Which group accepted all the books of the TNK and included members who believed in resurrection?

• A. Sadducees
• B. Scribes
• C. Priests
• D. Pharisees

Answer: (D)

The Pharisees valued the full Tanakh as authoritative and taught that life after death, including the resurrection, is real. They accepted not only the written Torah but also the broader writings and an oral tradition that interpreted them, which together shaped their belief in resurrection and future judgment. This combination is what sets them apart from groups like the Sadducees, who rejected resurrection and limited themselves to the Torah, or from the other groups that were defined more by roles or affiliations than by their stance on scripture and resurrection.
