Samuel Lublinski (18 February 1868 – 26 December 1910) was a Berlin-based writer, literary historian, critic, and philosopher of religion.

He was a pioneer of the socio-historical study of literary movements and a major contributor to the debates about German-Jewish national and cultural identity of the era.

In his last years he researched his unfinished project Der urchristliche Erdkreis und sein Mythus, publishing a series of booklets and essays in 1910 in which he argued that Christianity emerged from a fusion of late Judaism with Oriental and Hellenistic mystery cults.

[2] Lublinski was initially a staunch supporter of Zionism and was a regular contributor to Theodor Herzl's periodical Die Welt using the pseudonym Solomon Liebhardt.

In letters to Herzl written in May 1899 he explained his position, asserting that he did not want to fully assimilate into German identity, but could not imagine himself owing allegiance to another nation.

The biggest feud was with Theodor Lessing, progenitor of the concept of "self-hating" Jews, who published an extremely sharp satire on Lublinski, starting with derisory comments about his "little beautiful" appearance.
