What kind of theologian are you?

Given the options, it could have been a lot worse. After all, Moltmann was a big influence on Latin American liberation theology, we like parts of Tillich's Systematic theology (especially Volume III), Political Expectation and the Protestant Era (on the other hand, we've always thought that The Courage to Be was overrated and yes, we know Tillich was a pervert), and Schleiermacher's On Religion is a classic. Not sure, however, where the 2o% of Calvin came in.

You scored as Jurgen Moltmann. The problem of evil is central to your thought, and only a crucified God can show that God is not indifferent to human suffering. Christian discipleship means identifying with suffering but also anticipating the new creation of all things that God will bring about.

katia, the link was working earlier today. give it a shot tomorrow.

l>t, we
ve heard this from various sources deemed reliable - from multiple affairs with students (which doesn't necessarily qualify someone as a perv) to rather weird porn (such as naked women on crosses...)

The rumours about Tillich's perversions come from his wife's truly weird biography that she published shortly after Tillich's death. No one else that knew Tillich has supported her rather outrages claims. Clearly, their marriage was not a happy one, but Hannah clearly had some issues of her own.

Check out this interview with Tillich's friend Rollo May conducted shortly after the publication of Hannah's book.

Btw, I personally always thought ST III was the weakest part of the system...
