Thank You, Robert Webber
Robert Webber died Friday, April 27th at 6:10 PM (Eastern time) in his wife, Joanne's arms, after his 8 month battle with pancreatic cancer. Please keep his wife, Joanne, their four children and seven grandchildren, and the Northern Seminary faculty, staff, and students in your prayers. Besides being a loving and faithful husband, dad, and grandfather, Dr. Webber enjoyed a 47 year ministry as a college and seminary professor.
Robert Webber was a brother in Christ through which God gave incredible gifts to the Church in so many ways. His impact for the Kingdom will live on. The major legacy of Dr. Webber's work and witness has been in bringing worship and ministry back to their historical Christian roots as established by the early church. His scholarly, yet spiritually sensitive research has resulted in the publication of significant works like The Complete Library of Christian Worship and the Ancient-Future Series. Probably even more important is the generation of pastors and worship leaders who have been encouraged, challenged and shaped by his teaching ministry.
