Arthur Tappan Pierson (1837-1911), b. New York City. A Presbyterian, he was called the "Father of Fundamentalism" for his bold stands for Christ and the Bible, and for his contributions to The Fundamentals series of books. It is said that he preached over 13,000 sermons and wrote more than fifty books. He co-founded the Student Volunteer Movement in 1886, and wrote several missions-oriented books to support that vision. He succeeded Charles Spurgeon at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London despite not receiving believer's baptism. A frequent speaker at the Moody and the Keswick Conventions, he was also a consulting editor of the Scofield Reference Bible.
