“I want to take full responsibility for having my name on the cover of a book containing plagiarized sections”

Consequently, I want to take full responsibility for having my name on the cover of a book containing plagiarized sections, and where the contributions from the authors were undifferentiated. In such circumstances, when plagiarism is detected, the one who finds it has every right to look at the cover and decide right on the spot who is responsible. The names on the cover are the ones with the authorial responsibility, which is the primary responsibility according to contract, and the editorial imprint is the one with the publisher’s responsibility, also specified by contract. Further investigation might reveal where particular culpability lies, but the responsibility for the project flows (according to God’s design) to the names on the cover.

“he was not ‘blameless’”

In Titus 1, and I Timothy 3, God’s requirements for leadership are strict — and clear.

He stole the words of another and did not acknowledge that he had done so.
