Pharisees

World Encyclopedia | 2005 | © World Encyclopedia 2005, originally published by Oxford University Press 2005. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

Pharisees Members of a conservative Jewish religious group, prominent in ancient Palestine from the 2nd century bc to the time of the destruction of the second Temple in Jerusalem (ad 70). For much of this period, they constituted a political party opposed to the pagan influences of their Greek and Roman conquerors, but by New Testament times they were largely non-political. They were the founders of orthodox Judaism and were often in conflict with the Sadducees.
