    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.

    Short description:

    "Die Beiträge in diesem Band weiten die in ""Diakone und Diakonia im frühen Christentum"" (2018) begonnene Arbeit auf die patristische Ära aus. Der Band leistet damit einen weiteren Beitrag zu unserem Verständnis der Entwicklung von Leitungsstrukturen in der Vergangenheit und zu den heutigen ökumenischen Diskussionen. In this volume, scholars from a variety of backgrounds extend the work begun in Deacons and Diakonia in Early Christianity (2018) into the patristic era, further contributing to our understanding of how leadership structures developed in the past and informing ecumenical discussions today."

    "Die Beiträge in diesem Band weiten die in ""Diakone und Diakonia im frühen Christentum"" (2018) begonnene Arbeit auf die patristische Ära aus. Der Band leistet damit einen weiteren Beitrag zu unserem Verständnis der Entwicklung von Leitungsstrukturen in der Vergangenheit und zu den heutigen ökumenischen Diskussionen. Following the volume Deacons and Diakonia in the Early Church: The First Two Centuries (2018), this collection continues the study of deacons into the patristic era. Once again, scholars from a range of backgrounds − each an expert on a particular early Christian author or text − consider the use of diakonos and related words, this time from the third century onwards. These texts reveal what deacons did, further contributing to our understanding of how leadership structures developed in the past and giving guidance for the present, particularly in ecumenical discussions concerning the ministry."
