Even in academic spaces, the ontology of plagiarism is contested, but it is even more so in Protestant evangelical contexts. Thus the very notion of plagiarism in the academy—and now in religious spaces—is unclear and may be subject to criticisms of power and questions of who gets to define what plagiarism means. In this article, we aim to elucidate the reemerging conversation about plagiarism in sermonic discourse captured in the 2021 #Sermongate scandal. We introduce the systematic, histo-cultural factors which have worked to shape these ontological beliefs about sermonic plagiarism and advocate for a general set of plagiarism standards
