Introducing the Christian Center for Translation and Research (CCTR)

[Tomas Samuel]

Dear Professors, Brothers/Sisters & Friends,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing to share an update about our new project; the Christian Center for Translation and Research (CCTR), an initiative focused on the scholarly translation of Christian texts in Arabic/Farsi. Our vision is to become a leading global reference for the translation in Arabic//Farsi, promoting theological depth, academic excellence, and the preservation of Christian heritage in the Arab/Persian world.

Our mission is to provide accurate, faithful, and scholarly translations of foundational theological and historical works, thereby enriching accessibility for scholars, ministers, and the wider Christian community in Arabic/Farsi‑speaking contexts.

In this new phase, CCTR is offering:

• Academic translation of Christian theological and historical texts from and into Arabic/Farsi, with attention to both linguistic precision and theological nuance.

We are eager to collaborate with scholars and institutions who share an interest in advancing rigorous Christian scholarship in Arabic/Farsi. If you see possibilities for cooperation—such as joint research projects or translation of specific texts—I would be grateful to explore these with you.

For more information about CCTR and our current projects, you can visit our website (www.cctr.site) or access our information poster attached to this email.

Thank you very much for your continued guidance and for any suggestions you may have regarding potential partnerships or directions for this work.

Best Regards,

Tomas Samuel
