So, this (they say) is me:
You scored as Premillenialist. Premillenialism believes that there will be a rapture and tribulation before Jesus returns and overthrows the antichrist and establishes his Kingdom. Current events are spoken of in scripture.

Glad you enjoyed it... yeah, the reference to Jurgen Moltmann and his upbeat eschatology is sort of odd... I suppose it was the preterist leaning answers I gave that tipped the QuizFarm dial towards the "optimistic" zone, but that's definitely not my outlook. I'm a confirmed futurist and not banking on a golden age... I just happen to think it was normal for God to come in judgment in the past, as well as in the present and the big one coming down the pike. Decidedly amoltmannian.
Oh, and have a nice day :-)

More seriously, here is that site's definition:
"Jürgen Moltmann is one of the key eschatological thinkers of the 20th Century. Eschatology is not only about heaven and hell, but God's plan to make all things new. This should spur us on to political and social action in the present."

Clearly I am quite confused eschatologically speaking :-)
That, or you can get along with just about everybody. Or equally tick everyone off! (c;
What's puzzling me is the 35% Left Behind, over 20% Dispensationalist. How does that happen?!
Jurgen Moltmann is a modern experimental theologian... Tubingen... he's kinda hard to keep up on, especially for a guy like me, who is pretty much a dullard and not real interested in speculation.
Anyway, he was a German soldier, captured at the end of WWII and saw his buddies breaking down in the POW camp. The YMCA came through with Bibles and he started reading it and got saved. After his discharge, he began studying with Karl Barth and was pretty much neo-orthodox. However, he parted with Barth and ended up with Wolfhart Pannenberg... got more Evangelical (I think).
Cut to the chase... he became professor of Systematic Theology and developed a "theology of hope." It's his unique view, but it would look, smell and sound a lot like post-millennialism... sort of a "realized eschatology" in which Christ is reigning and things are lookin' up. So, he is naturally pretty ecumenical.
Now, as to why he gets highlighted on the quiz, I have no clue except that his theology books were hugely popular in the '90s and you can find them all over in used bookstores... my guess is that your average liberal arts type was exposed to him and thought he was a good marker. If you answered questions on the quizz in any sort of a preterist fashion, I suppose that triggered the Moltmannian thing.
There, now was that confusing enough :-)

only 65% of me got "left behind", Ill be honest i am not a fan of the books. Oh and just an interesting fact. I did not know some one could believe in amillenialism (or for that fact what it is) till a couple of years ago me and my nieve nature. but i must say if there is any where i am open to changing it is here. But i still doubt i am going to change.
Wow, am I your only commenting reader who is radically different? Hey, and I enjoy your blog too! (And I credit you when credit is due on my own blog - not some "other" name!) :+)

I used to own preterism.com (before it was hijacked by the Hymenaeans) so I don't know how I scored in the premill/dispy categories at all! The questions just weren't worded very well and the author SvenSvenSven must have been influenced by Moltmann (whom I've NEVER heard of!).
Calvinistic Dispies. Who would have thunk it?!?
