Samaria, Samaritans and the Composition of the Hebrew Bible

Abstract

Examination of supersessionism and competition over cult and belief inherent in narratives and structures of the Hebrew Bible. While discussions over cult  places are presented in a variety of extra-biblical sources as taking place in post-exilic times, biblical narratives anachronistically place a north-south competition in a pre-exilic divided Israel, mirrored against the ideal Israel of David (and Solomon), in which Jerusalem plays the role as 'the place Yahweh has chosen'.
