A few questions on studying the religious leaders in Jesus' day

I'm wanting to do a study on the religious leaders in Jesus' day and identity the character traits they had that we should NOT possess.

How can I use Logos to find the biblical passages about the pharisees, sadducees, scribes, teachers of the law, or any other term used to describe the religious leaders?

Are there any good search terms that would be helpful for searching the rest of my library (dictionaries, journals, etc.)?

Does anyone know of any extra biblical literature that would provide insight?

Thanks.

What Jesus said to them (in the bible) usually reflected their undesirable character traits e.g. speaker:Jesus INTERSECTS (addressee:Pharisees OR addressee:Sadducees)

You can add others to the list e.g. scribes.

person:"A Scribe" OR person:Pharisees OR person:"Pharisees accusing Jesus" OR person:Sadducees is more direct as their mention (in the bible) usually comes with undesirable character traits.

People entries in Factbook will provide a more general Search that you should adapt to a Books Search (rather than ALL Search) i.e. entries for Pharisees, Sadducees, Scribes (Law Scribe).
