Brothers, We Are Not Plagiarists: A Pastoral Plea to Forsake the Peddling of God’s Word

‘Dr. David Schrock has given careful thought to this malady that plagues the modern church. In an age when both written sermons and audio recordings of preaching are readily available, the wisdom that he shares in this small book is priceless. With scholarly precision and pastoral care, David explains and demonstrates what faithful expositors are called to do and must avoid doing. He writes as a practitioner who is very familiar with the challenges of using the insights of others when speaking publicly. As such, this book is not so much a critique of pulpit plagiarism as it is a positive manual of how to avoid it. His labors have served both churches and those under shepherds whose responsibility it is to feed them week by week by serving them the Word of God.’ Tom Ascol, Senior Pastor, Grace Baptist Church; President, Founders Ministries and The Institute of Public Theology

‘This book is a must read for every pastor and teacher. If this book does not stop the theft of other people's work, they will face God's judgment. Pastors and teachers have a higher standard. Schrock calls out pastors who steal from others and uses the stolen works in the pulpit. Yes plagiarism is theft, and a serious one, according to the Copyright Office of the Federal government. Schrock does a great job in discussing plagiarism. The book needs to be on every bookshelf of those who write or speak.’ Alonzo
