These definitions are accurate, but are not intended to be complete. They are definitions of how Wycliffe uses these terms.

 

Word by Word

Every culture and community develops its own language to some degree. Wycliffe is no different in that. While we've committed ourselves to not using "insider talk" on this website, when other terms would be appropriate and would clearly communicate, sometimes we had to rely on technical terms. Rather than define all of our terms within the text (and annoying those who know the definitions with our redundancy and verbosity) we chose to develop this glossary.

Word Definition
Ten/Forty Window (Usually written as the 10/40 Window.) The area of the world between latitudes 10 degrees and 40 degrees north of the equator, covering North Africa, the Middle East and Asia. The window has in view most of the world’s greatest physical and spiritual needs, most of the world’s least-reached peoples, and most of the world religions that oppose Christianity. It also includes many groups who need Bible translation.
