<H2>Doug Wilson and slavery </H2>
<P>Southern Slavery: As it Was, a booklet defending slavery as biblically
viable, has roused considerable controversy since its release in 1996. Critics
of co-authors Douglas Wilson and Steve Wilkins have added to their
content-driven charges of racism and shoddy history one <SPAN
style="COLOR: black; BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,255,255)">more</SPAN><SPAN
style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,255,255)"> </SPAN>accusation: plagiarism.
</P>
<P>The text failed 24 times to attribute word-for-word quotations pulled from
the 1974 book Time on the Cross: The Economics of American Negro Slavery by
Robert William Fogel and Stanley L. Engerman. University of Washington history
professor Tracie McKenzie, who attends a Seattle-area church connected to Mr.
Wilson's Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, easily recognized the stolen sections
because he teaches on the work of Mr. Fogel and Mr. Engerman. </P>
<P>Concerned with both plagiarism and the content of Southern Slavery, Mr.
McKenzie drafted a response pointing out what he saw as poor historical
conclusions and detailing the plagiarized sections. </P>
<P>After reviewing Mr. McKenzie's document, Mr. Wilson pulled Southern Slavery
from the shelves in 2003 with the intent of correcting attribution oversights
for a second edition. Now set for publication in the coming months under the
title Black and Tan, the 150-page new edition reduces Southern Slavery to a
single chapter and adds other essays on slavery, culture war, and Scripture in
America. Mr. Wilson told WORLD the original thesis that slavery wasn't bad
enough to justify violent abolitionism remains prominent. </P>
<P>The absence of plagiarism may not quiet opposition. University of Idaho
philosophy professor Nick Gier collected the endorsements of 45 local
academics for a widely circulated flier condemning the plagiarism. Steve
Wilkins, pastor of Auburn Avenue Presbyterian Church in Monroe, La., admits to
authoring every plagiarized section: "It wasn't [Mr. Wilson's] doing. It was
my fault, not his fault." </P>
<P>Nevertheless, Mr. Wilson, who edited the booklet, has taken the brunt of
the criticism. The charges fuel an ongoing spat between Christ Church and the
Moscow community, a quarrel to which Mr. Wilson admits his blunt style has
contributed, but one he blames <SPAN
style="COLOR: black; BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,255,255)">more</SPAN> heavily
on community intolerance: "This is the first issue where we deserve the lump
on our head. There's no question it was wrong and inappropriate." </P>
<P>Canon Press, a ministry of Christ Church and publisher of Southern Slavery,
issued a letter of apology to the publisher of Time on the Cross, and no legal
action appears imminent. </P>
