    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:

    In Early Biblical Hebrew, Late Biblical Hebrew, and Linguistic Variability, Dong-Hyuk Kim attempts to adjudicate between the two seemingly irreconcilable views over the linguistic dating of biblical texts. Whereas the traditional opinion, represented by Avi Hurvitz, believes that Late Biblical Hebrew was distinct from Early Biblical Hebrew and thus one can date biblical texts on linguistic grounds, the more recent view argues that Early and Late Biblical Hebrew were merely stylistic choices through the entire biblical period. Using the variationist approach of (historical) sociolinguistics and on the basis of the sociolinguistic concepts of linguistic variation and different types of language change, Kim convincingly argues that there is a third way of looking at the issue.

    " ?The bigger, the better.? This rule seems to be the guiding principle of many doctoral dissertations published recently. Hence, it is so encouraging to see a dissertation which is concise and lucid, applies a clear methodology to deal with a specific problem, uses a wisely delimited body of evidence and arrives at conclusions which contribute to the current discussion on the topic. This is the case with Dong-Hyuk Kim?s book, which originated as a dissertation at Yale University. Its publication in the prestigious series of Supplements to Vetus Testamentum is an honour not only to the author but also to the series itself."
