his statement surprises me, because the New Testament among other
documents bears witness to the continuation of the Sadducees as a
powerful force in the 1st century CE. Indeed Acts 4:17 tells us that the
High Priest himself was one of the Sadducees. And Acts 23:8 tells us
that the Sadducees denied the resurrection, angels and spirits. How does
this tally with this picture of the Sadducees submitting themselves to
quite different teachings 200 years earlier?
