KNOPPERS,G., Judah and Samaria in Postmonarchic Times. 2019.
Judah and Samaria in Postmonarchic Times. Essays on Their Histories and Literatures. 1. Aufl. Mohr Siebeck, 2019.
XI, 333 S. Leinen. (Forschungen zum Alten Testament, 129). ISBN 9783161568046.
Focusing on Judean-Samarian interactions in Persian, Hellenistic, and Roman times, Gary N. Knoppers explores both commonalities and differences, rivalries and relationships, as these communities engaged one another in greater depth and complexity than scholars have previously thought. Some essays elucidate archaeological and epigraphic discoveries (Jerusalem, Mt. Gerizim excavations and inscriptions), while others illumine Jewish (Ezra, Chronicles, Josephus, Pseudo-Philo) and Samaritan (Samaritan 10th commandment, the Chronicon Samaritanum) literary texts. How Judeans and Samarians responded to competing claims to Israel’s past by reinterpreting shared scriptures is a unifying theme in these eleven studies.
