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:
In an age when the Christian Church faces many challenges, this book seeks to identify the resources that the Catholic tradition offers to those who are puzzling over how the Church might be faithful to its tradition, but also creative in response to contemporary questions and concerns.
MoreLong description:
As a consequence of numerous social and theological movements over the last few decades, the Roman Catholic Church finds itself in a situation that some have described as a state of 'peril'. This book traces the emergence of that 'peril', develops a systematic ecclesiology that identifies both the mission and resources of the Church in the present-day, and explores possible responses to some of the specific challenges facing the contemporary Church. The book develops an understanding of the Catholic tradition in order to highlight its potential for development.
Lannan's Risking the Church offers a refreshing look at the church both as "an undreamed of possibility of love" and as the community "where the Spirit flourishes"...Lennan provides an appropriate and dynamic understanding of tradition as well as its proper exercise of authority in the church...This book makes a valuable contribution to how we might think and speak of the church today and how it might appeal to people who do not see any relevance for its existence. It is indeed worth every pound to have this book.
