a member of a politically influential Jewish party in Jerusalem at the time of Jesus and the apostles. The Sadducees were a smaller group than the Pharisees (see semantic domain 11.49), but were often in control of important political and religious positions. Their denial of the resurrection of the dead and their acceptance of only the first five books of the OT are important elements in some of the important differences which arose between the Sadducees and the Pharisees
