Dr Andrew Brown

Lecturer, Old Testament and Hebrew

Meet Andrew

Andrew grew up in the Port Stephens area of New South Wales, on the eastern Australian coast.

He completed undergraduate degree studies in New York State and Tennessee, USA. Bible college teaching, youth college, administrative and food service work back in Australia preceded more formal theological college studies.

After Andrew married, he joined a pastoral team at a Baptist church and began research studies at the University of Queensland, both in Brisbane, Australia. Six years of country pastoring at Murwillumbah in rural north-eastern NSW followed.

Soon after arrival at MST, he completed his PhD thesis in the reception history of the creation week in Genesis.

Andrew is married to Naomi, an accountant and composer, and they have three teenage children, Gilchrist, Timothy and Kyria. They live in Montrose in Melbourne’s outer east.

Andrew enjoys hiking, table tennis, gold and gem fossicking and playing guitar.
