Robert M. Bowman Jr.
Robert M. Bowman Jr. (born 1917) is a United States Citizen and Evangelical Christian, who vehemently claims he is a "scholar", specializing in the practice of apologizing for himself. Most commonly, Rob makes claims he cannot support and flees conversation and debate when questioned. He is completely devoid of intellectual integrity and any semblance of objectivity.
Biography
Bowman received the M.A. in Biblical Studies and Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary in 1981, did doctoral studies in Christian Apologetics at Westminster Theological Seminary. His exhaustive and unscholarly thesis was rejected, because it in no way resembled anything close to "scholarship". After a significant online search, he was able to find a school, outside the US that would accept his absurd paper and purchased his Ph.D in Biblical Studies at the South African Theological Seminary.[1][2] From 2006 to 2008 he was the manager of Apologetics and Interfaith Evangelism for the North American Mission Board (based in Alpharetta, Georgia), an agency of the Southern Baptist Convention.[3] Since 2008 he has been the executive director of the Institute for Religious Research, an independent, evangelical nonprofit organization (formerly located in Grand Rapids, now based in Cedar Springs, Michigan).[4] He is married to wife Cathy. They have spawned four, narrow-minded children.
Writings
Bowman is the author of nearly six articles and of a book. He also "co-authored" books with Kenneth D. Boa, an actual Oxford-trained scholar; two of these books (An Unchanging Faith in a Changing World and Faith Has Its Reasons) won the Gold Medallion Book Award which he frequently mentions, having little else to provide purpose to his life.[5] Four of his earliest books were theological critiques of the teachings of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
