true
false

The correct answer is true.

It is true that the Arabic version of the bible is considered no more or less important than the English translation of it.

The Arabic version of the Bible is also known as the Vandick version. It has been used in Easter Arabic countries since the 1860s. It also has been read by other people that speak Arab in other countries of the world. Previous to this version, people such as Eli Smith and Butrus Bustani had been working with translations of the Old and New Testament books.

the catholic church withhold people's access to the bible during the middle ages.

people could go to church and listen to the teachings, but it was absolutely forbidden to own and/or read the books of both the old and new testaments. it was also prohibited to translate the books (which where originally in biblical hebrew) to any other language.

this was done so the church could remain in control of what their teachings were and to enhance their importance and power, while also being able to judge people's actions through information that was unavailable for the general public.
