Silverman's new book is a comprehensive overview of Jewish
circumcision throughout history. Beginning with Genesis, the author
traces paradoxes and tensions in biblical-Jewish circumcision as
seen both within Judaism and from the dominant, non-Jewish culture.
Topics include rabbinic literature, early Christianity, Medieval
notions of menstruating Jewish men and the blood libel, the relic
of ChristOs foreskin, modern notions of the Jewish body and Jewish
manhood, and the current debate over Jewish and routine medical
circumcision in America.
