Spanning over five decades, Robertson has had a career as the founder of several major organizations and corporations as well as a university. He is also a best-selling author. As a result of his seeking political office, he no longer serves in an official role for any church.
Robertson has been associated with many controversies, such as in association with various controversial statements and claims, often of a religious nature. Other criticisms include on financial issues.
Wikipedia classifies Robertson as a Christian Zionist, although mentioning criticisms of his 1991 book The New World Order, which describes a New World Order conspiracy theory, which some critics have interpreted as including covert anti-Semitic elements, which has been denied by Robertson.
Apparently, there are few controversies due to views by Robertson on issues such mass immigration and race and intelligence.
