    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Um das Phänomen bürgerlicher Wohltätigkeit konzise zu erfassen, untersucht David Wyman dokumentarische und literarische Quellen - einschließlich des Phänomens der Wohltäter, die für die Wohltat ihr Leben riskieren. Vor diesem Panorama analysiert er, wie der Brief des Paulus an die Galater Sprache, Motive und Beziehungsdynamik der Wohltätigkeit aufnimmt. Paul's use of χάρις in his letter to the Galatians provides a gateway to understanding the letter within the broader cultural framework of civic benefaction. In this book, David Wyman examines literary and documentary sources to reconstruct a Hellenistic cultural encyclopedia of gift-giving and civic benefaction within which to situate Paul's letter to the Galatians. This perspective illuminates numerous words, phrases, themes, and relational dynamics within the letter. Paul inherits and uses aspects of benefaction in a way that conforms to his cultural context yet reveals his own individuality.
