Brent Rempel is Associate Provost and Lecturer in Theological Studies at Stark College & Seminary, USA.

In this remarkably illuminating study, Rempel draws attention to the nature and extent of the subtle shifts in Webster’s doctrine of God. With great care and concision, Rempel traces how leading early motifs such as divine freedom and aseity find a parallel in the late career themes of perfection and blessedness. We are in Rempel’s debts for so lovingly presenting Webster’s preoccupation with God, and for encouraging us to take up, with renewed sincerity, the deeply ingrained theological principles that made Webster one of the leading theologians of his generation.
