Why don't you give exact delivery time?

"Was ist die Rolle der Skepsis in der religiösen Umwelt des Mittelmeerraums? Wie wird Zweifel innerhalb einer religiösen Gemeinschaft ausgedrückt? Worin unterscheidet sich der ""Zweifel des Zugehörigen"" von der skeptischen Einstellung des Außenstehenden? Die Beiträge dieses Bandes untersuchen diese Fragen mit Bezug auf breitgefächerte religiöse Sinnzusammenhänge der Antike. What are the roles of doubt and scepticism in the religious landscape of the ancient Mediterranean? How is doubt expressed within a specific religious community, and what reactions does it provoke? How does ""insider doubt"" differ from the sceptical attitude of outsiders? Exploring these questions with respect to a wide range of religious contexts and topics (including early Christianity, Greco-Roman religions, Egyptian religions, astrology, and magic), the essays in this volume confirm the thesis that doubting one's own religious tradition is not simply a ""Western"" post-Enlightenment phenomenon. On the contrary, ancient religions offered opportunities and contexts wherein aspects of doubt are not just tolerated but accepted; moreover, doubt and scepticism concerning certain religious ideas or aspects of belief also motivated creative reinterpretation of those ideas."
