Sciolism
Sciolism is superficial knowledge.
Jesus illuminated the Pharisees' sciolism by exposing the hyporisy of Israel's law enforcers. They knew in detail all that the law said but did not follow its true meaning.
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others." (Matthew 23:3, NASB)
Note: This image ("Jesus upbraideth the scribes and Pharisees") was engraved in 1728.
