sadducees the oral torah was an illegitimate addition to a scripture which they regarded as sufficient ref as proposed by the pharisees rather they saw the written torah as the sole source of divine authority ref name aj13 10 6 cite josephus text anti bookno 13 chap 10 sec 6 pace 1 ref later writings of the pharisees criticized this belief as one that strengthened the sadducees own power according to josephus the sadducees beliefs included rejection of the idea of fate or of a pre ordained future god does not commit or even think evil man has free will man has the free choice of good or evil the soul is not immortal and there is no afterlife and no rewards or penalties after death it is a virtue to debate and dispute with philosophy teachers ref name grabbe ref cite book

that the sadducees are rude compared to loving and compassionate pharisees but this is generally considered more of a sectarian insult rather than an unbiased judgment of the sadducees on their own terms ref name grabbe similarly josephus brags that the sadducees were often forced to back down if their judgments clashed with the pharisees as he says that the pharisees were more popular with the multitude ref name grabbe the sadducees occasionally show up in the christian gospel s but without much detail usually merely as members of a list of opponents of jesus the christian acts of the apostles contains somewhat more information ref name grabbe the sadducees were associated with the party of the high priest of the era and seem to have had a majority of the sanhedrin if not all gamaliel is a pharisee member ref bibleverse acts 4 1 bibleverse acts 5 17 ref the sadducees did not believe in resurrection whereas the pharisees did in acts paul the apostle paul of tarsus chose this point of division to attempt to gain the protection of the pharisees around 59 ce ref name acts23 bibleverse acts 23 6 9 ref the sadducees may have rejected the notion of spirits or angel s whereas the pharisees acknowledged them this is based on acts 23 8 which can be translated as either for the sadducees say that there is no resurrection neither angel nor spirit but the pharisees confess both ref name acts23 or as for the sadducees say there is no resurrection neither as an angel nor as a spirit while the pharisees profess both the latter approach to the text has been advanced by theologian and scholar of religion david bentley hart ref cite web url https churchlifejournal nd edu articles the spiritual was more substantial than the material for the ancients title the spiritual was more substantial than the material for the ancients author david bentley hart quote we almost unquestionably see evidence of this in acts 23 8 σαδδουκαῖοι μὲν γὰρ λέγουσιν μὴ εἶναι ἀνάστασιν μήτε ἄγγελον μήτε πνεῦμα φαρισαῖοι δὲ ὁμολογοῦσιν τὰ ἀμφότερα for the sadducees say there is no resurrection neither as angel nor as spirit while the pharisees profess both it seems quite clear from that phrase μήτε ἄγγελον μήτε πνεῦμα that the concept of resurrection described here is like paul s that of an exchange of the animated or psychical body of this life for the sort of bodily existence proper to a spirit or an angel admittedly some older translations rendered this passage incorrectly as saying that the sadducees believed neither in the resurrection nor in spirits nor in angels but that is obviously not what the greek means ref return to sadducees retrieved from https en wikipedia org wiki sadducees privacy policy about wikipedia disclaimers contact wikipedia legal
