Male and Female Circumcision: Among Jews Christians and Muslims by Dr. Sami A. Aldeeb Abu-Sahlieh . #3 Coburn Hill Road, Warren Center PA 18851-0065. gosline@egypt.net. http://shangri-la.0catch.com
" Originally published in Arabic and also translated into French, Dr. Aldeeb now makes his landmark study of male and female circumcision available to an English speaking audience. Dr. Aldeeb is an advocate in the Swiss Institute of Comparative Law and leading figure in human rights issues. This major work explores the issues of circumcision in Judaism, Christianity and Islam from all aspects; religious, legal, medical, and social. It serves as both a major reference work for the subject and monumental statement of human rights. FOREWORD BY MARILYN FAYRE MILOS Director of NOCIRC As civilization advances, we increasingly recognize the value of debate and discussion. In the not so distant past, however, this was not so. Those who questioned the status quo, or merely sought to clarify it, were at risk of being persecuted, ostracized, punished, imprisoned, or condemned to death. One calls to mind the injustice done to men such as William Tyndale, who was incarcerated for 500 days before he was strangled and burned at the stake in 1536. His crime was translating the Bible into English, which, the Church feared, might lead people to question authority. Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, was ordered to be burned at Oxford on 21 March 1556 for his desire to reform the Church. On 16 October 1555, Nicholas Ridley, Bishop of London, and Hugh Latimer, Bishop of Worcester, were also burned at the stake in Oxford for the "heresy" of seeking to revivify a moribund state religion. During the reign of Queen Mary, Bloody Mary, hundreds of innocent people were burnt alive for the crime of independent thought. Latimer's last words at the stake are well known: "Be of good cheer, Master Ridley, and play the man, for we shall this day light such a candle in England as I trust by God's grace shall never be put out". Galileo (1564-1642), great scientific mind of his age, was condemned of heresy for astronomical and mathematical discoveries. In order to escape torture and death, he was forced to sign a confession, abjuring his discoveries and proclaiming the truth in the Church's doctrine that the earth was the center of the universe and that it did not move. Similarly, the horrors of the Spanish Inquisition were visited upon hundreds of thousands of innocent men and women simply because they were suspected of believing something contrary to official doctrine. Thankfully, our society has evolved to a point where the mere idea of heresy is an affront to modern sensibilities. Freedom of conscience is now one of the most highly protected guarantees in Western legal systems. The thought that someone might be persecuted or prosecuted for his or her beliefs is anathema. Still, there remain those areas where debate and discussion are still feared and actively repressed. Perhaps it is because we pride ourselves on the great progress we have made in the area of social justice that we are loath to admit that there might still be some aspects of our cultures that should be questioned. It is easier to shut our eyes to social injustice than to speak out, ask questions and seek to make this a safer and fairer world. From my own personal experience as a nurse, educator and social activist, I can tell you that the issue of circumcision is one of those topics that still arouses anger, rage and charges of heresy. It is not only religious institutions that have sought to silence those who question this practice; the medical profession, which actively engages, promotes and profits from the circumcision of children, has traditionally been quick to condemn those who dare question official medical dogma. Dr. Aldeeb has meticulously and sensitively documented the lengthy and fascinating history of the various religious and medical discussions over circumcision. As a world-renown and highly respected scholar, his expertise in Islamic Law provides fresh perspective on an important aspect of the history of circumcision, largely unavailable to Western scholars. As his book carefully proves, debate over circumcision is as old as the practice itself. Official attempts to quell any debate are also of equal antiquity. I am confident, though, that valuable historical information in this book will strengthen current worldwide debate over circumcision and will infuse it with a greater degree of rational and historical perspective. William Tyndale's last words were: "Lord, open the eyes of the King of England". I believe that Dr. Aldeeb's monumental efforts will measurably contribute to the growing body of evidence that is opening the eyes of the world and helping human society continue its advancement, not only towards a renewed commitment to protecting freedom of conscience, but also towards a recognition that every human being - regardless of his age, gender, race, culture, ethnicity, religion, or any other trait - has a right to bodily integrity, sovereignty over his or her own body and freedom from interference with his or her person.

The Coins of Pontius Pilate by Jean-Philippe Fontanille and Sheldon Gosline. #3 Coburn Hill Road, Warren Center PA 18851-0065. gosline@egypt.net. http://shangri-la.0catch.com
" This is the ultimate book for the study of Pontius Pilate's coins. For Christians, the name "Pontius Pilate" is known for one reason. He has the dubious distinction of being connected with statements of faith; in the Apostles' or Nicene Creed. For Jews, Pilate was the official emblem of their foreign oppressor and this crucifixion was no different than many others the Romans performed during the subjugation of their land. The authors have gathered all available information concerning the man, his time and his coins. In the final analysis, it is the coins themselves, except for one fragmentary inscription, that provide the most tangible evidence of his period in history. Another outstanding aspect in this research is the contribution it provides to ongoing controversy over proposed Pontius Pilate coins over the eyes of the Turin shroud. Some general awareness of these Pilate coins has developed in light of on-going debates over the alleged coin images on the Turin shroud, but that debate has confused and even hampered close examination of the coins themselves. The fact of Pilate cannot be denied, although his relation to Jesus is a matter of faith. The co-authors, Jean-Phillipe Fontanille and Sheldon Lee Gosline, blend their expertise into a remarkably detailed study. In the words of David Hendin, Fellow of the American Numismatic Society, "it is the first time a person has gathered, from both primary and secondary sources, all the relevant information, historic, religious, and numismatic information about Pontius Pilate". Foreword By David Hendin Pontius Pilate is a man of history. He was a villain to be sure, but a man whose name Christians, Jews and Moslems have become familiar. Only a single inscription mentioning him has survived. Italian archaeologists discovered it, in 1961, at the ancient Mediterranean port of Caesarea Maritima and it is inscribed with Pilate¡¯s own name and the title 'PRAEFECTUS IVDAEAE.' That stone (currently exhibited at The Israel Museum, Jerusalem), of course, was not the only contemporary written evidence that Pilate existed, because we have the New Testament itself, and also the writings of first century Jewish historian Flavius Josephus. We also have the coins of Pontius Pilate. Quite surprisingly, they are rather common for historic objects nearly 2,000 years old. Reasonable examples can be bought for less than $50, and even the best, and rarest examples, will rarely exceed $500. In the past 30 years, I have met hundreds of collectors of Pilate coins. Of all of them, Jean-Philippe Fontanille, a French musician and composer, recently moved to Canada, has had the most burning passion, not only to possess the best and the most interesting examples, but also to thoroughly research and share his information about them. This little book is the culmination of years of work and research on the part of Fontanille and, to my knowledge, it is the first time a person has gathered, from both primary and secondary sources, all of the relevant information, historic, religious, and numismatic information about Pontius Pilate. A research project such as this book is what popular numismatics should be about, and I take my hat off to Prof. Fontanille for his excellent effort. David Hendin, Fellow American Numismatic Society; Author of Guide to Biblical Coins, Collecting Coins, Celator columnist, New York, July 2001 ISBN 0-9677201-4-1, $39.50 Cloth Bound ISBN 0-9677201-5-X, $31.00 Paperback"
