Uriah Smith

Uriah Smith

Uriah Smith (May 2, 1832 - Mar 6, 1903) was a Seventh-day Adventist author and editor who worked for the "Review and Herald" (now the "Adventist Review") for 50 years.

Early life

Uriah Smith was born in 1832 in West Wilton, New Hampshire. His family accepted the Millerite message and in 1844 experienced what has become known as the Great Disappointment. That same year, Smith had his left leg amputated due to an infection. Following the Disappointment, Smith lost interest in religion and commenced schooling at Philips Exeter Academy in Exeter, New Hampshire. Around 1852, he became involved in the early Seventh-day Adventist Church. In 1853, he began working at the offices of the Advent Review and Sabbath Herald (now the Adventist Review), becoming its editor in 1855. His main contribution to Adventist theology was a commentary on the prophetic Biblical books of Daniel and the Revelation, but he also wrote extensively on conditional immortality and other topics. Uriah Smith held several other offices in the Adventist Church, including treasurer of the General Conference and editor of the Review and Herald, the church's major periodical. He advocated religious liberty, the abolition of slavery, and noncombatancy for Adventists.
