24 x 20 Commemorative Artwork of the 500th Anniversary of the Tyndale 1526 New Testament

The year 2026 marked the 500th anniversary of William Tyndale’s 1526 English New Testament, the first printed English New Testament translated from the Greek text. This landmark work stands as one of the great milestones in the history of the English Bible, representing both a turning point in vernacular translation and a lasting witness to Tyndale’s scholarship, courage, and devotion to making the Scriptures available in English. Biblical Heritage Exhibit commemorates this historic anniversary with a framed presentation featuring facsimile pages, historic imagery, and historical information drawn from the story of Tyndale’s New Testament and the surviving witnesses to its earliest printing history. The presentation highlights material associated with the 1525 Cologne fragment and the 1526 printed New Testament, bringing together elements that help illustrate the significance of this remarkable achievement in the history of Bible translation. Mounted in a large presentation format, this piece is finished with double raised matting, brass title plates, and a substantial dark cherry frame. Full-color portraits, presentation art, and facsimile pages combine to create a visually striking collector’s display while also serving as an effective teaching resource for libraries, classrooms, offices, and private collections. The project materials repeatedly emphasize both the visual strength of the presentation and its usefulness in helping viewers engage the history of the English Bible in a clear and memorable way. Like the companion Hebrew commemorative piece, this artwork holds an important place within the broader Biblical Heritage collection. It preserves in presentation form the memory of one of the most influential printed texts in Christian history and offers a rare opportunity to engage visually with the legacy of William Tyndale and the enduring importance of his 1526 New Testament. The large presentation format measures 28 x 24 x 1.5 inches and is well suited for display, teaching, and collection.
