	Biography of John Webster, Libertarian Activist
		John had been raised by his mother with the expectation that he would marry a "nice religious girl" - the definition of which included that the woman not actually enjoy sex but only reluctantly participate in it to meet the needs of her husband.
		John's decision was to go ahead and run for office, but keep a low profile until he had the hard evidence of San Jose Police being involved in the alteration of tape evidence.
		John's probation officer then informed him that his probation would be switched from the intense supervision it had been to where he would not even have to fill out forms or ever see his probation officer again.

	John Webster - LoveToKnow 1911
		There are some touches of simple eloquence and rude dramatic ability in the mangled and corrupt residue which is all that survives of it; but on the whole this "history" is crude, meagre, and unimpressive.
		In 1612 John Webster stood revealed to the then somewhat narrow world of readers as a tragic poet and dramatist of the very foremost rank in the very highest class.
		The play of Guise, mentioned by Webster himself in the introduction to The Devil's Law Case, is lost.] Webster's claims to a place among the chief writers of his country were ignored for upwards of two centuries.

	Governor John Webster of Connecticut
		Webster must have been one of the first settlers, for it is recorded in 1639 that he owned a lot on the east side of the thoroughfare now called Governor Street.
		His prominence in the town is demonstrated by the fact that in 1637—8 he sat with the Court of Magistrates, and was a magistrate himself from the year 1639 to In the latter year Webster was chosen to the office of deputy governor of the colony, and in 1656 was advanced to governor.
		The historian, Hollister, speaks of Webster as an “honored name,” and “whose virtues are still perpetuated in those Who inherit his blood.” Probably the most distinguished descendant of Governor Webster was Noah Webster, the famous lexicographer, who was born in Hartford in 1708 and died at New Haven, May 28, 1843.

	John Webster: Life and background
		Webster had a younger brother, called Edward, but since the parish records of St Sepulchre, Holborn, were destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666, it is not possible to obtain exact dates of birth, marriage, and death for Webster's family.
		Webster creates a complex and compelling character who is simply not willing to abide those who stand in the way of her passion, and in the process, he creates one of the most exciting lovers' quarrels in all of dramatic literature.
		A Monumental Column, Webster's elegy on the death of Prince Henry -Prince of Wales (1594-1612)- the heir to the throne, appeared in 1613, it was dedicated to the king's favourite, Sir Robert Carr.

	Gov. John Webster
		Oldest Webster Family - The progenitor of the oldest, and probably the most numerous family in America, bearing the name of Webster, was John Webster of Warwickshire [believed to actually be Cossington], England.
		Governor Street - Whether John Webster and his family came in that group, or later in 1636, he located, as already shown; on the south side of the Little River, on what afterward was and still is known as Governor Street, not far from what became the famous Charter Oak.
		Webster's home lot was on the same 'plot with Gov. Wyllys' (directly east of my residence) on the street now known as Governor Street, and the house, which I recollect as far back as 1817 when, I clambered over the fence to play with the Hilisdale boys, was always known as 'the Webster house.'"

	John Webster. The Duchess of Malfi. The principal characters and their roles
		Webster has given her all the qualities that Antonio, her spouse, lacks, qualities which were not thought to be desirable in a woman of that era; she plots, schemes and has a bold and impetuous nature.
		Webster brings his background in the legal profession to bear on the issues, showing the loopholes in the law of verbal contracts as an acceptable form of marriage.
		Webster tends to neglect the importance of The Duchess' sons, and in Act 5 we see Delio apparently with a false heir.

	Amazon.com: Holiness: Books: John Webster (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Webster shows that theology, when exercised in epistemological humility (what Webster calls "holy reason"), in conversation with the Scriptures, in prayerful dependence on the Holy Spirit and in the service of the people of God, is itself a holy activity.
		Webster argues this through an examination of the teaching on God's holiness in the Old Testament where God's holiness is proclaimed, not in his remaining seperate from his people, in his coming down to them and entering into covenant with them.
		Webster's essential argument in both is that the holiness of the Church and the Christian is not derived from an ontological participation in the Trinitarian Holiness, but rather is an alien holiness that is bestoyed on us by grace through election.

		John Webster believes that theology is an office of the church.
		Webster looks at the dogmatic content -- this is not metaphysics or pastoral, mystical or moralistic (although at certain points in any theology, and this is no different, there will be points that touch on these aspects).
		In his conclusion, Webster looks at different theories of identity and self, and draws the conclusion that both the church and society need conversion that is unlikely to come through any form of rational, intellectual efforts, but through prayer and the type of conversion of life more akin to monastic visions.

		Webster’s highly poetic language and profound understanding of human suffering create a true tragic pathos and force.—continue at Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition.

		Webster's no stranger to this theme-after all, Made to Shine reflects the ebb and flow of the Indianapolis native's own spiritual journey.
		Webster's road toward Made to Shine has been one step of faith after another, though God sometimes accelerated those steps on a fast track-which was always a pleasant surprise to him.
		Blanton expressed interest in working with Webster, and that led to a three-year period of woodshedding the tunes that would become Made to Shine and his eventual signing with Blanton's imprint, BHT Records.

		Webster had many sources to draw upon in writing the play, which is based on a true story, though his chief was William Painter's Palace of Pleasure (1567).
		One of Webster's chief contributions to the development of the tale was his characterization of the major figures, particularly the Duchess herself.
		Early critics considered this a sign of Webster's lesser skill as a playwright, but more recently scholars have suggested that Webster employed a complex structure that is not flawed but rather sophisticated and innovative.

		Webster was probably educated at Merchant's Taylor School, prominent because of the educational theories of its first headmaster, Richard Mulcaster.
		Mulcaster's belief in a broadly-based curriculum meant the young Webster was, perhaps, given an early taste for literature and language, an acquaintance with dramatic texts and an introduction to the world of theatre.
		Webster may have entered the Middle Temple in 1598, one of the law-training establishments in the Inns of Court.

		Webster represents the future of English systematic theology simply because of his unwavering attention to the gospel—to the gracious Word of God incarnate, written, and spoken.
		Webster refuses to compromise when the gospel is at stake.
		Webster has yet to produce a systematic theology, so the best place to begin is with his essays, collected thus far in Word and Church and Confessing God.
