Biography

Heppenstall was born in England, however most of his ministry was in the United States.

He was professor of theology at La Sierra College (now La Sierra University). He was chairman of the systematic theology department at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary at Andrews University. He was also professor of theology at Loma Linda University.

His presentations on the law and covenants at the 1952 Bible Conference were highly influential upon the theology of the church.

During the 1970s, controversial Australian figure Robert Brinsmead tried to convince Heppenstall and Desmond Ford to write a refutation of the traditional understanding of the investigative judgment, however they refused. [ [http://www.atoday.com/magazine/1999/05/where-robert-brinsmead Where is Robert Brinsmead?] by Larry Pahl; "Adventist Today" [http://www.atoday.com/magazine/1999/05 7:3 (May/June 1999)] ]

Heppenstall was responsible for a shift in the understanding of the church's "investigative judgment" teaching.
