Robin Routledge

Lecturer & Academic Registrar

Dr Robin Routledge gained his first degree in Mathematics from Churchill College, Cambridge, before training for the Baptist ministry at Spurgeon’s College in London. In 1980, Robin became pastor of Rotherham Baptist Church – serving there for over 25 years. Whilst in Rotherham, Robin completed his PhD in Biblical Studies with the University of Sheffield. He taught some Maths courses at a local Further Education College, and for several years was a visiting lecturer at Mattersey Hall, teaching Old Testament modules, before joining the full time faculty in September, 2006. He also teaches Old Testament courses on Masters’ programmes in Prague (IBTS) and Brussels (CTS).

He is married to Ailsa, a primary school teacher, and they have two grown up children, Philip and Rebekah – who are also teachers!

Robin contributed to the NIV Thematic Bible, and has written articles on the Book of Isaiah and other Old Testament subjects, published in the Tyndale Bulletin, the Evangelical Quarterly, and the Journal of European Baptist Studies. His interests include reading historical novels, particularly those set during the Napoleonic wars – not least because Ailsa is related to the Duke of Wellington.
