Independent Panel Judges Charge Bible Appeases Muslims

Even though Wycliffe Bible Translators says it changed some references to “Son of God,” and “Father” in an Arabic Bible translation for accuracy, it now has confirmed it is allowing an outside review of the project that drew heated criticism from several quarters.

According to a report in the Washington Post, Wycliffe has agreed to a review of its policies by a group called the World Evangelical Alliance, which is planning to set up a panel of experts on the issue.

The report said Wycliffe, which is working on hundreds of translation efforts in dozens of countries around the globe, also decided to withhold publishing materials that are in dispute until after the panel reports on the situation.
