Which 20th-Century Theologian Are You?

From Karl Barth's bombshell Romans commentary in 1922 to the close of the century—these were the years modern theology faced its hardest tests. Two world wars, Auschwitz, decolonization, civil rights, Vatican II, the lynching tree and the Letter from Birmingham Jail, the death of God and the death of Christendom, base communities and womanist wisdom, the Spirit poured out on all flesh from Lima to Pyongyang. Fifty figures stretch across this map: dialectical Protestants and ressourcement Catholics, liberation theologians and Eastern Orthodox apophaticists, womanists and postliberals, Native American theologians of place, Christian Platonist mystics, Reformed anarchists, evangelical inerrantists and process panentheists.

Thirty-five 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.
