I have been asked to write this article on the language of the New Testament because of questions asked by Muslim friends about the languages of the New Testament that infer that the New Testament writers did not accurately record the words of Jesus because they wrote in another language than Jesus spoke. Since I am not sure what original source for the Muslim argument is I cannot make that the basis of my response. I have only seen the letter of Dr. Christoph Heger to Mohamed Ghounem at the debate webboard.
