Interesting. Can you elaborate on the distinction?

(I'm not familiar with the Gnostic Christ's achievements.)

I think the contention (for me) is that although #1 is true I do not 
think...

3) Wolfe necessarily sees Severian as a *figurative* stand-in for the 
Jesus he believes in.

The figurative worlds of Severian and Silk are Gnostic ones not 
Judeo-Apostolic ones. Those protagonists act, and achieve, within their 
worlds as the Gnostic Christ does. Not as the Johanine Christ acts.
