Product Description

When we quote long passages from others' sermons---or preach them in their entirety---are we plagiarizing? With easy access to online sermons and little time for personal preparation, many pastors resort to borrowing material, sometimes passing it off as their own. Gibson explores the ethical implications and offers practical advice for pastors and congregations. 128 pages, softcover from Zondervan.

Publisher's Description

With easy access to sermons on the Internet, plus pressure to deliver the next sermon with little time to prepare, no wonder some pastors have resorted to plagiarizing other people’s sermons, passing them off as their own. This growing epidemic has received coverage in the Wall Street Journal, on National Public Radio, and elsewhere. Some pastors have been caught in the act and dismissed from their churches. Is this fair? Is this stealing? How can you recognize it? How can it be prevented? This book not only helps explain the problem, but it also explores the ethical implications and gives advice on how to avoid it or deal with it if the problem surfaces in your church. It includes study questions at the end of chapters and a concluding case study.
