\section{Samaritans}
|
|
The Samaritans were of mixed Jewish and Gentile
|
|
ancestry --- descendants of those left in the northern kingdom after the Assyrian
|
|
deportation (722 BCE), who intermarried with peoples settled there by Assyria.
|
|
Rejected by both Jews and Gentiles, they occupied an uncomfortable middle ground
|
|
in Jesus' world.
