This autumn, the World of the Bible conference will focus on the New Testament.
As we mark the close of the 500th‑anniversary year of the New Testament’s translation from Greek into English, the day will include a special talk on William Tyndale. We are also delighted to include a specially recorded interview with Christian scholar Dr Tom Schmidt, who will speak on the date of Christmas. This conversation, filmed at Tyndale House in the summer, offers a rich and accessible insight that complements the day’s live sessions.
Join expert Bible researchers as we explore the trustworthiness of the New Testament and deepen our understanding of its history, transmission, and significance for Christians today.
