De Carnis Resurrectione
Jewish sect noted for denying the resurrection, compared to the Epicureans and to contemporary heretics.
But if even in God's sight there is some sect more akin to the Epicureans than to the prophets, we shall know what the Sadducees are to hear from Christ.
So, what he did not wish to seem to rescind, he surely confirmed — the faith of resurrection, according to the Pharisees — spurning its deniers, the Sadducees.
The cause, I think, of the question was the destruction of the resurrection — since the Sadducees admit the salvation neither of the soul nor of the flesh — and therefore from that very form of resurrection by which faith is most undermined they fitted an argument to their problem:
Dissertations on Early Law and Custom
A Jewish sect whose casuistical question to Jesus about the Levirate is reported in Matthew.
The Levirate, under which the son is born to the dead man from his brother, ‘that his name be not put out of Israel,’ is best known to Englishmen from the casuistical question of the Sadducees in the twenty-second chapter of St.
The Rights of War and Peace
Jewish sect that denied resurrection and was not punished for the error.

Adversus Marcionem
Jewish sect denying the resurrection, who pose the question of the woman with seven husbands to Christ.

De Monogamia
Jewish sect whose question about levirate marriage is referenced
If, then, because it is enjoined in the law that a man should take his brother's wife, when the brother has died without children, in marriage, to raise up seed to his brother—and this can the oftener befall a single person, according to that crafty question of the Sadducees—they therefore think that a frequency of marriages is permitted in other cases also, they must first understand the reason o …
De Praescriptionibus Hereticorum
Jewish sect identified as originators of denial of the resurrection, a view later echoed by Marcion, Apelles, and Valentinus.
This opinion is proper to the Sadducees.
