doq, or from their assumed or ascribed charac- 
ter, the word tseduqim being pi. of tsddoq, lit. 
'the just one,' < tsudaq, be just.] An adherent 
of a skeptical school of Judaism in the time of 
Christ, which denied the immortality of the 
soul, the existence of angels, and the authority 
of the historical and poetical books of the Old 
Testament and of the oral tradition on which 
Pharisaic doctrine was largely founded, it is 
not easy to define exactly the doctrine of the Sadducees, 
because It was a negative rather than a positive philoso- 
phy, and a speculative rather than a practical system ; and 
for our knowledge of it we are almost wholly dependent 
on the representations of its opponents. It was the doc- 
trine of the rich, the worldly, and the compliant.

with the bodies ; nor do they regnrd the observation of

extremes of Pharisaism, springing from moderate and ra- 
tionalistic tendencies.

2. Skepticism. 
Sadduceeimi has so completely become the quasi-scien- 
tific term of theology for the indifferentism or unbelief of

orthodoxy of the Pharisees would have saved them from 
reproach. //. !f. Oxmham, Short Studies, p. 3.
