A. C. Dixon (1854-1925) was born in Shelby, North Carolina, and died in
London, England. He was a well-known Baptist preacher, author, and evangelist who was a
pioneer of Christian fundamentalism. He served such prominent pulpits as the Moody
Church in Chicago, Illinois, and Spurgeon's Metropolitan Tabernacle in London, England,
and was an editor of
The Fundamentals, a famous collection of
essays from which fundamentalism derived its name. Dixon was known for arguing against
what he perceived to be Protestant apostasy. In 1903, while living in Boston and
preaching at the Ruggles Street Church, he published a book condemning Christian Science
on such grounds, entitled
The Christian Science Delusion. He
also authored over 15 other works on religious themes between 1890 and 1921.
