In October 2025, Tony Watkins sat down with Dr Dirk Jongkind, Vice Principal (Academic), to discuss his new book, Growing in Understanding: Devotions for Christian Academics (Apollos, 2025). You can listen to the full conversation here.
Dirk Jongkind, editor of the Tyndale House Greek New Testament, brings a unique perspective to academic life. Before academia, he and his wife Marion grew tropical cut-flowers in the Netherlands—but his lifelong fascination with the Bible led him to study at Tyndale Theological Seminary and Cambridge University, eventually earning a PhD.
At Tyndale House, Dirk researches the transmission of the New Testament and contributes to theological education, all while exploring how Christians can pursue knowledge and truth without compromising faith.
Growing in Understanding is available from IVP or your usual bookseller.
