Examines the positive nad negative characteristics of the Pharisees and relates these to faith today.


Zealous for scripture.
Scrupulous in their giving.
Dedicated to living untainted by evil.
Conscientious in obedience to God's commands.


These phrases describe Pharisees. And they describe our own evangelicals. Yet most of us have failed to appreciate the rich parallels to ourselves.


We have focused on the Pharisees as negative characters. By so doing, we forfeit the practical benefit God intended by revealing so much about them.


In this honest, eye-opening book Tom Hovestol examines the Pharisees. Exploring their historical and biblical roots, he discovers penetrating truths that can warn, enlighten and protect believers to avoid their disastrous path.
