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:
"Samuel L. Voo untersucht kombinierte Anspielungen im vierten Evangelium und in der antiken jüdischen Literatur. Er entwickelt eine Methodik, die Erkenntnisse der antiken Medienkultur einbezieht und insbesondere die Rolle der Metonymie in kombinierten Anspielungen untersucht. Samuel L. Voo examines certain types of allusions called ""composite allusions"" in the Fourth Gospel and compares these to those found in other ancient Jewish literature. The author employs methods from three different perspectives: a literary perspective, an ancient Jewish perspective, and the perspective of ancient orality."

Samuel L. Voo untersucht kombinierte Anspielungen im vierten Evangelium und in der antiken jüdischen Literatur. Er entwickelt eine Methodik, die Erkenntnisse der antiken Medienkultur einbezieht und insbesondere die Rolle der Metonymie in kombinierten Anspielungen untersucht. Samuel L. Voo examines composite allusions to the Jewish scriptures in the Gospel of John and compares these to similar phenomena in late Second Temple Jewish literature. Composite allusions are defined in this study as allusions clustered together in a single literary unit that are best interpreted together. To analyze such allusions, the author develops a three-fold method integrating literary analysis, Jewish catchword exegesis, and insights from studies in ancient media culture. He examines six passages from Jewish literature (from the Hodayot, the Damascus Document, and the LXX), and four passages in the Fourth Gospel (12:37¬-40; 1:29; 7:37-39; 15:1-11). The author argues that the composite features across all of these passages function on the basis of common lexemes, common themes, and orally-derived metonymy.
