Abstract
"For almost eighty years, Wycliffe has engaged in the important and challenging ministry of Bible translation, serving millions of minority language speakers around the world. One particular challenge—the translation of the terms used to describe the unique relationship between God the Father and the Son of God in some languages that are spoken in communities dominated by Islam—has gained public attention. As an online petition circulated early in 2012, some began to make claims that Wycliffe is taking the term “Son of God” out of Scripture and making “Muslim-friendly” Bibles that include translation choices designed to appease Muslims. These claims are not true."
