Publisher's summary

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 III 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 listeners connect the events and correspondence in different New Testament books. Witherington combines biblical scholarship and winsome storytelling to give listeners a vivid picture of an important New Testament woman.

A Unique Approach

Ben Witherington has taken a whole new direction to his theological works. using theological and historical truth, he has weaved a narrative that allows the listener/reader to gain insight into the life of the early church. Well done!

Bringing to Life the First Century

I so appreciated how the author weaves historical records of daily life in the first century Rome with biblical texts and a message that resonates through the centuries.

Giving Priscilla a voice

This was an interesting and engaging book, taking us into the imagined world of the little known Priscilla of the book of Acts.
While technically an historical novel, this is more a window allowing us to see how the writings and narrative of the New Testament fits into the ancient Graeco-Roman world.
An aged Prisca (Priscilla) dictates her life story to her adopted daughter Julia, all under the ominous shadow of the late days of the emperor Domitian.
The book is a pleasant read in itself, but the story the character tells is engaging and illuminating.
Witherington draws in many details of archaeological and historical evidence, and weaves it into a compelling and human account of the early decades of the Christian church.
While the narration sounds a little tedious at first, it’s well worth persevering, as the book brings together and brings alive the picture of the early church, including gentle incursions into such theological minefields as the personality of Paul and his attitude towards women in ministry.
