William Robertson Smith byl skotský orientalista a starozákonní badatel, jehož práce radikálně změnila chápání náboženství. Ve svém psaní zkoumal náboženské téma bez ohledu na doslovnou pravdivost Bible, což vyvolalo kontroverze. Jeho přístup byl založen na komparativním studiu náboženství a jeho díla, často psaná pro širší publikum, se stala základem pro budoucí bádání v tomto oboru.
