| Pharisaism is, as it were, the culmination of a biblical movement, of a living tradition which began around Deuteronomy after and even before the exile. |
| Religious Life withdraws from pure interiority, affirming the incarnation of grace, as well as rejecting pharisaism, legalism, and the externalization of religious rites without a corresponding inner experience. |
| Pharisaism and rabbinism in particular made an effort to realize this attitude. |
| Serious and substantial doubts about Paul's former life as a Pharisee, or even any contact with pharisaism on his part, have been raised. |
| There hangs over the Church a great danger of pharisaism, that is, knowing all about God without ever having encountered Him. |
| There was a blaze of brutal pharisaism that put a bar-sinister across any claim to gentlemanliness on the part of the majority. |
