The Peter Schoeffer Foundation (Stiftung Peter Schoeffer) in Worms, Germany is celebrating the 500th anniversary of the publication of William Tyndale's New Testament in Worms with an exhibition from 26th September 2026 to 10th January 2027.
The title will be "Made in Worms – William Tyndale's New Testament 1526". It will focus on the creation of Tyndale's New Testament. As part of this, the only pristine copy of Tyndale's 1526 New Testament (which is normally to be found in Stuttgart) will return to Worms for the first time since it was published and will be on display at the City of Worms Museum (Museum der Stadt Worms), Weckerlingplatz 7, 67547 Worms, in Rhineland, Germany. The opening ceremony is on 25th September 2026. For further details of the exhibition, see the link below.
There is also further information available from the website of the museum in Worms. (The site is in German but an English translation can be selected if you scroll to the top of the page.)
The Bodleian Library has announced the publication of a new book by Tyndale Society member Dr Harry Spillane. The book is called "Selling the Word of God - The Early Commercial History of the English Bible". This book traces the story of the printed Bible from the first printed English New Testament of 1525 to the much celebrated King James Bible of 1611.
It will be for sale for £25 and is being launched on 24 September and Tyndale Society members will be offered a 20% discount.

The publication of William Tyndale’s translation of the New Testament into English in 1526 was a game changer. His aim was to make the Bible accessible to everyone. Regent’s Park College in Oxford has delved into the Angus Library to display treasures such as Tyndale's New Testament and the first translations into Welsh and Manx plus early Baptist translations in India.
The exhibition runs on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th September 2026 in Helwys Hall, Regent’s Park College, Oxford OX1 2LB. Entrance is free with a pre-booked ticket.

The Bible Society is organising a fundraising walk of the Tyndale Trail from the Tyndale sculpture in Bristol to the Tyndale Monument at North Nibley, Gloucestershire. The walk is twenty-six (26) miles long and will take place over two days on Wednesday 16th and Thursday 17th September, 2026. Participants will follow in the footsteps of William Tyndale, going to places connected to him with a guide from the Tyndale Society.
The aim is to raise money for the Bible Society. The expedition itself (including accommodation and logistics) will cost £150 per person to take part, but each member of the group will be expected also to raise some money for the Bible Society. Here is a short word from our sponsor:
