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:
The Apocryphal Gospels is a collection of texts and new translations of the gospels that were not included in the New Testament. Bart D. Ehrman and Zlato Plese, leading scholars of early Christianity of the University of North Carolina, have compiled 42 English translations of texts and textual fragments from the original Greek, Latin, and Coptic. For the first time, this book includes non-canonical Gospels from the early centuries of the church in an original-text and facing-page-translation edition. This will be a pivotal source of reference for scholars and graduate students of the New Testament, early church history, antiquity and late antiquity, and ancient Greek, Latin, and Coptic languages.
MoreLong description:
Bart Ehrman-the New York Times bestselling author of Misquoting Jesus and a recognized authority on the early Christian Church-and co-editor Zlatko Plese here offer a groundbreaking, multi-lingual edition of the Apocryphal Gospels, one that breathes new life into the non-canonical texts that were once nearly lost to history.
In The Apocryphal Gospels, Ehrman and Plese present a rare compilation of over 40 ancient gospel texts and textual fragments that do not appear in the New Testament. This essential collection contains Gospels describing Jesus's infancy, ministry, Passion, and resurrection, as well as the most controversial manuscript discoveries of modern times, including the most significant Gospel discovered in the 20th century-the Gospel of Thomas-and the most recently discovered Gospel, the Gospel of Judas Iscariot. For the first time ever, these sacred manuscripts are featured in the original Greek, Latin, and Coptic languages, accompanied by fresh English translations that appear next to the original texts, allowing for easy line by line comparison. Also, each translation begins with a thoughtful examination of key historical, literary, and textual issues that places each Gospel in its proper context. The end result is a resource that enables anyone interested in Christianity or the early Church to understand-better than ever before-the deeper meanings of these apocryphal Gospels.
The Apocryphal Gospels is much more than an annotated guide to the Gospels. Through its authoritative use of both native text and engaging, accurate translations, it provides an unprecedented look at early Christianity and the New Testament. This is an indispensable volume for any reader interested in church history, antiquity, ancient languages, or the Christian faith.
...this well-produced and welcome book will patently be of great value in affording easy access to texts in early Christian languages. Valuable as a reference point for individual apocrypha, the collection will also be, it is hoped, of use in stimulating further study, not just of the texts as such and their wider context, but of the influence of many of them throughout late antiquity and the Middle Ages.
