E. ). The hoary priestMattathias and his sons fought for the dearest and noblest treasuresof Judaism. Enthusiasm begets heroism. The Syrian-Greek yoke wasthrown off, and, after groaning under alien rule, the Persian, theEgyptian, and the Syro-Macedonian, for four hundred years, Judeabecame an independent state. In its foreign relations, the new statewas secured by the self-sacrificing courage of the first Maccabeanbrothers, and from within it was supported by the deep-sunk pillars ofthe spiritu...al life. The rise of the three famous parties, theSadducees, the Pharisees, and the Essenes, by no means testifies, asmany would have us believe, to national disintegration, but rather tothe intense spiritual activity of the people. The three tendenciesafforded opportunity for the self-consciousness of the nation toexpress itself in all its variety and force. The unbending religiousdogmatism of the Sadducees, the comprehensive practical sense of thePharisees in religious and Rational concerns, the contemplativemysticism of the Essenes, they are the most important offshoots fromthe Jewish system as held at that time.
