The books Latin title Saducismus Triumphatus means The Defeat of Sadducism or more accurately The Triumph over Saducism. The Saducees denied the existence of the soul and possibility of life after death, thus contradicting the doctrines of Christ. As anti-Christ, they were seen by Glanvill as the cohorts of Satan. Although Glanvills opinions were close to those of a modern sceptic he was a firm believer in witchcraft , contrary to Webster's skeptical rationalism. |
