Dr. William McDowell |
Bill grew up in the community of Windsor, Nova Scotia, the eastern-most province
of Canada. After service in the Canadian Army he enrolled at the University of Toronto
in Central Canada, where he graduated in English Literature.
During his senior college year Bill experienced a profound Christian rebirth. Following a year
as a
merchant seaman, he then completed previously begun studies at Westminster
Seminary, Philadelphia.
While serving for several years at a center-city mission in Central Florida, Bill
earned his Master's degree in Communications at Rollins College, Winter Park,
Florida, then beginning to write proposals and promotional materials for the aerospace
industry in that region. It was during this activity that Bill was called to teach Biblical
Studies and Philosophy at the Orlando branch of Florida Southern, a four-year liberal
arts college.
The crowning single event of Bill's career was his invitation by Thomas Nelson, Inc.,
to be sole English Editor for a contemporary Bible translation involving scholars from
thirteen English-speaking countries. During this work he was required to travel
extensively to translation committee meetings throughout North America and the
United Kingdom. It was also his role to speak on behalf of the translation before many academic and ministerial audiences in those
countries. Since that time Bill has been a well-accepted freelance writer. |

places, and institutions are
retained. |
