Judaism ( pl .): One of the three Jewish sects. The current tradition, which was first published by Rabbi Nathan in the second century, is that the Sadducees derived their name from a certain Zadok, a disciple of An tigon us of Soko (B. C. 200170). In the opinion of Geiger and others, the Zadok from whom they derive their name was the priest who declared in favor of Solomon when the High Priest Abiathar adhered to Adonijah (1 Kings i. 32-45). His descendants had a subsequent preeminence (Ezek. xl. 46, xliii. 19, xliv. 15, xlviii. 11). Not that the Sadducees became a party so early, or that Zadok was their founder; but that some of them may have been his descendants, and all admired his fidelity to the theocratic government, even when the head of the priesthood had gone astray. It was their desire to be equally faithful. All the Jews admitted that the Mosaic law was given at Sinai by Jehovah himself. Most of the people, with the concurrence and support of the Pharisees, believed that an oral law of Moses had similarly come from God. The Sadducees rejected this view, and would accept nothing beyond the written word. They were the Protestants of the older economy. Certain consequences followed. In the Mosaic law there is no reference to a state Sadh, Saadh, s. [Hind., .=pure or Puritan.] Compar. Religions ( pl .): A Hindu religious sect founded, A. D. 1658, by a man called Birbhan.
