John Arthur Thomas Robinson (16 May 1919 – 5 December 1983) was an English New Testament scholar, author and the Anglican Bishop of Woolwich.^[1] He was a lecturer at Trinity College, Cambridge, and later Dean of Trinity College^[2] until his death in 1983 from cancer.^[3] Robinson was considered a major force in New Testament studies and in shaping liberal Christian theology. Along with the Harvard theologian Harvey Cox, he spearheaded the field of secular theology and, like William Barclay, was a believer in universal salvation.^[4]
