[[Circumcision]] is widely believed to be a good "Christian value" by a few Christians in different parts of the world, including the United States, South Korea, Africa and The Philippines. Christian advocates of male infant circumcision often cite the [[Abrahamic covenant|covenant between god and Abraham ]] as outlined in the book of Genesis (e.g., the Old Testament), or believe that since the men of the Old Testament were circumcised, that it must be a good Christian value. Still others acknowledge that male infant circumcision was outlined to Abraham and his descendants, and that gentiles were excluded, but believe the New Testament says it's just a matter of preference, and that gentiles could choose to be circumcised or not, or could choose to have their children circumcised or allowed to be intact.

The Roman Catholic church condemned the practice formally and ordered against its practice in the Ecumenical Council of Basel-Florence in 1442.
