Jews and Samaritans : the Origins and History of their earlier Relations
Overview: Covering over a thousand years of history, this book makes an important contribution to the fields of Jewish studies, biblical studies, ancient Near Eastern studies, Samaritan studies, and early Christian history by challenging the oppositional paradigm that has traditionally characterized the historical relations between Jews and Samaritans. Only by recognizing the close ties that developed between Samaria and Judah during much of the first millenium BCE can one explain how the two communities became so similar in belief and practice. This groundbreaking work will enable scholars to go beyond questions of origins and division to engage questions of sustained contacts, travel, commerce, trade, and common development.
