	Sacrifice in "Classic" Israel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Smith's definition is the climax of a searching analysis of the importance of "place" within ritual, in which he concludes that the placement of persons and objects in their mutual relations, as in language, is the essential point of that activity.
		Smith considers that the second "map" in Ezekiel "exhibits a hierarchy of status constructed around the idiom of pure/impure." His characterization of the material is useful, but the shift in topic is achieved earlier than he indicates, from 43:13, rather than from 44:4.
		Smith is correct is observing that the "Prince" has been demoted from the sanctity formerly attributed to the dead kings, but the point within Ezekiel is that he joins the people in their non-priestly purity.

	William Robertson Smith: The Scientific, Literary and Cultural Context from 1866 to 1881
		Robertson Smith’s brief verbal duel with John Tyndall in 1874 is recounted for its relevance to the vigorous and often fierce debate between science and theology which so characterised the period.
		Smith’s writings are analysed in terms of those factors and are contrasted with the views of leading contemporary figures — including George Eliot and John Morley — in an effort to identify Smith’s unique contribution.
		Finally, the complex roots of Robertson Smith’s temperament — and in particular his reputation as a “controversialist” — are assessed against the circumstances of his early upbringing, and the relevance of psychoanalytic theory is examined in the light of Freud’s explicitly expressed debt to Smith’s ideas.

	Robert Louis Stevenson and William Robertson Smith: A Study In Contrast
		William, the eldest son and second of seven children, was born in 1846 and educated at home, as were all the children, until he progressed to Aberdeen University at the age of 15, accompanied by his 14 year old brother George, who died shortly after the two graduated in 1865.
		The relationship between Smith and his father, moreover, was always a warm and positive one: William Pirie Smith expected much of all his pupils but was quick to detect the eldest son’s potential and the boy himself drank insatiably at the well of knowledge.
		Robertson Smith himself had been quietly teaching his students the elements of this revolutionary “higher criticism” ever since his inauguration to the Aberdeen professorship in 1870 and had even voiced those views discreetly within scholarly journals.

	Ritual and Power – Lecture on myth 2
		Smith also saw these religions as “tribal or national” (1892: 281), a concept which introduced a very important social component into the study of religion.
		Smith obviously believed that too much attention in the works of his time was being devoted to the beliefs and “stories about gods,” at the expense of the rituals.
		It is no wonder that Smith’s view of myth and ritual did not exercise great influence in the history of religion, sociology of religion, and related disciplines.

		Smith later gloried in the fact that many changes made in the English Revision reflected his own wicked views on Jesus Christ.
