William Robertson Smith était un orientaliste et un érudit de l'Ancien Testament écossais dont le travail a profondément modifié la compréhension de la religion. Son écriture abordait les sujets religieux sans adhérer à la vérité littérale de la Bible, ce qui a suscité une controverse considérable. La méthodologie de Smith reposait sur l'étude comparative des religions, et ses traités, souvent destinés à un public profane, sont devenus des textes fondamentaux dans ce domaine.
The book offers a scholarly examination of Semitic religions, presenting insights from the original 1894 lectures. It explores the beliefs, practices, and cultural contexts of Semitic peoples, providing a historical perspective that remains relevant for understanding their religious traditions. This reprint maintains the integrity of the original text, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars interested in the evolution of Semitic religious thought.
