Notability for academics requires that they be 'more notable than the average college professor'. I don't believe this person fulfils that. DJ Clayworth 17:58, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

As a scholar of Brethren history and culture, Bowman is indeed notable. His book is the ONLY comprehensive study of Church of the Brethren history/culture to be published by a major university press. And his 1985 Brethren Profile Study is the only comprehensive, nationally representative survey of the Brethren conducted during the twentieth century. (this contribution by User:JGFrancis)
