Teachers and Texts in the Ancient World Philosophers, Jews and Christians [Paperback]

Teachers and Texts in the Ancient Worldpresents a comprehensive and accessible survey of religious and philosophical teaching and classroom practices in the ancient world. H. Gregory Snyder synthesizes a wide range of ancient evidence and modern scholarship to address such questions as how the literary practices of Jews and Christians compared to the literary practices of the philosophical schools and whether Christians were particularly noteworthy for their attatchment to scripture.
Teachers and Texts in the Ancient Worldwill be of interest to students of classics, ancient history, the early Christian world and Jewish studies.
