Religions and mission in the Arab world
FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK
Dear friends

You have arrived at the August 2010 issue of our magazine. We are glad with the diversity of articles. One of our writers is starting a new movement with the article he contributed: He calls it the Outsider Movement.

Prof Dr J. Scott Horrell is a new writer in our midst; he treats us to a deep article on the question of the translation of the term ‘Son of God’ in Bible translations for the Muslim World.

Enjoy reading, and make sure that you make your friends aware of our magazine! In Christ
