Theological Worldviews and Existential Detectives
Categories : Movies, Philosophy, Quizzes, Religion |
Yet another quiz here that I just couldn’t resist doing (I even have a category for these quizzes now so I must be succumbing to the dark side). This one is ‘What’s Your Theological Worldview?’ and I found it via Simian’s blog. I’m pretty happy with the results, seems fairly accurate, although as always I’d like some definitions, especially of “Neo orthodox” (didn’t know Neo had his very own worldview category - lol) and “Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan.” I’m reasonably pleased that both modern liberal and fundamentalist rated quite lowly. I’m sure they could have found a better picture of McLaren though…
Anyway check it out for yourself - if nothing else the questions will make you think…

What's your theological worldview?

Actually speaking of post-modernism, I saw the weirdest movie last night “I Heart Huckabees” which is a tale about a disturbed 
young environmental activist who signs up to have himself investigated by a pair of ‘Existential detectives’ played by Dustin Hoffman and Lily Tomlin. This is a film that to understand you almost need a degree in Philosophy (which I wouldn’t mind actually - have been thinking recently about perhaps going back to uni to study philosophy and/or theology at some point…) - in fact it even has some philosophical in-jokes (like Kafka in the garbage bin). It’s the kind of movie that you will either love (like I did) or hate (like Jenni did) so watch it at your own risk, but if you like things a bit strange, existential and/or post-modern then this comedy might be right up your alley - “How am I not myself?”
