The Sadducees did not believe that the soul survives death or that there would be a resurrection of the dead. Further, they only accepted the Torah, the first five books of the Bible, and did not believe that God is providentially interested in the affairs of the world. In fact, St. Paul took advantage of these differences to provoke an argument between the two sects and divert attention from himself in his hearing before the Sanhedrin (Acts 23:6).
