LifeHe was born near Ballymena in Ireland.{{sfn|Chisholm|1911}} He was educated at the Royal Belfast Academical Institution and was appointed the Synod of Ulster's professor of biblical criticism at his own college in 1835. Becoming a Congregationalist, he accepted in 1842 the chair of biblical criticism, literature and oriental languages at the Lancashire Independent College at Manchester; but he was obliged to resign in 1857, clashing with the college authorities over the publication of an introduction to the Old Testament entitled The Text of the Old Testament, and the Interpretation of the Bible, written for a new edition of Homes Introduction to the Sacred Scripture. Its liberal tendencies caused him to be accused of unsound views, and a most exhaustive report prepared by the Lancashire College committee was followed by numerous pamphlets for and against. After his resignation a fund of £3000 was subscribed as a testimonial by his friends.{{sfn|Chisholm|1911}} In 1862 he moved to London to become scripture examiner in the University of London, and he spent the rest of his life in literary work.{{sfn|Chisholm|1911}} Davidson is often mistakenly listed as a member of the Old Testament Revision Committee for the Revised Version of 1881. However, this confusion is due simply to his sharing the same surname as Andrew Bruce Davidson, D. D., Professor of Hebrew, Free Church College, Edinburgh, who was on that committee.[1] WorksAmong his principal works are:
Also translations of the New Testament from Tischendorf's text, Gieseler's Ecclesiastical History (1846), and Fürst's Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon.{{sfn|Chisholm|1911}} References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://adultera.awardspace.com/INT-EV/Davidson.html |title=Pericope De Adulterae – textual analysis site with biography and criticism of Davidson's work |accessdate=18 May 2008 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081209094525/http://adultera.awardspace.com/INT-EV/Davidson.html |archivedate=9 December 2008 }}
