>during the period of the Jewish commonwealth and most of the Persian period, residents of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah didn't circumcise their sons. All the kings of Israel and Judah, from King David through Zedekiah, were uncircumcised. The prophets, from Amos and Hosea to Jeremiah and Ezekiel, were also uncircumcised.

I love both those authors and am parched for essay collections of the same style.
I would characterize this style as walking around looking at stuff (a cruise ship, a christian rock festival, a neolithic cave system...) and bringing out super interesting and original lines of thought about them in a funny and readable style.
Thanks!
Was awesome having my buddy David Lucas on the show.
We talk about knowing each other the last 9 years, being Pescatarian, and a lot of fun riffs!
