Book Description

This is the first attempt at a book-length history of the Samaritans, throughout the ages, from Old Testament times right down to the present. Along the way it tries to answer such questions as: Are the Samaritans direct descendants of the Northern Tribes of Israel? Does the Samaritan creed derive from post exilic Judaism? How did Samaritanism influence early Christianity? Are the Samaritans also a nation? What are the causes of their survival?

Book Description

This volume presents an anthology of 19 seminal studies, some for the first time in English, that explore the history and tradition of the ancient relationship between Samaritans and Jews. The book is arranged into three parts: Methods, Traditions, and History; Samaritan and Jewish Pentateuchs; and Studies in Bible and Tradition, each of which is chronologically ordered. It represents a collection of the author’s previous publications on the relationship between Samaritans and Jews, expanding and supplementing the conclusions of her published books. Recent archaeological developments on Mount Gerizim have demonstrated that our paradigms for writing the ancient histories of the kingdoms and provinces of Samaria and Judah in the Iron II, Persian, and Hellenistic periods must change. These developments also affect how we evaluate and read ancient literary traditions, and several chapters offer challenging new perspectives on well-known themes, narratives, and compositions in this subject area. Samaritans and Jews in History and Tradition: Changing Perspectives 10 will be of interest to students and scholars of biblical studies, theology, comparative religion, the ancient Near East, and in particular, Samaritan and Jewish studies.

Book Description

Most people associate the term "Samaritan" exclusively with the New Testament stories about the Good Samaritan and the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well. Very few are aware that a small community of about 750 Samaritans still lives today in Palestine and Israel; they view themselves as the true Israelites, having resided in their birthplace for thousands of years and preserving unchanged the revelation given to Moses in the Torah. Reinhard Pummer, one of the world's foremost experts on Samaritanism, offers in this book a comprehensive introduction to the people identified as Samaritans in both biblical and nonbiblical sources. Besides analyzing the literary, epigraphic, and archaeological sources, he examines the Samaritans' history, their geographical distribution, their version of the Pentateuch, their rituals and customs, and their situation today.

Book Description

"In their previous book, The Keepers, Robert T. Anderson and Terry Giles provide a history of the Samaritans that sheds light on a people virtually unknown apart from the parable of the Good Samaritan. In Tradition Kept they introduce readers to religious literature written by the Samaritans in which they explore their own perspective on what it means to be the people of Israel. Anderson and Giles provide fresh English translations for the most important and least available portions of Samaritan literature, including major historical works, liturgies, theological compositions, and even samplings of astronomical and amulet texts. These are indispensable texts for those seeking to understand these contemporaries of Ezra and Nehemiah, Jesus, and early Jewish rabbis. Illustrations and bibliography supply profitable information for anyone interested in the corpus of Samaritan sacred texts."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description

The Keepers describes the remarkable history and survival of the Samaritans and the unique oppression and grace that have shaped their culture and religion. It is a history whose antagonists have included Jews, Christians, and Muslims, and it has contributed to arguments between Roman Catholics and Protestants over the text of the Bible. The threads of the story disappear at times into Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, but ultimately succeed in affirming the unique Samaritan identity. Popularly associated with phrases like "The Lost Ten Tribes of Israel" and "The Good Samaritan," many are surprised to learn that the Samaritans have a rich history and culture that includes a contemporary chapter. This history is illuminated by stories in the Hebrew Bible and documents from Persian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic sources.
