The '''Pharisees''' were a prominent religious and political group in [[Second Temple Judaism]]. They emerged during the [[Hasmonean dynasty]] (140–37 BCE) and played a significant role in the development of [[Rabbinic Judaism]].<br />
<br />
==Origins and History==<br />
The Pharisees originated as a movement within [[Judaism]] during the [[Second Temple period]]. They are believed to have emerged around the 2nd century BCE in response to the [[Hellenization]] policies of the [[Seleucid Empire]]. The Pharisees were known for their strict adherence to the [[Torah]] and the [[Oral Law]], which they believed was equally authoritative.<br />
<br />
==Beliefs and Practices==<br />
The Pharisees emphasized the importance of the [[Oral Torah]], a body of interpretations and traditions that complemented the written [[Torah]]. They believed in the resurrection of the dead, the existence of angels and spirits, and divine providence. Their practices included regular prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. They also observed [[ritual purity]] laws and were meticulous in their observance of the [[Sabbath]] and other religious festivals.<br />
<br />
==Conflict with Other Groups==<br />
The Pharisees often found themselves in conflict with other Jewish sects, such as the [[Sadducees]], who rejected the Oral Torah and denied the resurrection of the dead. The Pharisees also had differences with the [[Essenes]], a separatist group that lived in communal settings and practiced asceticism. Despite these conflicts, the Pharisees were influential in shaping the future of Judaism.<br />
<br />
==Role in the New Testament==<br />
The Pharisees are frequently mentioned in the [[New Testament]], where they are often portrayed as opponents of [[Jesus]]. They are depicted as being concerned with the letter of the law rather than its spirit, leading to numerous confrontations with Jesus over issues such as [[Sabbath]] observance and ritual purity.<br />
<br />
==Legacy==<br />
After the destruction of the [[Second Temple]] in 70 CE, the Pharisees' emphasis on the Oral Torah and their interpretative methods became foundational for [[Rabbinic Judaism]]. Their teachings were preserved in the [[Mishnah]] and later in the [[Talmud]], which continue to be central texts in Judaism.<br />
