Das antike Ephesos war eine Metropole sowohl der Religion als auch der Bildung: Die Stadt war berühmt für ihren Artemistempel, wurde in der römischen Kaiserzeit zu einem Hauptort des Kaiserkultes, war Sitz einer jüdischen Gemeinde, und gerade die frühen Christen machten sie zu einem Zentrum. Zugleich beherbergte Ephesos zahlreiche Gymnasien, ein Museion sowie die berühmte Celsusbibliothek, und sowohl Paulus- als auch Johannes-,Schule' werden gerne dort lokalisiert. Religion und Bildung sowie ihr konfliktträchtiges Zusammenspiel prägten die Geschichte der Stadt.In 13 untereinander vernetzten Einzelstudien untersuchen Wissenschaftler verschiedener Fachrichtungen (Archäologie, Religionswissenschaft, Alte Geschichte, Medizingeschichte, Judaistik, Neues Testament, Kirchengeschichte, Islamwissenschaft) zahlreiche Facetten dieser Stadt im Spannungsfeld von Bildung und Religion, mit Schwerpunkt auf der Kaiserzeit: vom paganen Ephesos über das jüdische und das christliche Ephesos bis hin zu Ephesos in islamischer Perspektive.
