    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:

    Janelle Peters zeigt, dass Paulus' Konstruktion eines individuellen Ko?rpers und gemeinschaftlichen Leibes im 1. Korintherbrief als Alternative zu ro?mischen und griechischen Modellen der Bu?rgerschaft dient. Sie verortet den sportlichen Wettkampf und die Kopfbedeckung im 1. Korintherbrief innerhalb der antiken Autorita?t und Staatsbu?rgerschaft, die die Kontrolle u?ber den eigenen Ko?rper und das eigene Haupt in den Vordergrund stellte. Janelle Peters argues Paul's construction of an individual body and communal body in 1 Corinthians serves as an alternative to Roman and Greek models of citizenship. She situates the athletics and veiling of 1 Corinthians within ancient authority and citizenship, which prioritized having control over one's body and head.

    Long description:

    Janelle Peters zeigt, dass Paulus' Konstruktion eines individuellen Ko?rpers und gemeinschaftlichen Leibes im 1. Korintherbrief als Alternative zu ro?mischen und griechischen Modellen der Bu?rgerschaft dient. Sie verortet den sportlichen Wettkampf und die Kopfbedeckung im 1. Korintherbrief innerhalb der antiken Autorita?t und Staatsbu?rgerschaft, die die Kontrolle u?ber den eigenen Ko?rper und das eigene Haupt in den Vordergrund stellte. In this study, Janelle Peters argues Paul's construction of an individual body and communal body in 1 Corinthians serves as an alternative to Roman and Greek models of citizenship. She situates the athletics and veiling of 1 Corinthians within ancient authority and citizenship, which prioritized having control over one's body and head. Contrary to scholarly assumptions that these citizenship indicators would have restricted the previous freedom of all women in order to present conformity with Roman norms, the author contends that the elements of bodily control Paul imposes on the Christian body construct a new citizen body that appeals to Roman and Greek notions of prestige in order to transform the experience of the Christian both in the present world and in the heavenly politeuma. Unlike civic honors within Roman and Greek secular polities, this citizen body is accessible to all, regardless of social status.
