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:
Who were the key developers of Christian understanding from the time of the Early Church to our own generation? What impact did they have on their contemporaries? What legacies did they leave for the thinkers of the future? Taken from the highly acclaimed Oxford Companion to Christian Thought, this small volume offers 23 stimulating accounts of the thinking of the leading intellectuals in Christian history. Despite living at different periods and within different
traditions, they shared a common purpose to reflect on the meaning of the Christian message and to share their understanding with their fellow men and women. Their ideas have endured the test of time and remain a vital inheritance for both Christianity and secular philosophy.
Long description:
Man is a born philosopher and since the beginning of existence he has been searching for a meaning to life.
Key Thinkers in Christianity introduces some of the most brilliant minds we have known and shows the capacity of their ideas to endure the test of time and shape the way philosophy and Christianity have developed throughout history.
From Irenaeus in the 2nd century to Hans Urs von Balthasar in the 20th century, this short selection links together some of the most profound ideas of all time, taking the reader on a journey through a history of thought, relevant for both Christian and non-Christian thinkers of the future.
Some of the thinkers in this volume were not chosen purely for their insights and observations, but for the fact that other thinkers since have gone back to their ideas, others represent an age or a way of thinking. Although these thinkers are no longer alive, their observations and ideas remain important and their throughts are still the subject of study today.
