Moses Lowman (1680–1752) was an English nonconformist minister in a Presbyterian congregation at Clapham, Surrey. He was known as a Biblical commentator and an authority on Jewish antiquities (this reputation of his resting mainly on his Dissertation on the Civil Government of the Hebrews, published in 1740). As a Christian writer Rev. Lowman extols the virtues of Judaism as support for the Christian faith:
'For a right Understanding of the Mosaical Ritual, requires some Knowledge of the rites themselves, together with some Understanding of the Ends, Designs, real Advantages, and Uses of them. For these are the proper Proofs of their Wisdom and Goodness, the proper Reasons and Motives for Approbation and Esteem.'
