Amzi Clarence Dixon (July 6, 1854 – June 14, 1925) was an American preacher, pastor, and author whose fiery ministry shaped early 20th-century Baptist fundamentalism across the United States and England. Born in Shelby, North Carolina, to Thomas Dixon, a Baptist pastor, and Amanda Elvira McAfee, he was one of seven children in a devout family that included his brother Thomas, a playwright. Converted at age 12, he graduated from Wake Forest College in 1875 with highest honors and pursued theological training informally under his father and John A. Broadus, declining formal seminary for practical ministry. Dixon’s preaching career began in rural North Carolina churches—Island Creek, Damascus, and Page’s Meeting House—before he pastored larger congregations: Immanuel Baptist in Baltimore (1883–1890), Hanson Place Baptist in Brooklyn (1890–1901), Ruggles Street Baptist in Boston (1901–1906), and Moody Church in Chicago (1906–1911). Known for sermons defending biblical inerrancy and opposing modernism, he edited The Fundamentals (1910–1915), a cornerstone of the fundamentalist movement, and preached at London’s Metropolitan Tabernacle (1911–1919), succeeding Charles Spurgeon. His global tours included Korea, China, and Japan. Married twice—first to Susan Mary Bray in 1878, who died in 1901 after bearing four children (three surviving), then to Helen Cadbury in 1906, a candy heiress who outlived him—he died at age 70 in Baltimore, Maryland, leaving a legacy as a champion of orthodox faith.
