Abraham's Heirs: Jews and Christians in Medieval Europeedit
Glick published Abraham's Heirs: Jews And Christians In Medieval Europe in 1999, focusing on the interaction between Jews and Christians during the 5th to 15th century.[5]
The book argues that the Jewish experience was profoundly shaped by the overwhelmingly medieval Christian majority.[6]
Marked in Your Flesh: Circumcision From Ancient Judea To Modern Americaedit
Glick published Marked In Your Flesh: Circumcision From Ancient Judea To Modern America in 2005. It deals with the history of brit milah.[7]
He theorizes that milah originated during the Babylonian exile among the Judean priests who are believed to have composed the P source of the Torah. And that the main justification among Jewish philosophers and religious leaders lies in beliefs surrounding the control of male sexuality, as a visual marker of the Abrahamic covenant, beliefs surrounding fertility, and a sign of the father submitting to the political social order.[8]
Personal lifeedit
Glick was a Reform Jew.[4][9] He had three sons.[8] He passed away aged 94 on January 9, 2024.[10]
