Tyndale Chapel Podcast

The semester has begun with multiple celebrations and this week we will commemorate the 500th anniversary of the translation of the New Testament into the English language by William Tyndale (the eponym of our university). The Rev. Dr. Wesley Hill, Associate Professor of New Testament at Wycliffe College, Toronto, will be our guest speaker. The title of his message is “The Benefits of Slow Reading”.

For 50 years Tyndale Seminary has offered theological education to women and men, who have then gone on and out to faithfully serve Jesus and His church around the world in a variety of capacities and callings.  Our speaker is Seminary Dean Emerita, Dr. Janet Clark, who will be receiving Tyndale’s Distinguished Service Award.
