They are questions every good Sunday school teacher knows to expect: Why does the New Testament include four gospels, telling the story of Jesus’s life four different ways? What was each author trying to persuade us of and did he succeed?
Those questions are central to the work of Michal Beth Dinkler, Associate Professor of New Testament and ancient Christianity at Yale Divinity School. This summer, Dinkler will be the one tackling those questions when she teaches The Danger of a Single Christian Story as part of the YDS Summer Study program.
“Every retelling of a story is an attempt to persuade in some way,” Dinkler said in a recent interview. “And these four gospels show us the importance of context, for the person who is telling the story and for the people to whom they’re telling it.

The book of Exodus brims with dramatic stories familiar to most of us: the burning bush, Mosesâ ringing proclamation to Pharaoh to âlet my people go,â the parting of the Red Sea. These signs of Godâs liberating agency have sustained oppressed people seeking deliverance over the ages.

It comes from the Lee-Enfield rifle, which in various versions was the British Empire s battle rifle from the 1890s through to the 1950s. Hot stuff, in its place and time.
I own two: a FazerkleyNo. 4 Mk II which from its serial number was an Irish Constabulary rifle, and an Ishapore 2A (in 7.62x51!). Neither get shot enough, as I m mostly a handgun shooter. Cheap surplus .303 British has essentially dried up, which is not surprising since the only rifle that shoots it was last made 50 years ago.
