Baptist-university lecturer puts Arabic spin on Bible

(Baylor Lariat) Bible translating has become a family activity for a Baylor Arabic professor, his brother and mother.

Dr. Abdul-Massih Saadi, lecturer in Arabic in the modern foreign languages department, has recently completed the translation and publication of the New Testament into colloquial Arabic and modern standard Arabic.

This is the first time a piece of literature has been translated into colloquial Arabic.
