The Pharisees were the liberal Jewish faction. The Sadducees were the
conservative body at the time of Christ. The Pharisees founded the rRabbinical
tradition from which modern Judaism is descended. The tendancy to think of
the Pharisees as the arch-conservatives is a product of the present looking
at the past with present eyes.
