Lyman Stewart (July 22, 1840–September 28, 1923) was a U.S. businessman and co-founder of Union Oil, which eventually became Unocal. Stewart was also a significant Christian philanthropist and cofounder of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles (now known as Biola University). He and his brother Milton also anonymously funded publication of ''The Fundamentals'', the foundation document of Christian fundamentalism.〔Sandeen Ernest R., ''The Roots of Fundamentalism'', University of Chicago Press, Chicago 1970〕 Stewart also helped found the Union Rescue Mission in Los Angeles. ==Early life== Stewart was born in northwestern Pennsylvania, and worked for his father who was a tanner. When Edwin Drake discovered oil near Titusville, Pennsylvania in 1859, Stewart tried drilling wells in the same area. After two disastrous attempts, he served a three-year enlistment in the 16th Pennsylvania Cavalry during the American Civil War.
