SMITH (1847– )  , American Biblical scholar, was born in Troy, Ohio, on the 23rd of October 1847 . He graduated at Amherst College in 1869 and studied theology in Lane Theological Seminary in 1869-1872, in Berlin in 1872–1874 and in Leipzig in 1876–1877 . He was instructor in church history in 1874-1875, and in Hebrew in 1875-1876, and was assistant-professor in 1877–1879 and professor in 1879–1893 of Hebrew and Old Testament exegesis in Lane Theological Seminary . In 1892 he was tried for heresy by the Presbytery of Cincinnati, was found guilty of teaching (in a pamphlet entitled Biblical Scholarship and Inspiration, 1891) that there were "errors of historic fact," suppressions of "historic truths, &c., in the books of Chronicles, and that the " inspiration of the Holy Scriptures is consistent with the'unprofitableness of portions of the sacred writings,"—in other words, that inspiration does not imply inerrancy,—and he was suspended from the ministry . Dr Smith retired from the denomination, and in 1893; upon becoming a professor at Andover Theological Seminary , entered the ministry of the Congregational Church . From 1897 to 1906he was a professor in Amherst College, and in 1907 became a professor in the Meadville (Pennsylvania) Theological School . He published The Bible and Islam (1897), Commentary on the Books of Samuel (1899, in the " International Critical Commentary ") and Old Testament History (1903, in the " International Theologica) Library ") . In Inspiration and Inerrancy (Cincinnati, 1893), he reprinted the papers on which the heresy charge was made, any outlined the case .
