Blame us not if we value our liturgy: It embodies the anthems of Saints; it thrills the heart with the dying songs of the faithful; it is hallowed with the blood of martyrs; it glows with sacred fire.-J. S. FoulkIt is impossible to take the little finger of liturgy without grasping the whole fist of theology!-Gerardus van der Leeuw

The present volume of documents relating to Samaritan history, religion, and life is intended as a companion to 'The Samaritan Problem', Pittsburgh Monograph Series, Number 4, as giving translations of texts by Samaritan authors mentioned therein. But this is not the only aim of this work. It attempts to make accessible, in English, examples from a variety of Samaritan documents which provide us with a firsthand picture of Samaritan views about their history, their religion, and hopes for the future.

In the book of Acts divine involvement is everywhere. From the beginning God is responsible for promised action, including the geographic expansion--"in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth" (1:7)--referenced in Jesus'' response to the disciples, clearly related to Luke''s purpose in writing the book. Geographic expansion, however, is only the second part of Jesus'' reply. Is it possible that the first half of Jesus'' reply--"It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority"--has even greater bearing on the actions that follow and on Luke''s purpose? Is the Father setting times and seasons related to the kingdom''s establishment? Does this phrase explain the conspicuous divine involvement throughout the plot? In Restoring the Kingdom, Michael Salmeier answers these questions in the affirmative by exploring Luke''s characterization of God in three strands: God as the King who establishes and restores Israel''s king, who establishes his people, and who directs events. This unfolds Luke''s purpose in assuring the reader concerning the events that have taken place, helping to more fully illuminate Luke''s theology concerning God and his kingdom.
