservative bunch. ;-) Oh well, it is my latent Lutheran coming out again perhaps. That's what I call the me that loves candles, stained glass, and pipe organs. LOL! And btw, I love your blog title!
I scored 45 -- conservative it is (but with moderate understanding in some issues). Very interesting. Thank you for this.
I remember thinking you had liturgical tendencies when I read your FOH posts. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Peace.
I scored a 52, it said I fall on the conservative side. Interesting! (I thought I'd fall farther on the conservative side, though.)
Just took the quiz - got a 44, but found the questions poorly worded, and was sometimes pushed into an answer that didn't really reflect my views (i.e. Capital punishment: good because the OT commanded it or bad because we are no longer under the law - but I think there is a strong place for it, just not biblically-based) ...
I would tend to think of myself as fairly conservative, so it does reflect that correctly. In some ways, however, I am quite progressive in that I believe in inspiration and inerrancy, but I also believe that the inspired and inerrant Word was written by men who lived in a culture, and that understanding that culture is important to knowing what was truly being written ... my understanding of words written 2 -3 thousand years ago is not guaranteed to be inerrant!
