by Henry Robinson
Born in 1872, H. Wheeler Robinson — Henry Wheeler Robinson — was a British Baptist minister and scholar. He studied at Regent's Park Baptist College, the University of Edinburgh, and Mansfield College, Oxford, and went on to build a reputation as an important interpreter of the Old Testament.
Alongside his ministry, he taught and wrote widely on biblical theology. He is especially remembered for works such as Inspiration and Revelation in the Old Testament and The Religious Ideas of the Old Testament, which presented complex scholarship in a way that many readers could follow.
Robinson died in 1945. Although some details of his life are harder to verify quickly online than his publications, the sources reviewed consistently present him as a significant Baptist voice in modern biblical scholarship.
