The Teaching of the Pharisees
The emphasis of the teaching of the Pharisees was, for the most part, moral
rather than theological. They themselves got entangled with the legal minutia
and the great mass of theology about the Law. Their main downfall was in not
following the principles that they themselves taught but made the Law a burden
with their oral traditions
The
After Life,
Free
Will,
Angelology,
Humanity
It was claimed by the Sadducees that these distinctive teachings of the
Pharisees (i.e., resurrection and the after life; angelology and demonology) had
been borrowed from the Persians and Babylonians, and especially the Zoroastrian
religion.
