John Bright (Chattanooga, Tennessee 25 September 1908–Richmond, Virginia 26 March 1995) [cite news |url=http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=990CE7DF1E3DF932A35757C0A963958260 |publisher=The New York Times |title=Obituary: Dr. John Bright, 86, A Biblical Historian |date=1 April, 1995 |accessdate=2008-01-13] was an American biblical scholar, the author of several important books including the influential "History of Israel" (1959), currently in its fourth edition. He was closely associated with the American school of biblical criticism pioneered by William F. Albright, which sought to marry archaeology to a defence of the reliability of the Bible, especially the earlier books of the Old Testament.
