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.

"
In this book, Andrew R. Guffey argues that part of the confusion surrounding the book of Revelation stems from the fact it was first and foremost a work to be ""seen,"" but that few interpreters address the visuality of the book.
Guffey describes a connection between rhetorical discussions of ekphrasis, visual culture, and John's images-a ""concurrence of images""- using theory and thick historical description. His analysis situates the text and its rhetorical performativity in the context of ancient visual and rhetorical culture, arguing that Revelation is not merely a work of literary craft, but also of visual culture.
