Applying a sociological approach to the available biblical and literary sources, Saldarini accurately portrays these three most prominent groups of educated leaders in Jewish society and describes their relationship with other Jewish social movements from 200 B.C.E. to 100 C.E. Widely praised in its original edition and now available with a significant foreword by James C. VanderKam, Pharisees, Scribes, and Sadducees in Palestinian Society will remain a standard point of reference for the continuing study of Judaism and Christian backgrounds.   Reader's Index Send us your favorite quotes or passages from this book.   About the Author Anthony J.
