Religions and Education in Antiquity gathers ten essays on teaching and learning in the contexts of ancient Western religions, including Judaism, early Christianity and Gnostic Christian traditions. Beginning with an overview of religious education in the ancient Near Eastern and Mediterranean worlds, editor Alex Damm and the contributors together demonstrate the mutual influence of religion and education on each other; the relevance of educational traditions in addressing (for instance) historical or exegetical issues; and the thoroughgoing importance of education to religious life across time and space in antiquity. Highly useful to scholars of religion, theology, classics and education, this volume affords a state of the art study on pedagogy and learning in ancient religious contexts.

"Scholars of ancient and late antique adult instruction find interesting conversation partners in this stimulating volume."- Monika Amsler, University of Maryland/University of Zürich, Zeitschrift für Religions-Wissenschaft 27.2, 2019."The present collection of essays is a worthwhile contribution toward the future realization of such a comprehensive overview. Further, in accordance with the twofold expertise of its dedicatee Michel Desjardins, the Festschrift not only offers theoretical insights into the history of ancient religious education but also contains practical didactical ideas that can be helpful to teachers as they prepare their classes, lectures, or seminars."- Boris Paschke, Royal Athenaeum Emanuel Hiel, Belgium.
