Summary

In her exploration of the texts about Priscilla and Aquila, Marie Nol Keller asks, What does God want us to learn from their story? The biblical writings show that they worked, lived, and traveled with Paul. As his trusted coworkers, Priscilla and Aquila provided a presence that strengthened the early Jesus groups. Their mutuality in ministry and their leadership as laypeople can inspire members of church communities today to work together as teachers and preachers of the gospel.
