Gods in the Classroom: Religion and Schooling in Ancient Babylonia

Original: Gods in the Classroom: Religion and Education in First Millennium BCE Babylonia

A new academic article published in the journal Iraq examines how religion shaped education in Babylonia during the first millennium BCE. The study explores how divine names, prayers and religious texts featured in scribal schooling, shedding light on how ancient Mesopotamian students learned through material now being revisited by historians of the ancient Near East.

Why now: The peer-reviewed study is newly published and drawing interest from readers of academic and history-focused communities.
