Which 18th–19th-Century Theologian Are You?
From Joseph Butler's Analogy in 1736 to Ernst Troeltsch's collapse of Liberal Protestantism on the eve of the Great War — these were the years modern theology was made. Forty-four figures stretch across this map: Reformed dogmaticians and Romantic mystics, Pietist revivalists and historical critics, Catholic modernists and Anglo-Catholic recoverers, Holiness preachers and Hegelian system-builders.
Thirty-two questions. Most are single-select; two are multi-select. The result places you on a constellation and gives you the figure whose theological profile most closely matches yours.
On many questions you'll find more than one option you can affirm in part — these figures often shared a common core, and what separates them is what they pressed hardest. Pick the statement you'd say most strongly, not just the one you could nod along with.
Be honest. The point is not to land somewhere flattering — it is to see where you actually are.
