Associated Baptist Press is reporting that Paul Negrut, the leader of European Baptists opposition to the Baptist World Alliance, has been accused of plagarizing eight chapters of his book on ethics book -- word-for-word.
Paige Patterson, chair of the board for Negrut's Bible Institute, says the board "finds no evidence whatsoever of plagiarism." They say Negrut was providing "readings" for his students. Few books of readings, however, count two-thirds of a textbook without attribution to the origianl author as a "reading." No mention was made whether other "readings" were included in the book.
Zondervan Publishing House, holder of the copyright for the book that was allegedly plagiarized, is "investigating the situation."
