    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:

    Der vorliegende Band bietet Einblicke in die derzeit wieder populären Ansätze der angesehenen Religionsgeschichtlichen Schule zum Neuen Testament und der frühchristlichen Literatur. Sie entstand etwa im Jahre 1884 an der Universität Göttingen und wurde von Wissenschaftlern wie Albert Eichhorn, Wilhelm Bousset, Johannes Weiß und William Wrede vorangetrieben; die heutige Verwendung dieses Ansatzes ist vielfältig. Es ist unbestritten, dass die Universität von Chicago seit langem das Zentrum dieses Forschungsansatzes in Nordamerika ist. Im Laufe des letzten Jahrhunderts haben eine Vielzahl von Studien aus Chicago durch dieses Verfahren bahnbrechende Ergebnisse erzielt. In dieser Sammlung von Aufsätzen wenden Mitglieder der Chicagoer Schule den Ansatz auf verschiedene Themen an, um seinen bis heute fortdauernden Wert zu demonstrieren. The present volume offers a glimpse at one currently thriving expression of the distinguished history of religions school approach to the New Testament and early Christian literature. Begun circa 1884 at the University of Göttingen and pioneered by scholars such as Albert Eichhorn, Wilhelm Bousset, Johannes Weiss, and William Wrede, today applications of this approach are diverse. Scholars adapt the method, incorporating the latest technologies and insights, to optimize the school's original goal of accurate biblical interpretation. In North America, the University of Chicago has long been a hub of this type of investigation. Over the last century, many of these Chicago studies have produced groundbreaking results. Still, the approach has never been without its critics. Applying the history of religions school approach to a range of interesting topics and themes, the essays in this collection demonstrate against current opposition how the history of religions school continues to steer scholarly innovation in the field of New Testament studies by offering constructive new interpretations of early Christian and other writings and advancing discussion in key areas of research.
