The favor for the memory of John Hyrcanus shown by the writer of ''1 Maccabees'' (16:23,14) renders probable Geiger's opinion that the author was a Sadducee. He shows the party in its best form: his outlook on life is eminently sane, and his history is trustworthy. He has sympathy with the patriotism of the Hasideans, but none with the religious scruples which led them to desert Judas Maccabeus. TIt is also certain that the writer of ''Ecclesiasticus'', from his silence on the national expectation of a Messiah and the hope of a future life, was also a Sadducee.
