Summary:Portrayals of the Sadducees as the villains of early Judaism usually follow from the failure to realise that historical understanding is more than quoting from ancient sources. The sources should be carefully interpreted so that we recognise their points of view and avoid making the ancients unreal reflections of our preferences. A discussion of relevant sources is followed by a contextual consideration of the possible social roles, beliefs and values of the Sadducees.
