Summary "The Old Paths, or the Talmud Tested by Scripture" by Alexander McCaul is a theological work written in the late 19th century. The book aims to critically compare the principles and doctrines of modern Judaism, particularly those rooted in the Talmud, with the foundational teachings of Moses and the Prophets as presented in the Scriptures. It presents an exploration of how Rabbinic traditions align or conflict with the original teachings of Biblical Judaism. At the start of the work, the author introduces crucial themes related to the interpretation of salvation and the role of Jewish tradition. McCaul argues that both Judaism and Christianity stem from the same religious heritage, with Christianity presenting a fulfillment of Jewish teachings. He critiques contemporary Jewish practices derived from the Talmud, spotlighting issues such as the treatment of women, slaves, and Gentiles, and querying the legitimacy of these traditions in light of Biblical teachings. The opening sets the stage for McCaul's detailed analysis of Rabbinic laws, positioning them as deviations from the original tenets of faith as imparted through the Old Testament.
