Armstrong (31 July 1892 - 16 January 1986) founded the Radio Church of God in the late 1930s, as well as Ambassador College (later Ambassador University) in 1946, and was an early pioneer of radio and tele-evangelism, originally taking to the airwaves in the 1930s from Eugene, Oregon. Opponents assert that Armstrong was a controversial figure who promoted an eclectic set of unique theological doctrines and teachings which are sometimes referred to by critics as Armstrongism. Armstrong himself, however, claimed that these teachings came directly from the Bible. His teachings included the interpretation of biblical prophecy in light of British Israelism, and required observance of parts of the covenant Law including the Sabbath (7th day), dietary prohibitions, and the covenant law "Holy Days." Armstrong proclaimed that world events during his lifespan loomed various Biblical prophecies, and that he was called by God as an 'Apostle' and end-time 'Elijah' to proclaim the Gospel of God's Kingdom to the World before the return of Jesus Christ. He also founded the Ambassador International Cultural Foundation, which promoted the arts, humanities, and humanitarian projects.
