Yesterday marked the day we remember the death of William Tyndale whose dying words were, “Lord, open the king of England’s Eyes.” We also announced our new home at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. And this year marks the 500th anniversary of Tyndale’s English New Testament. To celebrate his life and legacy, we’re giving away 200—yes, 200!—custom Tyndale tees. They come in two colors. To win one, visit the website below.

We've partnered with Wesley Huff to giveaway some scholarly resources for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the New Testament.
