About the author
Born in New Hampshire in 1832, Uriah Smith became one of the best-known writers and editors in the early Seventh-day Adventist Church. He is especially remembered for his long association with the Review and Herald, where he served for more than 50 years and helped define the tone and direction of Adventist publishing.
Smith wrote widely on biblical prophecy and church teaching, and his book Daniel and the Revelation became one of his best-known works. Beyond writing and editing, he was also known as a minister, educator, poet, hymn writer, and inventor, showing an unusually broad range of interests and skills.
He died in Battle Creek, Michigan, in 1903. More than a century later, he remains an important figure in Adventist history because of the lasting reach of his books, articles, and editorial leadership.
