Get Helpful Reminders as You Read the Bible! |
For example, if you are working your way through Matthew, and run across the Pharisees or Sadducees in verse 3:7, you may need to refresh your memory on who they were. The Zondervan Illustrated Bible Dictionary is a great resource for finding key facts about these Jewish sects. You'll find the following excerpt on the Sadducees: |
|
|
| Sadducee. sad´joo-see (Gk. Saddoukaios G4881, derivation uncertain). A member of an important Jewish sect, more political than religious, which arose among the priestly aristocracy of the Hasmonean period (see Maccabee), but which ceased to exist with the demise of the aristocracy after the destruction of Jerusalem (A.D. 70). |

The Sadducees are perhaps today best known for their opposition to the popular party of the Pharisees, with whom they differed on various doctrinal and political questions. This article continues with additional details on where the name was derived, sources for what we know about the Sadducees, their beliefs, how often they are mentioned in the Bible, and more!
