This book critically examines the role of Samaritans within the narrative framework of the Gospel of Luke. Adopting an "ethnos-conscious" approach, it explores the ancient Mediterranean understanding of race and identity, focusing on how Samaritans were perceived both within their own community and by others. The study argues that Luke presents the Samaritans as a distinct ethnic group, separate from Jews, yet integral to the fulfillment of Israel's restoration. The book delves into the complexities of ethnic identity, self-perception, and the dynamics of stereotyping, racial animosity, and social acceptance or rejection. By analyzing these factors, it provides a sophisticated examination of how Luke's portrayal of Samaritans contributes to broader theological and social themes of salvation and the expansion of the gospel. It's a perfect read for theologians and religious studies scholars interested in race and biblical studies.
