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

Originally published in Arabic, Dr. Aldeebs landmark study of male and female circumcision is now available to an English speaking audience. This work explores all religious, legal, medical and social issues relating to circumcision among Jews, Christians and Muslims. It will stand for a long time as both a major reference work for the subject and a monumental statement on human rights. As civilization advances, we increasingly recognize the value of debate and discussion. Here Dr. Aldeeb unlocks one of the major taboo subjects, yet to be addressed openly. As a world-renown and highly respected scholar, his expertise in Islamic Law provides a fresh perspective on important aspects of the study. He has written many books and articles on Arab and Islamic law and the Middle East political situation, and has lectured extensively across the world on these topics. This book will strengthen current worldwide debate over circumcision, infusing it with a rational and historical perspective.Sami Awad Aldeeb Abu-Sahlieh is the author of 'Male & Female Circumcision: Among Jews, Christians and Muslims Religious, Medical, Social and Legal Debate (Marco Polo Monographs, 5)' with ISBN 9780967720166 and ISBN 0967720168.
