    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:

    First published in 1938, Comparative Religion presents a comparative study of the history of religion intended primarily as a textbook for students, with references and full bibliography of relative literature. It is also designed to give the general reader an account of religious thought and practice in the light of recent research from rudimentary beginnings, through the great religions of antiquity (Egypt, Babylonia, Greece, Rome) to the higher living religions of today (Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Judaism and Christianity). This is an interesting historical reference work for students of comparative religion.
