Here’s a short theology quiz on the doctrine of man. (I suppose to be politically correct, I should call it the doctrine of human beings or humankind or something, but that just sounds silly.) All the answers can be found in Theological Term of the Week posts under the Anthropology category, either in the posts themselves or in articles linked in the posts. This can be an open book test, if you want; but if it were me, I’d rather test myself to see how I do without help.

As in all the other theology quizzes, the right answers will reflect the historic Protestant (aka reformedish) faith. Look for answers on Friday.
