| Summary: | "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"-- Religions and education in antiquity: an introduction / Alex Damm -- Wisdom from the wise: pedagogical principles from proverbs / John L. McLaughlin -- Education in the sacrospace of Qumran Judaism / Wayne O. McCready -- Late Second Temple Judaism: a reconstruction and re-description as a religio-cultural system / Jack N. Lightstone -- Techne in Plato and the New Testament / Joseph A. Novak -- Why not to pity Rome: Revelation 18:22-23a in its ancient educational context / Alex Damm -- Those who hear: the power of learners in 1 Timothy / Mona Tokarek LaFosse -- Translation matters: the Coptic translation of Thomas / John Horman -- Pedagogy, text and the solitary self in the Gospel of Thomas / William Arnal -- Praises and rebukes in the gnostic revelation dialogues / Michael Kaler |
