Does the Bible treat men and women differently?  I discovered an
interesting fact this spring about the husband-wife team Aquila and
Pricilla of the Bible.  They seemed to be equally mentioned as "Aquila
and Priscilla" as they are mentioned "Priscilla and Aquila" (They
occur in several places in the New Testament).  I seemed to remember
counting four references each way.
