Robinson was known for his astute exegetical observations. This volume includes several articles on the Bible ranging from commentaries on entire books to focused studies on a few significant verses. The second section of this volume includes Robinson’s work on the place and nature of liturgy. He was a leading Australian liturgiologist in his day and his scholarship in this area deserves a wider audience.
For over fifty years Donald Robinson has served God’s people as a scholar and a Church leader. Throughout his ministry his pen was also active, and his various reflections upon the Bible, Christian Theology, pastoral practice, liturgy, and Christian history stimulated others to think carefully about God and their own faith in his Son. The publication of his own Selected Works, as well as the essays written by others in appreciation, now allows new generations to engage with Bishop Robinson’s thinking, and so to marvel afresh over the good news of Jesus for this world.
Volume 3: Biblical and Liturgical Studies
Biblical studies; liturgical studies.
“Donald Robinson was one of the most influential teachers in the history of Moore College. His contributions in Biblical Theology, New Testament studies, Christian doctrine and Church history continue to shape the approach of not just those who sat in his classes, but many more who have benefited from his writing or from his generous personal correspondence. His intellectual journey, combining a deep interest in the biblical text, the life and activity of the churches, and a fascination with the growth of the gospel through history—particularly in the early years following the arrival of the British in Australia—is reflected in his writing. The appearance of these final two volumes in the collection will help future generations to see the breadth of his interest and the abiding significance of his contribution.”
