“Faithful, rigorous research into the languages, history and cultural context of the Bible has enormous potential to enrich understanding of, and confidence in, Scripture. Tyndale House undertakes scholarship in the service of the Church.”

Dr. Peter Williams, Principal, Tyndale House

Dr. Peter Williams is the Principal of Tyndale House Cambridge and a lecturer on Hebrew language at the University of Cambridge. He earned his M.A., M.Phil., and Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge studying ancient languages related to the Bible.
Prior to leading Tyndale House, Williams was a Senior Lecturer in New Testament in the University of Aberdeen.
