 SADDUCEES - LoveToKnow Article on SADDUCEES

 Sadducees
The term "Sadducee" is probably derived from "Zadokite", literally a descendant of Zadok the High Priest in Solomon's Temple, and the Sadducees' authority was always dependent upon the Temple hierarchy.
They sought to keep Judaism free from hellenistic innovations by rejecting as uncanonical all scripture apart from the Torah (Pentateuch), and denying such beliefs as the resurrection of the dead, belief in angels and demons, and a doctrine of divine predestination.
The Sadducees were members of the aristocratic elite of Jewish society in the Second Temple Period, including both priests and lay noblemen.

 The Pharisees, Sadducees, and Essenes
The Sadducees in the Gospel argue on the Pharisaic theory, apparently for the twofold object of casting ridicule on the doctrine of the Resurrection, and on the Pharisaic practice of marriage with the espoused wife of a deceased brother.]
The Sadducees insisted that, as 'till sundown' was the rule in all purification, the priest must be in cleanliness till then, before burning the Red Heifer.
And when the Sadducees ascribed it to the great value of the former, lest a man should profane the bones of his parents by making spoons of them, the Pharisees pointed out that the same argument applied to defilement by the Holy Scriptures.

The Sadducees claimed to be guardians of orthodoxy and opposed teachings that seemed to be innovative.

 Sadducees
Ever since Abraham Geiger argued that the Sadducees were the priestly aristocracy, the majority of scholars have held that their name was derived from "Zadok," the name of the high priest during Solomon's reign (I Kings 2:35; cf.
It should be noted, on the other hand, that these beliefs could just as easily describe hellenized aristocrats who wanted to minimize as much as possible the claims of their ancestral religion on their daily lives.

Matthew 22:23-28 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her.

He foresaw that the two great plagues of His Church on earth would always be the doctrine of the Pharisees and the doctrine of the Sadducees.

 The Sadducees Preside over the Rites of the Temple
The Sadducees saw themselves as the physical and spiritual descendants of Zadok, a high priest of the family of Aaron.
Their spiritual descendants today are people who believe that God can only be found in certain places at certain times, and people who are so comfortable in their own lives that they have no compassion for people who have less than they do.
Some Jews believed that the Sadducees refused the sacrifices they brought from home to the Temple (saying that the animals were blemished or impure), so the Sadducees could make them buy Temple animals at high prices.

 Sadducees
For their loyalty to God, and Faithfulness to keep to ONLY the Holy Scriptures or TaNaCh, the Sons of ZaDoK or Sadducees (Helem, Tobiah, Jediah, and Hen by name) were given by God through the Prophet the Crown of Israel.
According to the Legend (and the record of the Holy Scriptures), the history of the Sadducees begins with their Founding Father, ZaDoK, who was a Levitical Priest at the time of King David, and who won recognition in the royal secret service for his loyalty to David in the Revolt of Absalom.
Later on, during the Fall and Collapse of Israel (and then, even later, Judah), the Sons of ZaDoK or Sadducees were loyal to God, and strictly adhered to the TaNaCh or Holy Scriptures (full Old Testament).

 The Ecole Initiative: Sadducees
In his descriptions of the three philosophies Josephus contrasts the Sadducees with the Pharisees and Essenes as the group which denies divine action in the world, affirms human freedom, and believes that the soul perishes along with the body.
None of our sources actually link the Sadducees with the priesthood, stating only that certain priests were also Sadducees; and 1 Macc.
The only issue on which all our sources agree is that the Sadducees rejected beliefs in afterlife, resurrection and a post-mortem judgement.

 Last Days Ministries : Articles : Pharisees, Sadducees, or Jesus
The Pharisees preached a God of judgment and wrath, whereas the Sadducees worshipped a God of pomp and circumstance.Two thousand years ago, the Jewish people were hopelessly locked into a religion made up of these two radical extremes.
Jesus believed the same Bible verses they believed, but with one remarkable difference: the Pharisees and Sadducees knew about God, but Jesus knew the Father.
Not only did He free men from the law of sin and death, He also set people free from the religious seesaw they'd been chained to by the Pharisees and Sadducees.

 Secularists to Sadducees
The ancient Sadducees amy not have accepted the Pharisaic understanding of Judaism but they, too, shared a religious conception of Jewish existence.
The Temple came into existence to emphasize the new statehood of David and Solomon and became the keystone of the renewed statehood of the Hasmoneans.
The Sadducees were eminently the party of Jewish statehood in the sense that their Jewishness was principally expressed through the political institutions of a state and those religious institutions such as the priesthood and the Temple which were intimately bound up with statehood.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Sadducees
Among the religious difference between the two parties may be mentioned the denial on the part of the Sadducees of the resurrection, the immortality of the soul and the existence of angels (Matthew 22:23; Mark 12:18; Acts 23:8).
They became the dominant priestly party during the Greek and Roman period of Jewish history, and the name, whether bestowed seriously or in irony, originated doubtless in their pretensions to the descendants of Sadoc, the high-priest prominent in the times of David and Solomon (1 Kings 1:8, 26, 32; 2:35; 1 Chronicles 29:22; cf.
The Sadducees retained however, their traditional priestly functions and also a varying preponderance in the Sanhedrin, but even in this respect their influence was much diminished through the policy of Herod and later of the Roman procurators of Judea, who, arbitrarily and mainly for political reasons, appointed and removed the high-priests at will.

 Re: orion Sadducees
Some Qumran texts do mention "sons of Zadok" as (important) members of the community, but I think they never call their whole group by this name.
Essenes may well have agreed with Sadducees on some legal matters, just as they were closer to Pharisees on the issue of resurrection.
Perhaps if we had old Sadducee texts, we might find Essenes and Pharisees mixed together and called misled separatists.
