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. 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 looking forward to  hearing from scholars across multiple disciplines as we explore many aspects of William Tyndale; his life, his translation, and his roles as linguist, translator, biblical scholar, theologian, and English reformer.

Plenary Paper:

Rev. Dr. Jennifer Powell McNutt, Ph.D, Fr.Hist.S. (Wheaton College)

“ ‘Gently Corrected’: William Tyndale’s New Testament at 500”
