THE BIBLE QUMRAN AND THE SAMARITANS KARTONIERT ...

Discoveries on Mount Gerizim and in Qumran demonstrate that the final editing of the Hebrew
Bible coincides with the emergence of the Samaritans as one of the different types of Judaisms
from the last centuries BCE. This book discusses this new scholarly situation. Scholars working
with the Bible  especially the Pentateuch  and experts on the Samaritans approach the topic
from the vantage point of their respective fields of expertise. Earlier  scholars who worked
with Old Testament Hebrew Bible studies mostly could leave the Samaritan material to experts in
that area of research  and scholars studying the Samaritan material needed only sporadically to
engage in Biblical studies. This is no longer the case: the pre-Samaritan texts from Qumran and
the results from the excavations on Mount Gerizim have created an area of study common to the
previously separated fields of research. Scholars coming from different directions meet in this
new area  and realize that they work on the same questions and with much common material.This
volume presents the current state of scholarship in this area and the effects these recent
discoveries have for an understanding of this important epoch in the development of the Bible.
