In partnership with Paul Hicks from the charity MissionAssist, the Tyndale Society has developed a new website. This keeps all the contents of the old website, but updates it and makes it more accessible for mobile phones. It has the latest news and details of our latest projects and upcoming conferences. Take a look around and let us know what you think!
On 10th September we started a new venture when we began a series of monthly, online Tyndale Talks. These are held over Zoom and chaired by Prof Marilyn Button. They usually take place on the second Friday of the month, except where noted. They are held at 7:15pm London UK time, 20:15 Central European time and in North America at 2:15pm Eastern, 1:15pm Central, 12:15pm Mountain, or 11:15am Pacific time.

The British Library has produced a facsimile of its copy of the 1526 Tyndale New Testament.
This complete, carefully reproduced facsimile edition was created from one of only two complete copies of the 1526 edition of Tyndale's New Testament, which is held in the British Library. The facsimile presents the New Testament in full colour and to the exact, original specifications. The publication includes an introduction by the founder of the Tyndale Society, Professor David Daniel.
It costs £20 new and can be purchased online by the British Library shop, using the link below.

Mary Clow and Neil Rees represented The Tyndale Society at the Lollard Martyrs' Play in the parish church at Old Amersham, Buckinghamshire. This told the story of the Amersham Tudor Lollards. The church was transformed into a 16th century scene with actors dressed in period costume, speaking 16th century English, reading the scriptures in English and going about their lives, being arrested and put on trial. It brought the whole story alive.
