500th Anniversary of the Tyndale Translation Colloquium

Tyndale University, in partnership with the Canadian Bible Society, will be holding a one-day colloquium on Friday, October 30, 2026 to celebrate the 500th anniversary of William Tyndale’s 1526 translation of the New Testament. The colloquium will include a plenary paper by Rev. Dr. Jennifer Powell McNutt (Wheaton College) and open sessions. Lunch and refreshments will be available.

Tyndale’s translation was a monumental achievement that shaped the Reformation in England, all future English translations of the Bible, and the English language itself. We are calling for papers for the open sessions. The papers can address any aspect of William Tyndale, including Tyndale’s life, his translation, and his roles as linguist, translator, biblical scholar, theologian, and English reformer. Papers addressing his impact in other academic disciplines (e.g., English literature, history, etc.) are also welcome.

Please send abstracts (200-300 words) to Roxanne Goodyear (rgoodyear@tyndale.ca) by September 30, 2026.

Registration information coming soon...
