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:
The studies in this volume examine the unique communal patterns among Jews and Christians within Roman civic culture and their diverse responses to shared challenges under Imperial rule.
MoreLong description:
Jews and Christians under the Roman Empire shared a unique sense of community. Set apart from their civic and cultic surroundings, both groups resisted complete assimilation into the dominant political and social structures. However, Jewish communities differed from their Christian counterparts in their overall patterns of response to the surrounding challenges. They exhibit diverse levels of integration into the civic fabric of the cities of the Empire and display contrary attitudes towards the creation of trans-local communal networks. The variety of local case studies examined in this volume offers an integrated image of the multiple factors, both internal and external, which determined the role of communal identity in creating a sense of belonging among Jews and Christians under Imperial constraints.
'...Elf Beiträge ausgewiesener Experten, die wichtige Ansätze für eine vergleichende Geschichte von jüdischer und christlicher Gemeindeorganisation in der Antike herausarbeiten. [...] Insgesamt handelt es sich um eine gut organisierte Sammlung von Texten auf durchweg hohem Niveau, die überdies durch ein Sachregister gut erschlossen werden kann.' - Benedikt Eckhardt, Bremen, in: Theologische Revue Nr 3 Jahrgang 113, 2017
This is a stimulating, well-edited volume and will be useful to a wide range of ancient historians and scholars of Ancient Judaism and Early Christianity. The range of methods, sources and macro-/micro-historical perspectives employed is admirably wide. - Bradley J. Bitner, in: BMCR
