Trinity College.
He received his Masters of Arts from Trinity College, Dublin and was a professor at Selly Oaks College. He rejected the idea that the New Testament has an ahistorical law code for the church to replicate and placed greater importance on the development of the church through history as an essential part of organic unity of the church. Robinson believed that unity was not simply organization coherence, but a connection to the singular people of God through the history of the church.
He writes from within the framework purposed by Thomas Campbell, but with an increased emphasis on the church as the embodied (or incarnational) work of God in history.
