A case in point:<\/p>\n
In a recent post on Nick Cave<\/a> (in which Cave\u2019s music was obviously one source), we can see how an ecclesiastical redactor took the phrases \u201cpicks up on a\u201d \u201cnumber\u201d and \u201cGnostic motifs\u201d from a Catholic web site<\/a>, and wove them together, adding the words \u201cand Christian\u201d in order to provide a more orthodox slant. This editor is presumably also responsible for deriving the phrases \u201cmore mundane\u201d and \u201cmore spirit-filled\u201d from the Confessing Evangelical site<\/a>.<\/p>\n The possibility that NT Wrong is Nick Cave himself is also a possibility that deserves serious consideration, since it is Cave who is alleged to have woven together the Gnostic and mainstream orthodox Christian material in his songs. But we must still posit an ecclesiastical redactor with Evangelical leanings, since the standpoint NT Wrong is supposed to have would not assume that \u201cGnostic\u201d and \u201cChristians\u201d are alternative, opposing categories.<\/p>\n The challenge is thus to distinguish source from redaction. And so the key question now becomes: can we identify the ecclasiastical redactor, the ultimate author-editor of the NT Wrong blog?<\/p>\n Some have suggested that NT Wrong may be multiple people. He has been identified as a straight white male, and as a black lesbian woman. She has been identified as a scholar of Hebrew Bible, of the New Testament, of the Dead Sea Scrolls, or of Monty Python.
