Presents an overview of Jewish circumcision throughout history. Beginning with "Genesis", this book traces paradoxes and tensions in biblical-Jewish circumcision as seen both within Judaism and from the dominant, non-Jewish culture. It is a useful reading in Jewish studies, medical sociology, and Judaic studies/theology.
