The Tyndale Society
The Tyndale Society was founded in 1995, five hundred and one years after Tyndale's birth. With members worldwide, the Society exists to tell people about William Tyndale's great work and influence, and to pursue study of the man who gave us our English Bible, spreading knowledge of the Word of God in English so that men, women and children everywhere could understand it for themselves.
Tyndale is one of the founders of modern English. Our Bible, since 1526, has properly been in a language that still speaks directly to the heart. His phrases are used today; ‘let there be light’, ‘the signs of the times’, ‘the powers that be’, and many more.
Because of Tyndale, English speakers across the world for nearly five centuries have been able to take for granted that they can have access to a complete Bible.
A great deal of research on Tyndale and his significance remains to be done — in the fields of history, theology, biblical studies, literature, translation-theory, art and language. The Society encourages this work through its academic conferences in Europe and North America, and its annual journal Reformation. The Society also sponsors publications.
All members receive the Tyndale Society Journal. Regular lectures are held for members and guests — among them each autumn in Gloucester Cathedral, in the University of Oxford and at Lambeth Palace. The Society also organises a wide (and growing) programme of social events such as visits to places of interest to members, film screenings, regular get-togethers, and an annual carol service. See the list of events for details.
