    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.

    Long description:

    In den letzten Jahrzehnten wurde der Bibelforschung die Bedeutung der Sozialwissenschaften für die eigene Arbeit nach und nach bewusst. Dies führte zu zahlreichen Arbeiten, die ihr Fachwissen aus den Fachgebieten der Gruppenbildungspsychologie, der Soziologie der aufkommenden Bewegungen und der Religionssoziologie sowie der historischen Anthropologie ziehen. Dieser Band enthält die Ergebnisse einer Tagung, die zahlreiche Bibelwissenschaftler, Spezialisten für antike Religionspraktiken und Befürworter eines anthropologischen Zugangs zu antiken christlichen und griechisch-römischen Bräuchen zusammenbrachte. Over the past decades, biblical scholars have gradually become more aware of the importance of the social sciences for their own field. This has produced a steady flow of studies informed by work that was done in the fields of group formation psychology, the sociology of emerging movements and the sociology of religion, and historical anthropology. This volume offers the proceedings of a conference that brought together a number of expert biblical scholars, specialists of ancient religious practices, and proponents of an anthropological approach to ancient Christian and Greco-Roman religious tradition. It was the explicit purpose not to focus exclusively on purely methodological reflections, but to explore and evaluate how methodological concepts and constructs can be developed and then also checked in applying them on specific cases and topics that are typical for understanding earliest Christianity.
