Biological Sketch of Jesse M. Hendley
The "Dean of Southern Baptist Evangelists," Dr. Jesse Murphy Hendley dedicated his life to the proclamation of the gospel message to lost souls.1 He was born October 11, 1907 in Montgomery, Alabama, to Albert and Helen Hendley, but his family moved to the Atlanta area when he was a child. He received his education from the public schools in Atlanta and later attended Georgia Tech University for one year. Hendley accepted the call to preach and enrolled
at Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Georgia. He later attended Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky.
"Dr. Hendley was one of the most anointed evangelists I have ever known. Though not as well known around the world as Billy Graham, he was a shining light in that generation of great soul winning preachers. His burden was always for souls. I have never known a man to have the kind of passion for winning the lost as did he. This is why he preached with fervor and passion on such subjects as the apostasy, the Great White Throne Judgment, eternity, heaven and hell. He not only preached these truths. He deeply believed them" Jerry Vines, Pastor Emeritus, First Baptist Church, Jacksonville, Florida; Two-time President, Southern Baptist Convention; President, Jerry Vines Ministries, Inc.
