Since a commenter mentioned NT Wrong<\/a>, I thought I ought to comment on what I think the new NT Wrong franchise<\/a> represents, having quite possibly been involved in inspiring it<\/a>. I think it is to the original NT Wrong what the Pastoral Epistles and other such pseudepigraphal works are to the authentic Pauline corpus \u2013 except that in this case the author of the original works is himself pseudonymous. I view the new blog as a tribute to a hero of biblioblogdom, and not as an attempt to replace, impersonate or otherwise detract from the Wrong legacy.<\/p>\n

For the sake of clarity I propose that the designation \u201c+Wrong\u201d be used for the current and all subsequent holders of the Wrongian bishopric. It seems appropriate \u2013 since it connotes \u2018additions to the Wrongian corpus\u2019 as well as \u201cRev. Wrong\u201d \u2013 and it is far less cumbersome than \u2018Pseudo-Wrong\u2019, \u2018Deutero-Wrong\u2019 or (far worse) \u2018Second Wrong\u2019, \u2018Third Wrong\u2019 and so on ad infinitum.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure that, as with Paul and Star Trek, there will be those who say that only the original was any good. But in an era that has witnessed reboots of Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, Knight Rider and Bionic Woman (among others), surely it is in keeping with the spirit of our era to attempt a reboot of NT Wrong as well, is it not? And if (like Glen A. Larson in the case of BSG) the original NT Wrong wishes to be a consultant on the new venture, I am confident his input would be welcomed!<\/p>\n

But whether you prefer old Wrong, new Wrong, or manage to appreciate both, do pay the blog a visit<\/a>, leave a comment to express your appreciation or disapproval, and speculate about who is behind it \u2013 a passtime sorely missed in the biblioblogosphere in recent months!<\/p>\n
