Preaching Plagiarism
by Dr. David Lose, The Marbury Anderson Chair in Biblical Preaching

Preaching PlagiarismThe year before I enrolled in seminary I taught at a prep school in Indiana.  In mid-April the school celebrated Parents' Weekend, one of the major events of the school year.  The chapel that Sunday morning was packed, and I knew the chaplain was under pressure to deliver a great sermon. And he did - it was well-crafted, worked creatively with the text, and proclaimed the gospel in a way that was both moving and accessible. It was, in short, a big hit with both the kids and their parents. Read more.

What is at stake when we claim the need for biblical preaching? What difference does biblical preaching make for our congregations, our communities and for the church in the world? Read more.
