Dr Gregory E. Sterling has served as The Reverend Henry L. Slack Dean and Lillian Claus Professor of New Testament at Yale Divinity School since 2012.
Sterling has been a leading theological and moral voice for addressing inequality and injustice in society, and he has led efforts to create the Living Village for student housing, a visionary project now under construction that is designed to be the education sector’s largest living-building residential complex and a model for the nation and the world.
In his teaching and research, Sterling focuses on Hellenistic Judaism and has published over 100 scholarly papers on, among other subjects, Philo of Alexandria, Josephus, and Luke–Acts.
