Do you have to cite the person by name? Do you have to just mention, pambg said, " one commentator said"? I think any historical reference you give, it is assumed that you are reading somebody's work to get the info. I think a lot of stories likewise are obvious not to have originated with the preacher.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.challies.com/archives/002201.php#comments" REL="nofollow">JABBOK made a comment on Challies.com</A> saying that a pastor preaching for a seminary homelitics class used an Adrian Rogers sermon almost word for word and how sad this was. This is an example of something clearly wrong.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, there is a lot of situations that are easy to just say, that is wrong. Then when you start to try and communicate with people, citing someone just gets in the way. By the way, in the term paper world, we do cite as a footnote, not the main body. I have heard someone cite another pastor in a way it is not a footnote but the main body. I wonder if a bulletin insert with some citation references could give proper credit to where credit is due and yet at the same time keep it low key.pruittcommunicationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644765530747792593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816469.post-1163863281152575732006-11-18T10:21:00.000-05:002006-11-18T10:21:00.000-05:00Pambg,Thanks for pointing out that different audei...Pambg,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for pointing out that different audeinces have different desires. I find my high school boys in Sunday School want to find out theological terms, history, and be stumped so that they know they have learned something. My seniors who I lead in a home Bible study desire to share what they think about a passage. I'm not sure the difference is all based on age, but on academic background. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for you insightful comments.pruittcommunicationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644765530747792593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816469.post-1163842467102825922006-11-18T04:34:00.000-05:002006-11-18T04:34:00.000-05:00How I verbally cite a source in a sermon depends t...How I verbally cite a source in a sermon depends the person I'm citing and the congregation.<BR/><BR/>I've found that some congregations seem to feel put down by the constant citation of theologians, whereas other congregations are eager to know who said what. In the former case, I will say "One well-known theologian said..." or "One commentator said..." <BR/><BR/>I honestly don't think that not verbally naming the theologian, work and page number (grin!) every time is plagerism. Giving a sermon is not the same thing as writing an article or academic paper.<BR/><BR/>I really don't know how any preacher could simply take someone's sermon and pass it off as their own. I have certainly taken an idea or phrase and built a sermon around it, though.PamBGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324370506889227234noreply@blogger.com
