Judea had fallen under Roman Occupation. While there was a degree of secularization, there was also an entrenchment of the religious structure and a fight for the future of Judaism. The elite and powerful Sadducees were the High Priests who held a more constrictive view of Jewish teaching and the more popular/populist Pharisees had a more open and nuanced view of Jewish teaching.
