Samaritans - Past and Present: Current Studies

By Menachem Mor

The articles in this volume originated from lectures given in two meetings devoted to the Samaritans. The first was the sixth conference of the Soci t d'Etudes Samaritaines, which took place at the University of Haifa in July 2004. The second meeting was part of the SBL International Conference in Vienna, July 2007.
The volume reflects the current state of research on the Samaritans. It presents a wide spectrum of approaches, including historical questions, the political, religious and social context of the Samaritans in the past and present, linguistic approaches, the role of the Samaritans in the Talmudic literature, and questions of identity of the Samaritans up to now.
