SINOPSIS:

“I felt very depressed and often shed tears when I managed the Papua Province AIDS Commission (PPAC) for 17 years. During that time, I avoided leading prayers at PPAC events out of concern that I wouldn’t be able to complete them because I would be moved to tears. I see and know that many of my brothers and sisters are suffering greatly and even dying in vain as a result of HIV-AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases in Papua, Uganda, and Rwanda in Africa, all of which I have visited.”  (Constant Karma, DVM)

This book, titled Exploring Circumcision in the Bible; A Covenant of God’s Blessings with Abraham for Generations, may raise questions for many Christians and Churches in numerous locations because Circumcision is not widely known and has not been widely discussed among Christians in the Church community, but I believe in God that His Spirit and His Holy Wisdom will help us to understand God’s command to Abraham our ancestors to be circumcised from generation to generation as a sign of God’s Covenant with Abraham known as the Covenant Blessings (Gen 17:1-14).

Written by collecting data and facts from numerous writers about circumcision and its relation to the Bible. This book unfolds notes on circumcision in the Bible concerning the context of the situation in the Land of Papua. Contains an explanation of theological considerations for HIV-AIDS Prevention in Papua and reevaluating circumcision for the health of the people, the practice of voluntary medical male circumcision using the PrePex method, and the Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision Program (VMMC) which has been developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in various regions or countries. In addition, this book offers facts about Male Circumcision for HIV Prevention and Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC) for HIV Prevention at the International HIV-AIDS Conference in Mexico City (August 2008) and the International HIV-AIDS Conference in Washington D.C., United States of America (July 2012). This book is intended to offer a deeper insight to Christians and the Church about Circumcision in the Bible.
