The outstanding nineteenth-century biblical scholar and Semitist William Robertson Smith gave three courses of Burnett Lectures on the Religion of the Semites at Aberdeen just over a century ago. This first series, published in 1889 (2nd edition, 1894), has long been a classic work and considered a foundational text in the comparative study of religion. The lectures, which constitute a work of considerable Semitic and Classical learning, view the primitive religions of the Semetic peoples in relation to other ancient religions, and to the spiritual religions of the Old Testament and of Christianity.
