Pharisees, Scribes, and Sadducees in Palestinian Society

Theology
"A significant and timely book that will rightly be regarded as influential in the field."

Catholic Biblical Quarterly
"Saldarini has written an impressive, disciplined study."

E. P. Sanders
"The best single book on the Pharisees, scribes, and Sadducees."

Stephen C. Barton in King's Theological Review
"A major milestone in the scholarly study of the Pharisees, scribes, and Sadducees. In methodological sophistication, coverage of the sources, and organization of the debate, it builds upon and surpasses previous investigations. It is also written in a very lucid and uncomplicated style which makes it a pleasure to read. . . It deserves to be widely read by students of early Judaism and of the world of the New Testament."

Martin Goodman in Journal of Jewish Studies
"Students will benefit much from Saldarini's analysis."
