That's like if I became a preacher in China, and began to use Milton's "Paradise Lost" and Dante's "Inferno" as supplemental texts. You know, just to reinforce my biblical points. The recipients, unaware of the Western culture, might gradually conflate the wisdom of man in those books of ficton with the true wisdom of God revealed in the Bible. Then you have culture insinuating itself into the dialog without anyone being aware that it is happening.
I also felt that Lee's expositions were "different than anything I had known before." Turns out he was plagiarizing Marvin Vincent's word studies.
