This essay demonstrates that John 4:4-42 represents an attempt to delineate the outline of a mixed Jewish-Samaritan community. This account had a twofold aim: in the first place, it was designed to overcome the Jews' reluctance to deal with Samaritans, by depicting Jesus as disregarding prejudices about their alleged ritual impurity; secondly, it was intended to make the faith in Jesus accessible and relevant to the Samaritans. |
