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:
This volume offers a reinterpretation of the late medieval Augustinian tradition by analyzing the political, religious, theological, institutional, and mythical components that formed the self-identity of the Augustinian Order from the late 13th century to the emergence of Martin Luther.
MoreLong description:
This volume reveals the political, religious, theological, institutional, and mythical ideals that formed the self-identity of the Augustinian Order from Giles of Rome to the emergence of Martin Luther. Based on detailed philological analysis, this interdisciplinary study not only transforms the understanding of Augustine's heritage in the later Middle Ages, but also that of Luther's relationship to his Order. The work offers a new interpretative model of late medieval religious culture that sheds new light on the relationship between late medieval Passion devotion, the increasing demonization of the Jews, and the rise of catechetical literature. It is the first volume of a planned trilogy that seeks to return late medieval Augustinian theology to the historical context of Augustinian religion.
'High Way to Heaven will become mandatory reading for scholars of late medieval and early modern intellectual and religious history. As indeed it should.'
John M. Frymire, Renaissance Quarterly, 2005.
'The book does make overarching archuments, but the whole is not crucially important for an understanding of the parts. Readers interested in particular themes, such as catechesis, devotion to Passion, Apocalyse commentaries, dissemination of theology, or the roots of the Lutheran Reformation, should take note that there are shorter books within this longer one that would repay their attention.'
Richard Kieckheffer, Speculum, 2005.
'Saak's study is a work of immense historical learning and essential reading for anyone interested in late medieval religion. It is also methodologically sophisticated, moving almost effortlessly from straightforward historical narrative, to social historical analysis, to the history of theology and back again.'
Mickey L. Mattox, Theological Studies (2004) 65: 2
