William Robinson was born in County Down, Ireland on 15 July 1838 and died in East Grinstead, Sussex on 12 May 1935.
There Robinson became Foreman of the Education Department, began to write reports of gardens for the Gardeners’ Chronicle, and in 1866 was elected a Fellow of the Linnean Society.
Robinson’s ideas changed over the years, but, as he became older, he back-dated his revised tastes and created an image of himself as a single-handed rebel against the degenerate taste of the mid nineteenth century.

 Grafico Arts: William Robinson Review
Then suddenly in the late 1980s, when Robinson was in his 50s, bald and plump, and but for a mischievous twinkle in his intelligent eye, easily mistaken by a drongo southern press as a kind of hayseed naif, Pa Kettle with a paintbrush, he emerged as a very considerable painter and an overnight media sensation.
It is for his landscapes that Robinson ultimately will be remembered: as an artist who has had a significant statement to make and a significant self and interior vision to express.
What is different for Robinson, however, is that he is inventing a new painting language for a lost, primeval landscape that the rest of the world hardly knows.

 William Robinson's Completing the Reformation: Chapter Three.
Sin is doomed and its power is weakened, but it has not been actually destroyed; salvation has already been bestowed in Christ, but the fulfillment of that salvation awaits Christ's return in glorious power to bring to completion His victory over sin and death and to inaugurate fully and finally the Kingdom of God.
Professor Williams quotes this in order to support his useful distinction between 'The Reign of Christ' and 'The Kingdom of God.' This, here and now, is the 'Reign of Christ'; the 'Kingdom of God' awaits the 'second coming.' But "the religious life is always something more and deeper than the good life."
If Dr. Williams had lived in my own country (Britain) I think he would have been less dubious of an established church to perform the task of speaking the Word of God to the nation, as it was so nobly performed in the darkest days of the Second World War by Archbishop William Temple.
