Many uninitiated people especially in the West think that Arabic is Islamic and Islam is Arabic. Nothing can be further from the truth. The Arabic Bible in Modern Standard Arabic is well and alive in this age of information highways. Arab theologians and linguists began working on the translation in 1973 and the New Testament was published 1982, the full Bible following in 1988. Over the years the Book of Life has evolved from a translation of the printed Bible to a ministry aiming at communicating the Bible in various media to diverse audiences.
However, there was no question that many Arabs in the preIslamic Arabia knew and perhaps read Injeel or Gospel written in Arabic especially from the Christians of Najran, a city very close to Medina, and those who may have lived in Syria etc.
