Early Life and Call to Ministry of Reverend Robinson
The narrative traces Robinson’s path from doubt and scruples about a holy calling to entering Rotherham Academy in 1800 for four years. Diary extracts reveal inner conflict over faith and vocation, yet steady temper and devotion, culminating in an invitation to serve Bakewell, Derbyshire, after studies in 1804 and a plan to live there as his ministry begins.
