Robert Davidson (30 March 1927 – 22 September 2012) was professor of Old Testament at the University of Glasgow (Trinity College) and was Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 1990.[1][2]

Davidson wrote a number of commentaries, covering Genesis, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon. His The Courage to Doubt: Exploring an Old Testament Theme (1983) was described by Bernhard W. Anderson as "one of the most invigorating and illuminating books on the Old Testament".[3]
