Dafydd Rhys ap Thomas (2 May 1912 – 19 May 2011) was a Welsh theologian, specialising in Old Testament studies.
[1] He studied Semitic and Hebrew Languages in Bangor and graduated with honours from the University College of North Wales in 1934.
At that time, though, the political climate and the threat of war in Nazi Germany made the situation untenable.
In 1962, his first edition of the translation of the two-volume Norwegian work The Psalms in Israel's Worship by Sigmund Mowinckel was published.
Between 1976 and 1990, the University of Wales Press published a series that he edited, Beibl a Chrefydd ("Bible and Worship").
Thomas was a lay minister and preacher at the Welsh Independents Hirael chapel in Bangor.
