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.

MoreLong description:
In this volume, the modern scholarly consensus that the Bethsaida of the Gospels was east of the Jordan River and the concomitant negative assessment of the evangelists’ geographical knowledge is subjected to a meticulous multidisciplinary scrutiny. Recourse is made, inter alia, to textual criticism, archaeology, numismatics, odology, anemology and linguistics. The ancient literary record is scoured, in the original languages, for all and any relevant references: Josephus Flavius, Pliny, Ptolemy, Julian the Apostate, Origen, Eusebius, Jerome, Epiphanius, John Chrysostom, Augustine, rabbinic literature, apocryphal literature, pilgrim reports and finally the Gospels themselves. It is argued that the one-Bethsaida-east-of-the-Jordan-River-theory with all its implications does not withstand scrutiny.
