Resurrection

Review "Resurrection".

"...As mentioned earlier, the Pharisees and the Sadducees came from two polar opposite perspectives regarding the Torah; the Sadducees held to a very literal perspective of the Torah while the Pharisees equated oral tradition with the Torah, which allowed for much wider interpretation. Since resurrection and the afterlife are never mentioned in the Torah, the Sadducees believed that there was no resurrection, whereas, the Pharisees believed in the resurrection."
