Discover the rich and intriguing history behind the ethnoreligious community of the Israelite-Samaritans spanning from their origins to their enduring presence in modern day times within the pages of this extraordinary book! Incredibly written, this fascinating volume beautifully describes the historical roots, customs, and culture of a unique colony of people who have remained true to their proud heritage against all odds since before the fall and exile of the kingdom of Judah.

Managing to survive and thrive for millennium within their tight-knit societies, the Samaritans have succeeded in preserving a theology based on a version of the Torah that has remained unchanged and unaltered since the time of Moses. With so much to learn on the distinguished and remarkable legacy of the Israelite-Samaritans, this splendidly narrated publication includes maps, charts, and chronologies that will completely captivate you, ensuring it will hold a special place on your bookshelf!
