In New Testament times, the Pharisees were the largest, most influential and strictest of the three major sects of Judaism (the Essenes were the third). According to the Jewish historian Josephus, there were over 6,000 Pharisees (the name means " the separated ones") at the height of their popularity.
The Pharisees pledged themselves to obey not only the written Law of Moses, but also every tradition that had been added to the law through the years, and they were "ritualists;" tremendous sticklers to the smallest detail in their keeping. They were thought of by others as haughty and arrogant, as they believed themselves to be the sole interpreters of God and His Word, which brought them into sharp contention with Jesus.
Their basic doctrines included predestination and immortality of the soul, a belief in angels and the spirit world, and they believed that the souls of the wicked would remain forever under the earth, while the souls of the righteous would be resurrected.
The New Testament casts the Pharisees almost entirely in a bad light, but Jesus' strongest condemnations were actually against a worldly degeneration of their true beliefs and practices, as many among the Pharisees strove to promote genuine piety.
The Sadducees are best defined not by any particular beliefs, but by what they denied in comparison to the Pharisees. They accepted only the written Law of Moses, rejecting all additional oral traditions. They also denied the resurrection, immortality of the soul, and the existence of angels and the spirit world.
