    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:

    This collection of essays, published on the occasion of Gerard Luttikhuizen?s retirement, highlights the Egyptian subject-matter, background or provenance of many Jewish, Early Christian, and Gnostic texts. It covers a broad spectrum of themes, genres, and traditions. It shows that Egypt was a vibrant point of reference, sometimes even a focal point and cradle for Jews, Christians, and Gnostics and their thought. The first part of this book examines various aspects of the relation between Judaism and Egypt, mainly in the Graeco-Roman period. The second part deals with several connections between early Christianity and Egypt, whereas the third part considers Egypt as the place where many Gnostic texts were found. This collection pays homage to Gerard Luttikhuizen?s life-long interest in Egypt and Gnosticism.

    'Mit Sicherheit ist es den Herausgebern gelungen, dem Geehrten mit diesem überaus reichen Sammelband einen bunten Strauß zu überreichen, der seinem vielfältigen, anhand einer umfangreichen Bibliographie am Ende des Buchs nachvollziehbaren wissenschaftlichen Wirken, das immer auch der faszinierenden Vielfalt des frühen Christentums in Auseinandersetzung mit seiner Umwelt galt (und von dem man auch in Zukunft noch viele weitere, reiche Früchte erhofft), gerecht werden kann.'
