Who was Priscilla?

Readers of the Bible may know her as the wife of Aquila, Paul's coworker, or someone who explained baptism to Apollos. Biblical references to Priscilla spark questions: Why is she mentioned before her husband? Does the mention of her instruction of Apollos mean that women taught in the church? What is her story?

Ben Witherington addresses these questions and more. In this work of historical fiction, Priscilla looks back on her long life and remembers the ways she has participated in the early church. Her journey has taken her to Ephesus, Corinth, and Rome, and she's partnered with Paul and others along the way.

Priscilla's story makes the first-century world come alive and helps readers connect the events and correspondence in different New Testament books. Witherington combines biblical scholarship and winsome storytelling to give readers a vivid picture of an important New Testament woman.

Industry Reviews

"The book is an imaginative but historically sensitive sketch of the life of a significant early Christian female leader, Priscilla. Priscilla's life, however, is more than a life-it is a clear window through which Ben Witherington offers nothing less than a sketch of first-century Christianity's expansion throughout the Roman Empire-all the way to Rome. The eighty-year-old Priscilla, in a voice speaking to her adopted daughter Julia, reminisces and explores the contexts for the New Testament itself, thus Priscilla functions as an innovative approach to New Testament introduction, and photos give the book a deeper appeal."
