The Centralization of Cult and it's impact on the Jewish-Samaritan Relation.
Master thesis, M Religion & Pluralism.
Abstract
The origin of Samaritans and their relationship with Judaism has been a subject of interest because of their similarities and the apparent conflict between the two groups supposedly existing since Ancient times. The place of worship is at the center of the controversy, whether it should be Jerusalem or Gerizim is one of the main differences between them. Scholarly positions vary regarding the moment, causes, and process of separation between the two communities, but all of them agree on the importance of Gerizim’s temple or their rupture. In recent years, the archaeological surveys in Mount Gerizim and the discovery and study of different contemporary texts (such as the Dead Sea Scrolls or the Wadi Daliyeh papyri) have provided new data for the study of the subject. The present thesis makes use of these discoveries and analyses three key elements for understanding the origin of Samaritans and the nature of their relationship with the Jews: the people, the temple, and the Torah. The analysis of these three components will show the parallel evolution of two communities with similar origins and with a relationship fluctuating between collaboration and mutual discrediting.
