5.0 out of 5 stars The best study of Circumcision!, January 11, 2003

Kim Khabuli (Cornell University) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Male & Female Circumcision: Among Jews, Christians and Muslims Religious, Medical, Social and Legal Debate (Marco Polo Monographs, 5) (Paperback)

Dr. Sami Aldeeb Abu-Sahlieh presents the most complete study of circumcision ever written. With the fine skills of an attorney he logically deconstructs the myths and misconceptions of this ancient practice. Circumcision is a profoundly taboo subject, but this work places every aspect of the subject under close scrutiny. It is a vital study on many fronts; medical, religious, social, legal and ethical. I highly recommend it!
