Michael L. Brown (born March 16, 1955) is an American radio host, author, apologist, activist, and proponent of Messianic Judaism, Christian Zionism, [1] and the Charismatic Movement. His nationally syndicated radio show, The Line of Fire, airs throughout the United States. He contributes articles to the Christian news platform The Stream as well as to the news site Townhall, and serves as head of the Coalition of Conscience, a Christian organization in the Charlotte, North Carolina area. He holds a Ph.D in Near Eastern Languages and Literature from New York University.[ citation needed]

Career

Brown is president and professor of practical theology at FIRE School of Ministry in Concord, NC. He has also served as visiting professor of Old Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois and visiting professor of Jewish apologetics at Fuller Theological Seminary, School of World Mission as well as several other seminaries. [2]

Between 1996 and 2000, Brown was one of the leaders in the Brownsville Revival, a Christian movement that began on June 18, 1995 at the Brownsville Assembly of God church in Pensacola, Florida. In 2000, though, the board removed Brown from his position as president of Brownsville Revival School of Ministry (BRSM). [3][ better source needed]

In 2001, Brown started the FIRE School of Ministry, a Christian leadership training institute that is heavily influenced by the revival movement that Brown was removed from. In 2005 Brown founded another revivalist organization called ICN Ministries. The intent of the organization is to spread the revivalist message to places like Israel, other Christian organizations, and other places where Brown has influence. [4][ better source needed]

Brown has been criticized in Charlotte by the local LGBT community for holding a rally in protest of their 2009 Charlotte Pride Festival. [5] The Southern Poverty Law Center has profiled him for his promotion of " junk science" on topics connected to sexual orientation, such as in his regular claims that, rather than being genetic, homosexuality is caused by childhood trauma, as well as his support for conversion therapy. [6] In September 2012, the organization named him in their list of "30 New Activists Heading Up the Radical Right." [7] In March 2014, Brown traveled to Peru to oppose the legalization of gay marriage there. [8] He has also defended Uganda's criminalization of homosexuality, saying that the law was necessary to fight the spread of AIDS/HIV and combat pedophilia. [9] But he also posted on his website that he "renounces" homophobic views, such as advocated by Steven Anderson (who called for the death penalty for homosexuals) [10] and said that "gay people should be treated with respect and dignity". [11]

Brown was criticized for citing the white supremacist website Stormfront in an article "asking whether it was time for another Jesus Movement among Jewish millennials". [12][ better source needed] He apologized, saying he was not aware what the site was. [13]

Theology

Brown holds to Arminian tenets. [14] [15]
