About the Myrtlefield Trust
Distributing quality Christian teaching throughout the world since 1986
Charity Number: NIC101940
Our Vision
People everywhere listening to God speak his living word.
Our Mission
Myrtlefield publishes resources that help people to hear God for themselves, and so to increase their faith in him; and to do so in as many languages as necessary, so that people are better equipped to study, understand, expoound and proclaim the knowledge of God to the church and the world at large, faithfully and with confidence
Guiding Principles
Loyalty to what the triune God has said in the canonical Scriptures.
Diligence to understand them in the way he has inspired them to be written.
Confidence in the power of God’s word to change human lives and the world they live in.
We promote an approach to Scripture that seeks to understand its meaning by observing the structure, pattern and especially the thought flow of the biblical text, so that we discover the way that each book of the Bible contributes to the message of the whole.
Charitable Objectives
The propagation and dissemination of the truths and doctrines of the Christian Faith in all parts of the world in order to further and encourage Christian teaching and to advance the Christian faith.
Our Authors
David W. Gooding
David W. Gooding (1925–2019) was Professor Emeritus of Old Testament Greek at Queen’s University, Belfast and a Member of the Royal Irish Academy. He taught the Bible internationally and lectured on its relevance to philosophy and world religions.
He published scholarly studies on the Septuagint and Old Testament narratives, as well as expositions of Luke, John 13–17, Acts, Hebrews and the New Testament’s Use of the Old Testament.
His expositions of Scripture are enhanced by what F. F. Bruce once called David Gooding’s ‘rare combination of gifts: spiritual insight, classical learning and literary appreciation’. Yet his insights into the wisdom and love of God owe at least as much to his deep desire to know the Saviour he had trusted in his youth and whose word he has found, throughout his intellectual and personal life, to be true. His work continues to influence the public teaching and private ministries of men and women throughout the world, some well–known and many more unknown.

John Lennox, Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University (emeritus), is an internationally renowned speaker on the interface of science, philosophy and religion. He regularly teaches at many academic institutions, is Senior Fellow with the Trinity Forum and has written a series of books exploring the relationship between science and Christianity.
He has lectured extensively in North America, Eastern and Western Europe and Australasia on mathematics, the philosophy of science and the intellectual defence of Christianity. He has written a number of books on the interface between science, philosophy and theology. His most recent titles are Have no Fear (2018), on evangelism today, Can Science Explain Everything? (2019), on the relationship between science and Christianity, and the six–part ‘Quest for Reality and Significance’ series co–written by David Gooding (2018–9).
