He was born on June 25, 1843 in Brunswick, Maine, United States, the son of William Smyth, long professor of mathematics at Bowdoin College, and a brother of Egbert C. Smyth. His mother was Harriet Porter Coffin.
Named by his parents Samuel Phillips Newman, he early dropped the first two appellations.
At the age of twelve Newman entered Phillips Academy, Andover, and four years later, Bowdoin College, from which he graduated in 1863. In 1867 he graduated from Andover Theological Seminary.
Later he went to Germany and pursued theological studies at the University of Berlin and the University of Halle.
After a brief period as librarian and assistant teacher of mathematics in the naval academy at Newport, Smyth entered the Union army as a first lieutenant in the 16th Maine Volunteers and saw active service in the vicinity of Petersburg, Virginia, until the close of the Civil War.
After Andover Theological Seminary he began his ministry in Providence, where he took charge of a mission connected with what was then the High Street Congregational Church, being ordained January 29, 1868. Later he became pastor of the Congregational Church at Bangor, Maine, continuing as such until 1875. In 1876 he assumed charge of the First Presbyterian Church, Quincy, in which relationship he remained until 1882, when he was called to the pastorate of the First Church of Christ (Congregational), New Haven, Connecticut.
In 1899 he was elected a fellow of Yale University, and was active in the affairs of that institution until his death. As a preacher Smyth's appeal was to the thoughtful. His sermons had literary style and were delivered with a quiet yet deep emotional intensity.
His studies in Germany introduced him to modern Biblical criticism. His first book, The Religious Feeling, appeared in 1877. This was followed by Old Faiths in New Light (1878), The Orthodox Theology of Today (1881) and others.
Upon the retirement of Professor Park from his chair at Andover in 1881, Smyth was chosen by the trustees to succeed him. Opposition to the appointment arose in the board of visitors, however, based on a statement in Smyth's writings regarding eternal punishment, and this opposition helped to precipitate the famous Andover controversy.
His theological method caused him to welcome with enthusiasm the results of modern science, and he became a student in the Yale biological laboratory to gain better acquaintance with the scientific method and discoveries. The fruits of his studies appear in The Place of Death in Evolution (1897) and Through Science to Faith (1902), others.
During his later years he devoted himself with a zeal that no adverse winds could chill to the cause of church union, serving on various commissions and, in 1913, as chairman of a delegation to the Non-Conformist Churches of Great Britain in the interest of a world conference. In 1908 he published Passing Protestantism and Coming Catholicism; in 1919, with Williston Walker, Approaches Towards Church Unity; and in 1923, A Story of Church Unity.
Shortly before his death, which occurred in New Haven, he finished an autobiographical work, Recollections and Reflections (1926).

He welcomed the modernist movement in the Roman Catholic Church as suggesting a possible future means of approach for the Catholic and Protestant bodies.
His approach to spiritual truth is through a study of man in connection with his total environment, a method which, grounded in faith, "seeks to interpret results in mind and history by following with patient investigation the processes of life through which they have come to be what they are".
Newman had few oratorical gifts and never resorted to cheap expedients for popular effects. He had a keen, logical mind and, even in his college days, a passion for reality not inhibited by fears of any kind.
On June 20, 1871 he married Anna M. Ayer.
