Tyndale House

What Tyndale House does

Tyndale House is a charitable biblical research institution established in Cambridge in 1944 and operating as a company limited by guarantee and registered charity (Charity No. 1161396). It advances evangelical biblical scholarship through a specialist library, an International Scholars Programme accommodating visiting scholars, and peer-reviewed academic publishing. Its flagship scholarly output is the Tyndale House Greek New Testament (THGNT), a critical edition of the Greek New Testament reflecting the earliest recoverable wording, edited by Dr Dirk Jongkind and developed over a ten-year project before its 2017 launch.

The institution's products and services include the Tyndale Bulletin peer-reviewed journal, the World of the Bible magazine, multiple podcast series (Genesis 1-9 Deep Dive, Trusting the Gospels, Ancient Names, Artefact in Focus), and ongoing research projects including the Codex Climaci Rescriptus text-recovery project and the Old Testament Names Project. Publications are distributed globally through partnerships with Cambridge University Press and Crossway (print and digital editions), and the THGNT text is available through Bible Gateway, the YouVersion app (installed on over 385 million devices), and the Olive Tree Bible App.

Tyndale House is funded primarily through charitable donations and gifts, with some fee-based services (library access, visiting scholar accommodation). It serves three segments: academic biblical scholars and researchers (primary), churches and Christian organizations, and general Christians. It is led by Principal and CEO Dr Peter J Williams and operates from a single Cambridge headquarters at 36 Selwyn Gardens.
