Obraz Samarytan w okresie rzymskim i ich relacje ze wspólnotą żydowską w świetle dzieł Józefa Flawiusza

Abstract

The focus of this paper will be on the Samaritans and the Jews in mutual relation during the Roman Period. Using the works of Josephus Flavius we want to show a changes in the image of the Samaritans in relation to the time before Christian era and to the time of the Roman Period. In the first part we want to analyze the terminology, particularly the distinction between Samaritans and Samarians. In the second part we make the detailed analysis of the texts: Scatter Human Bones in the Temple Area (Ant. 18, 29-30), Massacre of Σαμαρεῖς on Mt Gerizim and Pontius Pilate (Ant. 18, 85-89), Samaritans and Galileans (War 2, 232-246 and Ant. 20, 118-136).
