John Bright (September 25, 1908 – March 26, 1995) was an American biblical scholar, the author of several books including the influential A History of Israel (1959), currently in its fourth edition (2000).
He was closely associated with the American school of biblical criticism pioneered by William F.
Albright, which sought to marry archaeology to a defence of the reliability of the Bible, especially the earlier books of the Old Testament.
