Alexander McCaul reproduces on page after page of this volume, passages from the Babylonian Talmud and other sacred rabbinic texts in their original Hebrew and Aramaic, and then translates them into English, so there can be no question of misquoting, or taking out of context. The Talmud Tested is the most convincing and comprehensive Christian textbook on Judaism since Eisenmenger. McCaul was the Victorian Eisenmenger. This is a timeless work, as valuable as a key instructional text for Christian missionaries in the twenty-first century, as it was in the nineteenth. Since it is addressed to Judaic believers in the rabbinic traditions, it serves a dual purpose: to unconverted Judaic people in merciful solicitude for their salvation, and to Christian apologists and evangelists (and scholars and researchers in general), who seek authentic and reliable knowledge of the inner doctrines of the religion of Orthodox Judaism. This edition of The Talmud Tested from Independent History and Research (originally published in 1846 as The Old Paths), represents the clearest and most readable McCaul facsimile on the market, and is supplemented by a new introduction by Michael Hoffman, a leading scholar of Judaism, wherein readers are introduced to McCaul and his world, and the history of his London Society for the Conversion of the Jews, as well as the extent to which Judaic persons were considered the natural object of missionary zeal when Christianity was still worthy of the name.

Alexander Herzen's own brilliance and the extraordinary circumstances of his life combine to place his memoirs among the great testimonies of the modern era. Born in 1812, the illegitimate son of a wealthy Russian landowner, he became one of the most important revolutionary and intellectual figures of his time - as theorist, polemicist and political actor; and fifty years after his death Lenin pronounced him 'the father of Russian socialism'. My Past and Thoughts uniquely assimilates the personal to the historical, and is both a classic of autobiography an an unparalleled record of his century's remarkable life. His account of a privileged childhood among the Russian aristocracy is illuminated with the insight of a great novelist; his friends and enemies - Marx, Wagner, Mill, Bakunin, Garibaldi, Kropotkin - are brought brilliantly to life; and as a sceptical and free-thinking observer, he unerringly traces the line of revolutionary development, from the earliest stirrings of Russian radicalism through the tumultuous ideological debates of the International. 'His power of observation is extraordinary. He tells a story with the economy of a great reporter. His gift is for knowing not only what people are, but how they are historically situated. Somewhere in the pages of this hard, honest observer of what movements do to men, we shall find ourselves.' - V. S. Pritchett
