John Brown, studied at Edinburgh and the divinity hall of the Burgher Church at Selkirk; was
licensed 1805 and ordained minister of the Burgher Church of Biggar,
Lanarkshire, 1806. After serving several more pastorates he became professor of
exegetical theology to the United Associate Synod after 1834. He was strongly in
favor of the separation of church and state, and in 1845 was tried (and
acquitted) before the synod on a charge of holding unsound views concerning the
atonement.
