    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:

    Die kontrovers diskutierte Frage nach dem Genre der Evangelien erfährt durch die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes vielfältige neue Impulse. Ins Spiel gebracht werden literarische, rhetorische, aber auch kulturwissenschaftliche Zugänge, die alle in fruchtbarer Weise neue Beobachtungen an den antiken Erzählungen ermöglichen. In this volume, the ongoing debate regarding the genre of the Gospels is given new impetus through contributions from diverse methodological perspectives, which disclose new stirrings and sightings of broader, more heuristically promising literary, rhetorical, and cultural registers which intersect in ancient narrative.

    Long description:

    Die kontrovers diskutierte Frage nach dem Genre der Evangelien erfährt durch die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes vielfältige neue Impulse. Ins Spiel gebracht werden literarische, rhetorische, aber auch kulturwissenschaftliche Zugänge, die alle in fruchtbarer Weise neue Beobachtungen an den antiken Erzählungen ermöglichen. The Gospels continue to defy efforts to fix 'generic' boundaries for determining their meanings. This volume discloses new stirrings and sightings of broader, more heuristically promising literary, rhetorical, and cultural registers which intersect in ancient narrative. The contributors seek to build upon or vigorously critique current generic hypotheses (biography, history, tragedy); to introduce recent insights and developments in genre theory; to probe ancient reception of the Gospels as works of literature; and to illuminate the relations between the literary characteristics of the Gospels and methodological advances in narratology, social memory, intertextuality, and performance.
