Daniel Rempel

Assistant Professor of Biblical and Theological Studies (Winnipeg)

Dr. Rempel teaches courses in biblical and theological studies. His Ph.D. research was situated at the intersection of disability theology and the work of Karl Barth. All his work is ultimately rooted in the same concerns: how can we come to know God better, and how does that change the way we live?
