Example of interest: "The distinctive eschatological doctrine of Pharisaism was the teaching of the resurrection of the dead. Aside from the sporadic interest in apocalyptic which was early developed and as suddenly dropped among the Pharisees, the scribes produced nothing else original in this sphere. Josephus is our authority for the existence of a difference between the Pharisees and Sadducees at this point. The former, he said, held "that all souls are incorruptible," while the latter "[took] away the belief of the immortal duration of the soul". [Antiquities XVIII.i.3] It seems, however, that it is quite impossible for this statement to be correct as it stands. It is well known that the Greeks, along with all primitive peoples, accepted the idea of immortality in some guise, and the Sadducees were the Hellenizers among the Jews of the late pre-Christian centuries. It is likely, therefore, that Josephus, writing for the Romans as he was, was endeavoring to represent the disputes between the two Jewish parties in terms which he judged would prove intelligible to this readers." [164-165]

Bowman goes on to suggest that the "real dispute" had to do, not with the immortality of the soul, but with the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead, a subject which would have been unintelligible to Josephus' Roman readers. Citing two sources: Dictum in M. Sanhedrin 10:1 "And these are they that have no share in the world to come: he that says that there is no resurrection of the dead prescribed in the Law". And from the "saint' progress" in M. Sotah 9:15 (A.D. 165-200) which reads in part, "The Holy Spirit leads to the resurrection of the dead." Joins Moore who shows that resurrection of the body was the normal Hebraic teaching, "in view of the Semitic doctrine of the integral part the body occupies in the constitution of the personality, just as for the opposite reasons the immortality of the soul was the normative pagan teaching.". The "spirit" (ruach) viewed as distributed through the body, animating every part. ( )
