Please let me know when it becomes available in the UK (via Amazon?). I shall read it with interest. Before my time on the B.B. I had never heard of John R, Rice but I'm sure that's to my loss. The only American Fundamentalist whose biography I have read is Billy Sunday.

Fundamental Baptist Biographies
- Thread starter TheOldJudge
- Start date
Yes it's an unpublished manuscript, held in the archives of Northern Baptist Seminary.
But I have acquired this, which contains some biographical information:
God's Approval of a Woman Preacher, by Amy Lee Stockton
It is available in Kindle format on Amazon. Our publisher here should be able to ship to the UK. I'll ask.
Alas, the publisher is very new, and they are not yet set up for international shipping. But as I said it is on Kindle, which doesn't need shipping, if you are familiar with that format. An audio book version is also in the works.
If you want a physical copy, I can order it and send it to you. You'll just have to pay the cost of the purchase (27.30 includes shipping to me) and mailing to UK (not cheap, $24.50), total 40.7 Pounds. We could do it via paypal, although I doubt you want to pay that much.
Unless you know someone in the US military who is stationed in the UK - as it can be sent via the APO system

The Man Behind the Patch (Ron Hamilton) was published by Majesty Music & Publications this fall.
Have any other fundamental Baptist biographies been published in the past eighteen months?

George W. Dollar wrote A History of Fundamentalism in America in 1973. It was updated by his son G.W., Jr.) and daughter (Marcia Dollar Phillips) in 2006, after G.W.D.'s death. A biographical list of Fundamentalist, past and present, is included in his book. Very good source if you are looking to add to your list of names.

Please add this to your list:
"'She Is the Seminary': The Life and Ministry of Dr. Olive L. Clark (1894–1989), Canadian Fundamentalist Educator", by Taylor Murray, pp. 17-29, in Reclaiming Voices: Women’s Contributions to Baptist History (2024).
From the Introduction:
"Dr. Olive L. Clark (1894–1989)....In 1928, she became one of the first faculty members at the newly-minted Toronto Baptist Seminary (TBS)—operated by the prominent Canadian fundamentalist leader T. T. Shields—and remained there until her retirement thirty-eight years later....Clark took an active role in the fundamentalist community by training pastors, publishing lesson plans and articles, and serving as an editor of The Gospel Witness newspaper. In fact, her involvement in the movement was so significant that, after Shields, Clark was perhaps one of the most influential people in the entire Baptist fundamentalist community in Canada. One former student called her 'a prophetess of note' who 'made her mark for God in an hour which gave little encouragement to women in ministry, and excelled in any work she undertook'. Similarly, on at least one occasion, Shields is said to have remarked: 'She is the Seminary'."

In BAPTIST HISTORY FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH
TO THE CLOSE OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY BY J. M. CRAMP, DD.,
Brother Cramp places an extraordinary emphasis on citing the men associated with the perpetuation of Jesus' churches like the one He built, throughout the entire Church Age, in each of the various periods of time since her Founding by Jesus, as well as a rare insight into each of these men, by giving extended discussions and biographies on all of them.
And two years later Alan Gross still doesn't, his spamming has resumed!

"The term “Fundamentalist” or “Fundamentalism” was probably first coined by Curtis Lee Laws in the Baptist paper The Watchman Examiner in 1920. According to Laws, Fundamentalists were those who were ready “to do battle for the Fundamentals.”
"Prior to Br. Laws writings on Fundamentalism, the 'Fundamentals'
are said below to have had Presbyterian folks produce what has become known as
the “Five Points” of Fundamentalism:
1.) "The Deity of Christ; His Virgin birth and Miracles;
2.) the Inspiration and Infallibility of Scripture;
3.) Christ’s Penal death for our sins;
4.) and His Physical Resurrection
5.) and Personal Return".
Here on the Baptist board there are those who don't understand what a Bible is enough to use one that teaches 1.) "The Deity of Christ; His Virgin birth and Miracles";
& there are those who don't believe in 2.) "the Inspiration and Infallibility of Scripture", at all,
and those who have departed from the Faith regarding, 3.) "Christ’s Penal death for our sins";
those who contend for 4.) "His Physical Resurrection" taking place after a day or two,
and those who have added to Revelation 20:4 something to do with Jesus Reigning on Earth for 1,000 years, before 5.) His Personal Return, or before one of three or four or five Personal Returns of Jesus, they hold to.
Theology of Fundamentalism.
"Three areas can be examined in regard to determining the theology of Fundamentalism.
First, the Presbyterian General Assembly in 1910 that produced what has become known as
the “Five Points” of Fundamentalism: The Deity of Christ; His Virgin birth and Miracles; the Inspiration and Infallibility of Scripture; Christ’s Penal death for our sins; and His Physical Resurrection and Personal Return'. These five areas were considered by the Fundamentalists to be under direct attack from the secular society and from within the contemporary Church."
Provided you are not scared of men who believed in
"The Deity of Christ; His Virgin birth and Miracles;
the Inspiration and Infallibility of Scripture;
Christ’s Penal death for our sins;
and His Physical Resurrection
and Personal Return",
prior to it being popularized by a name in the World's media, then what I posted won't hurt you.
Yes, many of us believe in the Five distinctives I listed, but others may 'kill you' in opposition to some, if not all, of those beliefs by character assassination and since over 50 million True Historical Baptist Doctrine believing saints of God have lost their lives to Religious experts when,
"They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh,
that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service", it won't be the first time Baptist believers in those Five Distinctives were persecuted to some extent in America, by Protestants who call themselves 'baptist', with many worse things currently going on in other parts of the World.
I.M.H.O, you wouldn't believe or know what actual Baptist is,
or one of Jesus' churches they Worship in,
if they were flying down the Interstate at 75 mph.
I don't remember anything about this, but you are welcome to post and contribute more than a nickel's worth in six months, if you think you've got it in you.
I’m assuming that IMHO means your honest opinion. Certainly the way you have stated it, you didn’t mean humble.
I just wanted to check, you know John and are familiar with what church he attends? You have met with him in person and not just the internet?
You have the final say on all things Baptist?
Who flicked your Bic?
