 Adam Smith (1723-1790).
Adam's father, who had died before Adam's birth, was a "comptroller of customs." In 1740, at the age of seventeen, Smith was sent off to Oxford on scholarship.
Smith lead a quiet and sheltered life; he lived with his mother (she lived to be ninety) and remained a bachelor all his life.
Adam Smith's approach to his work was first to do a historical study of his subject, and then to advance the area, often building on the work of his contemporaries: he was well aware of the work done by Montesquieu and the French Physiocrats.

 Adam Smith, Biography: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
Adam Smith was born in a small village in Kirkcaldy, Scotland.
Smith's writings were both an inquiry into the science of economics and a policy guide for realizing the wealth of nations.
Smith believed that economic development was best fostered in an environment of free competition that operated in accordance with universal "natural laws." Because Smith's was the most systematic and comprehensive study of economics up until that time, his economic thinking became the basis for classical economics.

 Adam Smith   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Adam Smith was an important Scottish political philosopher and economist whose famous work Wealth of Nations (1776) set the tone for work on politics and economics for many people even through today.
Adam Smith's fundamental argument was that individuals should be allowed to pursue their own private economic interests as much as possible and so long as they do not violate basic principles of justice.
Smith called this the invisible hand of the market - although everyone is acting in their own self-interest, they are led to achieve the good of all as if by an invisible hand of economic forces.

 Quodlibet Online Journal: The Church in Scotland 1840-1940: An Overview   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Smith himself, however, is representative of a growing awareness of the importance of social concern, and was at the forefront of social action in the name of Christianity.
G.A. Smith himself gave a lecture on "Christianity and Labour"; D.C. Smith comments on him that he was "a prominent example of one whose concern for social righteousness was derived from the rediscovery of the contemporary relevance of the message of the Old Testament prophets" [84].
George Adam Smith and others would probably argue to the contrary: that it was the new view of the Bible, particularly a new view of prophetic ministry and of the emphasis of Christ's own teaching, that gave impetus and birth to the new social conscience of the Church.

 J. W. McGarvey's Short Essays in Biblical Criticism: Essay 189.
George Adam Smith, however, has called attention to the fact that these horrible words, clothing a horrible spirit, are probably not the words of David.
This view is borne out by the fact that the king, as pictured in 5-9, is quite incompatible with the picture given of him in the previous chapter, and the author of verses 13-46 could not have known of verses 5-9, for he gives other grounds for the slaughter of Joab.
George Adam Smith, and critics of his school, are a little too fast in finding "horrible words clothing a horrible spirit" in the lips of Old Testament characters; and he and his colaborers are also too quick in canceling passages in the Old Testament which do not harmonize with their conjectures.

 Adam Smith and the invisible hand
Smith is often regarded as the father of economics, and his writings have been enormously influential.
Smith was profoundly religious, and saw the "invisible hand" as the mechanism by which a benevolent God administered a universe in which human happiness was maximised.
Smith saw this as a large part of what was good about the invisible hand mechanism.

 Adam Smith vs. George Bush on Taxes - July/August Solidarity
He wrote, in his Wealth of Nations: “The subjects of every state ought to contribute toward the support of the government in proportion to their respective abilities; that is, in proportion to the revenue which they respectively enjoy under the protection of the state.
Smith thought, more generally, that it was foolish to talk as if there were something suspicious about the fact that governments tax us.

Blood sacrifices were required by God, though no explicit authorization was recorded (Gen. 4:1-7).
