[Rev. Nick Quient @NickQuient]

Hello, my new followers. Since that random post went viral (well, viral *for me*), I figured I’d introduce myself and give you a chance to unfollow.

I’m ordained American Baptist.

I’m Wesleyan in most things sans baptism and ecclesiology.

I’m evangelical, egalitarian, and hold to a traditional sexual ethic.

I’m basically a New Testament theologian.

Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox are fellow Christians, and I love talking with serious folks in those sides of the Christian family.

My first two degrees were film degrees, so you may get the occasional movie take.

I’m married to Allison and we’re mom and dad to a five year old and a soon-to-be-born little one.

I pastor in the Greater Los Angeles area.

I homebrew.

My PhD (ABD) is on the New Testament and Universal Salvation (no, not a universalist).

I have too much grey in my beard.

I’m also buds with @thechurchsplit and @DPGBehler and @jdpritchett so you can tell my sense of humor is broken.

Nice to meet y’all.

@SonOfGuire Huh. I didn’t see it on his page.

[Rev. Nick Quient @NickQuient]

Did Wes Huff’s apology video get deleted?

[Rev. Nick Quient @NickQuient]

Ruslan deleted his post as well

I think this is a really bad take. It does look like Wes actually plagiarized. That isn’t “forgot my citations 10 years ago.”

[Rev. Nick Quient @NickQuient]

@YeFutureSaint @Brosephos Just trying to be truthful.

[Rev. Nick Quient @NickQuient]

@Brosephos @YeFutureSaint I prefer b-tier prot

[Rev. Nick Quient @NickQuient]

@bmbell71 @DPGBehler Arrogance? I prefer mildly confident when not dealing with imposter syndrome

[Rev. Nick Quient @NickQuient]

@jdpritchett @golfnpreacher @JoshRKlein Yeah

[Rev. Nick Quient @NickQuient]

Honestly, from Wes, that seems like an underwhelming non-apology to what looks like real plagiarism.

Context matters, but the documents authored by Wes appear to contain overtly plagiarized materials throughout. Focusing on academia and your email is not the main issue.

A final point. This isn’t about canceling. I’m not a fan of that. It is about academic standards and integrity and accountability. As a Christian, this matters and I know it matters to Wes.

@DPGBehler @bmbell71 My heart left my body when you retweeted me, big dog

[Rev. Nick Quient @NickQuient]

@ProvisionistP This should be obvious

[Rev. Nick Quient @NickQuient]

@dfwatson3 Now we can move on to a soft exit for Q

[Rev. Nick Quient @NickQuient]

Whoa. Probably the hardest hit this season.

[Spittin' Chiclets @spittinchiclets]

GOOD LORD WHAT A HIT 😳

[Rev. Nick Quient @NickQuient]

@DanielParFour @troywojick But I’m not an expert in OT stuffs

[Rev. Nick Quient @NickQuient]

@DanielParFour @troywojick Genesis can’t hurt, with anything written by John Goldingay.

[Rev. Nick Quient @NickQuient]

@TheEmpireSon Thank you

[Rev. Nick Quient @NickQuient]

@LeahHalan That’s a leap.

[Rev. Nick Quient @NickQuient]

@revruck I get that.

[Rev. Nick Quient @NickQuient]

@LeahHalan Should he hop on a cross?

No. It’s already been done before.
