| Title: Antisamaritanische Polemik in jüdischen Schriften aus der intertestamentarischen Zeit Pages: 224-242 Type: Generic Year: 1982 Abstract: "Investigation of the alleged anti-Samaritan polemics in Jubilees, Judith, Testament of Levi, Theodotus' epic and 2 Maccabees yields little hard evidence. Explicit comments about the Samaritans occur only in Sir 50:25-26 and T.Levi 5-7. But there are doubts about the authorship and historical context of the Sirach passage, and serious questions regarding the sources and chronology of T. Levi. Both texts describe only the Samaritans residing in Shechem and do not offer firm evidence for their sharp separation from the rest of Israel. Only the writings of Josephus show a strongly negative attitude toward the Samaritans. - D.J.H." Keywords: ewish and Christian Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, Apocalyptic |
