17.20 Revival of male circumcision
Jesus was circumcised. According to Luke 2:21:
And at the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was called Jesus,
the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
According to the Old Testament, Prophet Abraham (pbuh), who was himself
neither a Jew nor a Christian, was the first to be circumcised.
And God said to Abraham, “As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and
your offspring after you throughout their generations. This is my covenant,
which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you:
Every male among you shall be circumcised. You shall be circumcised in the
flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and
you. He who is eight days old among you shall be circumcised.” (Genesis
17:9-12)
Today circumcision is not widely treated as a religious or legal requirement
among Christians, and rates of circumcision vary across different countries.
Although it is a controversial topic for some, the medical benefits have been
documented. In 2012, the American Academy of Pediatrics website published its
“Circumcision Policy Statement,” stating:
Evaluation of current evidence indicates that the health benefits of newborn
male circumcision outweigh the risks and that the procedure’s benefits justify
access to this procedure for families who choose it. Specific benefits
identified included prevention of urinary tract infections, penile cancer, and
transmission of some sexually transmitted infections, including HIV.
According to the World Health Organization website:
There is compelling evidence that male circumcision reduces the risk of
heterosexually acquired HIV infection in men by approximately 60%.
