Richard Beck, a psychology professor at ACU who blogs at Experimental Theology, just posted a link to a quiz entitled, "Are you a Christian hipster?" (http://www.hipsterchristianity.com/quiz.php), which is a companion to an upcoming book, Hipster Christianity by Brett McCracken. I got a 90/120, which defines me as a "hipster Christian." The result says, "Extremely High CHQ. Congratulations! You are a grade A, Sufjan-caliber Christian hipster! You probably like Thomas Merton, hookah, and lectio divina. You're not above self-critique and meta theory, and thus should definitely read Hipster Christianity.."
I don't know quite how I feel about the result. It appears as though the quiz is simply saying I'm a 20 something who grew up in a time where I was taught to care about the environment, distrust the Left Behind series and megachurches, and care about war/peace/justice issues, but I've never really seen myself as a hip person. I'm curious to see what some of you would get on this quiz--especially some of you professor types who are old enough to be my parents.
I'm going to look more into this upcoming book; possibly more on the topic to follow.
