William Bell Riley
William Bell Riley (March 22, 1861 in Greene County, Indiana, USA – December 5, 1947 in Golden Valley, Minnesota) was known as "The Grand Old Man of Fundamentalism." After being educated at normal school in Valparaiso, Indiana, Riley received his teacher's certificate. After teaching in county schools, he attended college in Hanover, Indiana, where he received an A.B. degree in 1885. In 1888 he graduated from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. In 1908, the Southwestern Baptist University of Jackson, Tennessee, conferred upon Riley an honorary D.D. degree.〔Marie Acomb Riley, (''The Dynamic of a Dream'' ) (Grand Rapids, Mich.: Eerdmans, 1938), 95.〕 He served several Baptist churches in Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois before taking the pastorate at the First Baptist Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1897.
==Biography==
In 1878, at the age of 17, Riley publicly professed faith in Christ and shortly thereafter felt he was called to ministry although he had planned to study law. Riley began his ministry as pastor of the First Baptist Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota on March 1, 1897 and served there for forty-five years, and another five as pastor emeritus until his death. Riley wrote a number of texts on Christian Evangelism and founded the Northwestern Bible Training School along with an Evangelical Seminary.
Theologically, Riley was a Baptist traditionalist who believed in the New Hampshire Confession of Faith of 1833, the most popular Baptist creed of the 19th century. His first major work was an exposition of the Confession and in 1922 he tried to get the Northern Baptist Convention to adopt it as its binding statement of faith.
Riley was the editor of ''The Christian Fundamentalist'' from 1927 to 1932. In 1919 Riley founded the World Christian Fundamentals Association. Riley was president of the Minnesota Baptist State Convention in 1944-45. When Riley died in 1947, Billy Graham conducted the funeral services. At the time of his death Northwestern Bible School was the second largest Bible School in the world with some 1,200 students enrolled.
