‘Power for Living’
stirs up controversy
United Press International
TYLER — Three original au
thors of a religious book —
touted by Dallas Cowboys coach
Tom Landry and singer Pat
Boone before publication — say
the rewritten version plundered
the original and diluted the
theology in the process.
David Chilton, who co
authored the first edition of
“Power for Living,” denounced
the abridged version as contain
ing “a very defective version of
Christianity” in a report appear
ing in Sunday’s Dallas Morning
News.
Florida minister Jamie Buck
ingham, who rewrote the book,
said he feared the controversy
surrounding publication will de
feat its purpose.
“I’m concerned that this pro
ject could degenerate into a
theological debate or a name-
n g
ham said.
Chilton said he was asked to
finish the manuscript in four
days, after the foundation be
hind the effort — American Vi
sion Inc. — had already bought
television advertising as part of
the 1983 “Year of the Bible”
evangelical campaign.
Backers shot television en
dorsements with Landry,
Boone, Atlanta Falcons quarter
back Steve Bartkowski and U.S.
Sen. Bill Armstrong, R-Colo.
Some 2.5 million copies of the
book were printed by the De-
Moss Foundation. It was then
that Chilton and co-authors
Michael Gilstrap and the Rev.
Ray Sutton discovered the Buck
ingham version had replaced
the original.
Buckingham was listed as the
sole author, although substan-

tial parts of the original text had
also been included. The original
authors were also dismayed by
what they perceived as a major
shift in theology.
“I produced a piece of work
for someone, and it was altered
without my permission, and
someone else’s name was placed
on it, which we call plagiarism,”
Sutton said. “And it’s the worst
kind of plagiarism, since I wasn’t
even quoted correctly. I was mis
quoted.”
Buckingham said the DeMoss
Foundation asked him to re
write the book to revise the liter
ary construction, not the theolo
gy. He said he rewrote it, using
the original as an outline.
After the revisibn was com
plete, the DeMoss Foundation
asked that certain passages from
the original text be included in
the new version.
