Description: "In Pharisees and Sadducees, Wellhausen turned his attention to Jews at the turn of the era. In this little volume - he called it an essay - Wellhausen provides a firm foundation for understanding Judaism's influential Pharisees and Sadducees and a keen analysis of their importance in the context of the beginnings of Christianity.

This little volume is a masterpiece of interpretation and representation, and offers insight into inner Jewish history from the first century BCE to the end of the first century CE. This essay should be classified among the great works of theological investigation. Even today it retains its significance as a milestone in biblical studies."--BOOK JACKET.
