Biography
John Bowen taught evangelism at Wycliffe College in Toronto from 1997 till 2013. He retired at the end of 2016, and is now spending more time on the things he loves best—teaching, preaching, mentoring and writing. John came to Wycliffe College after 25 years serving with Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship in universities and camps. He has been married to Deborah, an English professor at Redeemer University College, for nearly fifty years. They have two adult children and four grandchildren, of whom they are ridiculously proud.
