The Old Paths: Or, A Comparison Of The Principles And Doctrines Of Modern Judaism With The Religion Of Moses And The Prophets by Alexander McCaul is a 19th-century polemical Christian tract that contrasts Rabbinic Judaism's Oral Law with the religion of Moses and the Prophets. It cites Jewish prayers and Talmudic passages (Sanhedrin, Shabbath, Berachoth, Menachot, etc.), along with authorities such as Rambam, Rashi, Saadia Gaon, and Aben Ezra, to argue that the oral tradition is composed of legends, magic, astrology, amulets, and legal strictures. The work contends that these elements undermine the divine origin and moral credibility of Rabbinic Judaism and stand in opposition to Mosaic teaching and the Christian gospel. It portrays Christianity as the true continuation of biblical faith and calls Jews to renounce Rabbinic authority in favor of Moses, the prophets, and Jesus. The tract is forthright, didactic, and overtly apologetic, addressing both Jewish and Christian readers and laying groundwork for broader critiques of Rabbinic ethics, law, and ritual.
