    \section{Pharisees and Sadducees}
    The Pharisees were members of one of the most important and influential religious and political parties of Judaism 
    in the time of Jesus. 
    According to Josephus (a 1st century Jewish historian) there were more Pharisees than Sadducees 
    --- more than 6,000 Pharisees around this time. 
    The Pharisees were strict and zealous adherents to the laws of the OT 
    and to numerous additional traditions such as angels and bodily resurrection.
    Roughly speaking, the Pharisees were more traditionalist 
and the Sadducees more accommodating to Hellenistic culture and Roman authority.
