Apologist Wes Huff Responds to Plagiarism Allegations; Website Offline, Videos Removed, Board Review Underway
Prominent Christian apologist Wes Huff responded on Nov. 13 to plagiarism allegations. Dan McClellan, a Mormon Bible scholar, posted a one-hour video on Nov. 8 accusing Huff of plagiarizing Brian J. Wright's 2010 paper "Jesus as ΘΕΟΣ: A Textual Examination" in his own 2016 Tyndale Seminary paper, "Christological Claims: A Textual Consideration of John's Gospel," saying the two closely mirror each other in multiple places. Huff responded on the afternoon of Nov. 13 in a post on X, pledging to take full responsibility and saying he is working closely with his pastor, his church's session, and the board of Apologetics Canada on the matter, and will make no further public comment while the review is underway. Huff's website has been taken offline and his YouTube videos removed; his channel has more than 1 million subscribers and about 85 million views, and Huff serves as vice president of Apologetics Canada. The Apologetics Canada board said in a statement on Nov. 13 that it is carefully reviewing the matter and will share an update when the review is complete. Huff's family is currently facing a medical emergency involving their 3-year-old daughter; Josh Howerton, pastor of Lakepointe Church in Rockwall, Texas, defended Huff's character.
