My Hermeneutical Score

I finally found the hermeneutical quiz that Scot McKnight posted for LeadershipJournal.net. It was a fun quiz. It scored a 48 which is a hermeneutical conservative–but on the moderate side of the scale as I am only 5 points from being a hermeneutical moderate. Here is how the quiz defines a conservative:

First, the conservative hermeneutic group scores 52 or lower. The strength of this view is its emphasis on the authority, ongoing and normative authority, of all of Scripture. It tends to operate with the line many of us learned in Sunday school: “If the Bible says it, that settles it.” Such persons let the Bible challenge them with full force. Literal readings lead to rather literal applications. Most of the time.
