"This study is the result of archival research, hundreds of interviews, and listening to hundreds of programs as broadcast from 20-26 September 2004. It focuses on the question of how the broadcasts of the Protestants in the Arab World are a witness to the Christian gospel. The main question asked, is to what extent these programs are indigenous and contextually suitable for the audiences which the producers and broadcasters hope to reach."
