Interpretive reconstructionA documented text or tradition is interpreted through openly fictional scenes.
Ancient sources contrast Sadducean denial of resurrection, angels, and enduring spirit with Pharisaic affirmation. The sources are often written by rivals, and the Sadducees left no surviving literature of their own.
Zadok’s household and dialogue are fictional attempts to give the losing faction an intelligible voice.
