Welcome to the Investigators Guide to the Bible. This episode, we dive into Bad Guy Central and learn about the Sadducees. Boo! Hiss! Let’s see if all the bad stories about them are true. Like and subscribe for new episodes. Share the episode, call mom and dad, and let’s get going: The Sadducees. Who’s Who In The Zoo, Too?
Resources and References so I can pretend I’m really smart:
Today’s work, as I mentioned, is a kluge of the sources below. To learn more about the Sadducees, check out any of the sources below. If you want to learn a lot, check them all out. As always, they get the credit for what is right, and I get the credit for what is wrong.
* Most Bible quotes I used come from the New American Bible, Revised Edition. Washington, DC: Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, 2010 This is just my working Bible for most of these episodes. Any Bible you use will be fine for all of the Biblical references.
