I am John Wesley
I have just taken a quiz on facebook which is said to be scarily accurate. It asks you lots of questions and then tells you which famous theologian you are.
I am John Wesley
I do love John Wesley but I think it is a big stretch to suggest that my theology is a lot like his. After all, I am not an Arminian and that was kind of important to old Johnny W. I believe, unlike Wesley, in things like unconditional election and irresistable grace. I always imagined that I was a bit more like Calvin (although not that much like him either).
Oh well - Wesley it is.
That said, I am flattered to be compared to a Christian theologian that fabulous. It is he who is diminished by association with me, not vice versa.

I suppose it's too much to ask that N. T. Wright be included in the list of options . . .
Barth firmly denied that he was a universalist so perhaps you are OK. Still - Barth was not very Arminian. Perhaps you and I can swap. I'll be Barth and you be Wesley.
That said - I saw all the 'Barth' options along the way and avoided them because the result would have been too obvious. I wanted a surprise. I got one.
