Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) gives us one of the first historical treatments of the life of Jesus in his pioneering book (1906) that reviews all prior work on the question of the "historical Jesus" and points out how Jesus of Nazareth's image has changed with the times—while offering his own synopsis and interpretation in this seminal work of biblical criticism.

STORY OF AMERICA — Samuel Champlain took some colonists up the great River St. Lawrence to establish a new settlement and fur trading post. He founded France's first permanent Canadian colony, which he named Quebec—an indigenous word meaning: where the river narrows. This strategic location was at the foot of a great rocky cape on the north shore, which formed a natural fortress barring the way upstream to the interior. The early years of the Quebec colony were hard, and the population grew slowly. Samuel Champlain administered its affairs and took personal charge of an organized exploration of the unknown interior.

The New Testament features Samaritans in a few notable instances, often highlighting themes of compassion, social boundaries, and the expansive nature of Jesus' ministry. The most prominent examples include the Good Samaritan in Luke's Gospel and the Samaritan woman at the well in John's Gospel. Samaritans also feature in the Book of Acts, particularly in the spread of the gospel to Samaria after Jesus's ascension. But who were the Samaritans? and where was Samaria?
