The Wes Huff situation...

My two cents
Everyone is talking about Wes personally, but for me this kind of behavior is not actually that surprising for someone in his circles, and it's also not surprising that people in those same circles see no problem with what he's been doing consistently for a while.

This is actually one of the major reasons I became disillusioned with evangelicalism and came to see it for the shallow, poorly though out system that it actually is. What passes for "research" in these circles is really just reading books that affirm what you already decided to be true. "Researching" a topic means reading a bunch of books from people you agree with, and not actually being familiar with the source material.

I've had my doubts for some time that Wes is actually as familiar with the sources as he presents himself to be, due largely to the consistent pattern of drawing conclusions from then that aren't actually supportable.

And this is a problem because so many Christians encounter the early sources and the evidence in exactly this way: rather than actually familiarize themselves with the authentic works of the Church fathers or the archaeological evidence, they rely on second and third hand scholarship that allows then to believe they are consistent with early Christian teaching without ever critically examining their own positions.

In real scholarship we try to falsify our own assumptions, not force the evidence to support it. Wes is a comfortable figure for many Evangelical Protestants precisely because he tells them what they want to hear and allows their assumptions to remain unchallenged. It should come as no surprise to anyone who actually knows the sources that he's not actually the expert he presents himself to be.

And this is why this situation actually matters. Wes Huff, by presenting himself to be such an expert and stealing the work of others to further his own cause, is actively misleading people and hiding the Truth from them.

[Alex Sorin, Esq. @Alex_Ortodoxie]

He posted one of the papers to his website and passed it off as his own work.

Three years ago, he stole an infographic and put his own name on it and passed it off as if it were his own.

Eleven months ago, he stole Roman Helmet Guy’s analysis of the Odyssey and passed it off as if it were his own.

Just eleven months ago, he was still acting as if this is okay. The only reason he’s “apologizing” is because he got caught.

@AnglicanonMDiv Miscategorization, anglo. God does not simply hand your country back from foreigners when you push the God stuff aside.

Imagine Protestants discovering @JayDyer had been plagiarizing for years.

Would they suddenly become careful, charitable, and nuanced?

Of course not. They would tear him apart and seize the chance to smear the entire Orthodox Church.

[Christian Jim 👔 @ChristHalpert]

@FacingEast1 @ThyPaddyDaddy @JayDyer I’m old enough to remember the pearl clutching over the lone parish baptism fee.

Now it’s all, “erm we have more important issues than stealing and lying”

Ok I’ll bite. Who’s Wes Huff, and what does @HuffPost’s plagiarism have to do with Christianity?

Who was the first Protestant?

The Pope, of course.

The pope who added unilaterally to the creed. Sergius IV, in 1009.

And then the next pope who publicly confessed something that the church never confessed in the first thousand years in the creed.

These popes ands the subsequent popes were the first Protestants. They revolted against all of the other bishops, protesting and innovating, and did not listen to the Synods and Church, and started their own church, off on their own, apart from all their other brother bishops.

They became the prototypes of all the reformed Protestants who came later.

On Catholicism our Press has produced about 10 books over the past 5 years drawing on the sources - Fathers and saints - and conciliar decisions:

Incessant lying is a byproduct of a doctrine that tells you that you’re saved no matter what, at the moment when you’re justified by faith alone.
