Beliefs of the Samaritans

Beliefs of the Samaritans John 4:1–45 Excerpt The main beliefs of the Samaritans demonstrate both the close affinities with and obvious divergences from mainstream Judaism. They held in common with Judaism a strong monotheistic faith in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. In contrast, however, there was an elevating of Mt Gerizim in the north as the only holy place for sacrifice, based on several divergent passages in Deuteronomy and Exodus in the Samaritan text. Mt Gerizim came to be identified with the site of Abel’s first altar ( Gn 4:4 ), the site of Noah’s sacrifice after the Flood ( 8:20 ), the meeting place of Abraham and Melchizedek ( 14:18 ), the site of Isaac’s intended sacrifice (ch  22 ), and many other associations.  More Elwell, Walter A., and Philip Wesley Comfort.  Tyndale Bible  Dictionary  2001 : 1154.
