A Biblical Theology of Circumcision
New Studies in Biblical Theology
by Karl Deenick
Series edited by D. A. CarsonGiven the foundational importance of circumcision in the Old Testament and its prevalence in numerous debates in the New Testament, it is surprising that so little detailed work has been done on establishing a biblical theology of circumcision.

paperbackEchoes of Exodus
Tracing a Biblical Motif
by Bryan D. Estelle

An Introduction and Commentary
Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries
