William Bell Riley (1861-1947) based in Minneapolis, was one of the leading Fundamentalist theologians and preachers of the 1920s and 1930s. He was a Baptist from Kentucky, and was well educated at Hanover College and Southern Baptist Seminary in Louisville, where he took a divinity degree in 1885. In 1897 he became pastor of the First Baptist Church in Minneapolis, which he made famous. He founded the Northwestern Bible and Missionary Training School, Northwestern Evangelical Seminary, and Northwestern College; they produced thousands of graduates.

Riley was best known in the 1920s for defending the Bible and attacking Darwinians.

When Riley started preaching anti-Semitism, his fellow Fundamentalist preachers rejected and denounced his position.[1]
