But I cannot overcome my repugnance and I won't try. 'I wonder, said Stanley, with a sly look of enquiry, 'that you who read the Bible and a very good book it is no doubt and believe in all sorts of things 'That will do, Stanley. I'm not so weak as you suppose. 'You know, Radie, I'm a Sadducee and that sort of thing does not trouble me the least in the world. It is a little cold here.
And, further, as we look into the motives of Christ's murderers devout Pharisee and conservative Sadducee, Roman politician and false friend, bawling rabble and undiscriminating soldiery, the host of indifferent or approving faces of the public behind them they seem strangely familiar to us. They have been, they are still, alive by turns in us.
Into the inmost heart of maid, wife, mother, creeps the confessional, tainting, souring, defiling society in its springs, a leaven of malice and wickedness, a leaven at once of Pharisee and Sadducee, a superstition that believes everything in alliance with a scepticism that believes nothing, and all combined to conceal the salvation of God and enslave the spirits of men.
Cotton Mather forthwith published a terrific account of the ghostly crisis, mixed with denunciations of the Sadducee or Atheist who disbelieved; and to the book was added a preface, written by the four other clergymen who had assisted with their prayers, the character of which may be judged by a single extract. "Consider also, the misery of them whom witchcraft may be let loose upon.
I will leave the description of these structures for the ready pen and speech of our friend Burton. I will take for my text this sentiment from the New Testament: "I will draw all men unto me, and there shall be one church and one people." Christ made no distinction between the Sadducee and the Pharisee, the publican and the saint, the high priest of the temple and the lowliest of his followers.
Without the absolute denial of the Sadducee, Almamen had, probably, much of the quiet scepticism which belonged to many sects of the early Jews, and which still clings round the wisdom of the wisest who reject the doctrine of Revelation; and while he had not sought to eradicate from the breast of his daughter any of the vague desire which points to a Hereafter, he had never, at least, directed her thoughts or aspirations to that solemn future.
Was not their chief, "James, the brother of the Lord," reverenced alike by Sadducee, Pharisee, and Nazarene?
"What are you?" he repeated. "Only a poor doubting, mocking, useless Sadducee, I suppose," said the son as he bent again over the Religio Medici. There was a touch of dejection in his voice, which served to disarm that resentment which his father felt towards every view of anything that varied from the consecrated commonplace. The door-bell rang, and Mrs.
Of the more vital and, did we but know it, the profoundly interesting social and religious history of the time, of the development of the Pharisee and Sadducee sects, we hear little, and that little is unreliable and superficial. Josephus reproduces the deficiencies of his sources in their dealings with Jewish events.
Friend Arthur was a Sadducee, and the Baptist might be in the Wilderness shouting to the poor, who were listening with all their might and faith to the preacher's awful accents and denunciations of wrath or woe or salvation; and our friend the Sadducee would turn his sleek mule with a shrug and a smile from the crowd, and go home to the shade of his terrace, and muse over preacher and audience, and turn to his roll of Plato, or his pleasant Greek song-book babbling of honey and Hybla, and nymphs and fountains and love.
