Bible Note: Greetings EdB! I agree that Scripture doesn't spell out her role in a huge amount of detail. However, my point was that the verse says that 'they explained to him the way of God more adequately'. So, she must have been an active part of the teaching. If only Aquila was doing the 'explaining', Scripture would not have used the word 'they'. :-) One of the interesting tidbits about Priscilla is that she is almost always mentioned first in Scripture. There has been much speculation about why this is so. Some have thought that she may have had the higher social status. But, I have often wondered if she might not have been the most active in 'ministry'. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
