English summary: Ancient Ephesus was a metropolis of religion as well as education: the city was famed for its Temple of Artemis, was one of the emperor cult's main centres in the days of the Roman Empire, housed a Jewish community, and became a hub of Early Christianity. The conflict-prone interaction between religion and education shaped the city's history. In thirteen separate but interconnected studies, authors from diverse disciplines examine the numerous facets of Ephesus in this field of tension, focusing on the Imperial Era: from pagan Ephesus to the Jewish and Christian Ephesus, right up to an Islamic perspective of Ephesus. German description: Das antike Ephesos war eine Metropole sowohl der Religion als auch der Bildung: Die Stadt war beruhmt fur ihren Artemistempel, wurde in der romischen Kaiserzeit zu einem Hauptort des Kaiserkultes, war Sitz einer judischen Gemeinde, und gerade die fruhen Christen machten sie zu einem Zentrum. Religion und Bildung sowie ihr konflikttrachtiges Zusammenspiel pragten die Geschichte der Stadt.In 13 untereinander vernetzten Einzelstudien untersuchen Wissenschaftler verschiedener Fachrichtungen zahlreiche Facetten dieser Stadt im Spannungsfeld von Bildung und Religion, mit Schwerpunkt auf der Kaiserzeit: vom paganen Ephesos uber das judische und das christliche Ephesos bis hin zu Ephesos in islamischer Perspektive.
