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:
Interweaving art history, patristics, theology, and aesthetics, this original phenomenological study develops a fresh new approach to the icon.
MoreLong description:
How can something finite mediate an infinite God?&&&160;Weaving patristics, theology, art history, aesthetics, and religious practice with the hermeneutic phenomenology of Hans-George Gadamer and Jean-Luc Marion, Stephanie Rumpza proposes a new answer to this paradox by offering a fresh and original approach to the Byzantine icon.&&&160;She demonstrates the power and relevance of the phenomenological method to integrate hermeneutic aesthetics and divine transcendence, notably how the material and visual dimensions of the icon are illuminated by traditional practices of prayer.&&&160;Rumpza's study targets a problem that is a major fault line in the continental philosophy of religion - the integrity of finite beings I relation to a God that transcends them. For philosophers, her book demonstrates the relevance of a cherished religious practice of Eastern Christianity. For art historians, she proposes a novel philosophical paradigm for understanding the icon as it is approached in practice.
'To any reader seriously interested in the crucial issue of the icon, Stephanie Rumpza's work will appear as an invaluable achievement.... No doubt, this work will stand as a landmark in the understanding of the icon.' Jean-Luc Marion, Acad&&&233;mie Fran&&&231;aise
