With an examination of various 'sources' mentioning Samaritans or questions that canbe related to a possible Samaritan-Judaean conflict, this book offers a new understanding both of Samaritanism and Judaism in their formation. The literature under examination dates from the Persian period to well into the Roman period and stems from Jewish, Christian, Hellenistic and Samaritan circles. This study concentrates on both the anachronisms of th writers as well as of our reading of these texts. Special attention is given to question about temple, high priests, Levites, prophets, as well as Shechem and Heliopolis.
