Tyndale House
Tyndale House is a Christian publisher based in Carol Stream, Illinois. It was founded in 1962 by Kenneth N. Taylor to publish his paraphrase of the Epistles, which became The Living Bible after a Billy Graham television endorsement helped its popularity. The company is named after William Tyndale, whose 16th-century English Bible translation inspired Taylor. Early works included Living Letters (1962), Living Prophecies (1965), and The Living New Testament (1967); The Living Bible followed in 1971 and quickly became a bestseller in the early 1970s.
Leadership has passed from Kenneth Taylor to his son Mark D. Taylor, and in 2021 Scott Mathews became CEO. In 1996, Tyndale published the New Living Translation (NLT), a modern English Bible translation created by about 90 scholars. The NLT is published by the Tyndale House Foundation, with profits supporting charitable grants. Major revisions occurred in 2004, with further updates in 2007 and later editions, including a 2015 version that incorporated Catholic edition edits.
Tyndale also has a British branch called Coverdale House Publishers. In the UK, The Living New Testament appeared with Hodder & Stoughton in 1974; Coverdale later became Kingsway Publications Ltd and eventually joined other publishers. In 2016, Tyndale merged its nonfiction lines into the Tyndale Momentum imprint. The company operates imprints such as Tyndale Momentum and SaltRiver and employs about 250 people. In 2021, Tyndale acquired Hendrickson Publishers and Rose Publishing. The official website is tyndale.com.
