Summary

"The Old Paths, or the Talmud Tested by Scripture" by Alexander McCaul is a late 19th-century analysis that compares modern Judaism's Talmud-based principles with the original teachings of Moses and the Prophets. The book investigates whether Rabbinic traditions agree or disagree with Biblical Judaism's foundation. It touches upon themes like salvation and the role of Jewish tradition, suggesting both Judaism and Christianity share a religious origin, with Christianity fulfilling Jewish teachings. The work scrutinizes contemporary Jewish practices from the Talmud, focusing on the treatment of certain groups and questioning whether these align with Biblical teachings, setting up an analysis of Rabbinic laws as potential departures from Old Testament faith.
