SMITH, HENRY PRESERVED (1847 ) , American Biblical scholar, was born in Troy,
Ohio
 , on the 23rd of October 1847. He graduated at Amherst College in 1869 and studied theology in Lane Theological
Seminary

Seminary
 . In 1892 he was tried for heresy by the Presbytery of Cincinnati, was found guilty of teaching (in a pamphlet entitled Biblical Scholarship and Inspiration, 1891) that there were "errors of historic fact," suppressions of "historic truths, &c., in the books of Chronicles, and that the " inspiration of the Holy Scriptures is consistent with the'unprofitableness of portions of the sacred writings,"in other words, that inspiration does not imply inerrancy,and he was suspended from the ministry. Dr
Smith
  retired from the denomination, and in 1893; upon becoming a professor at Andover Theological Seminary , entered the ministry of the Congregational Church. From 1897 to 1906he was a professor in Amherst College, and in 1907 became a professor in the Meadville (

Critical
  Commentary ") and Old Testament History (1903, in the " International Theologica) Library "). In Inspiration and Inerrancy (Cincinnati, 1893), he reprinted the papers on which the heresy charge was made, any outlined the case.
