Edersheim on Rabbinism (Phariseeism)

Beyond the four corners of its reasoning, Rabbinism acknowledges no authority whatsoever, on earth--be it priestly or royal--or heaven. . . . Rabbinism recognised no authority, not even that of an audible voice from heaven, outside its own hard and dry logic. (Prophecy and History in Relation to the Messiah, Grand Rapids: Baker Book House, [1901] 1980, p.23.)
