Religious cultures were involved in education in highly different ways in classical antiquity. What were the aims and processes of transmitting education for religious purposes, which parts and methods were considered desirable (or dangerous), and who were the agents in this field? These and related questions are tackled in this interdisciplinary volume focusing on the institutionalization of education and featuring case studies on constellations of education and religion in ancient Greece, late antique Judaism, Christianity, the Latin Middle Ages and classical Islam.
