We more often display the ways of earth than the manners of heaven. Our speech is too often seasoned with the wit and humor of this world instead of with the wisdom and holiness of heaven.

Hamilton Smith

Hamilton Smith (1862–1943) war ein britischer Bibellehrer, Konferenzredner und Autor aus den Reihen der geschlossenen Brüderbewegung. Er wurde durch fortlaufende Schriftauslegungen und biblische Charakterstudien bekannt, vertrat jedoch auch eine strenge ekklesiologische Abgrenzung gegenüber anderen Strömungen der Brüderbewegung. Für Bibelleser sind seine Schriften bis heute als leicht verständliche, christuszentrierte und seelsorgerlich geprägte Auslegungen von Bedeutung.
