The articles in this volume originated from lectures given in two
meetings devoted to the Samaritans. The first was the sixth
conference of the SociA(c)tA(c) da (TM)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, to name just a
few.
This collection of 21 articles and a panel discussion reviews and
analyses the history and implications of the dualistic paradigm
that has characterised Judaism throughout the ages: pluralism and
sectarianism, religiosity and secularity, universalism and
separatism, reform and uniformity. Particular attention is paid to
the history and effects of different religious groups, movements
and political trends.
