Margaret M. Beirne makes an argument for the existence in the gospel of six examples of gender pairs of characters (a widely-accepted Lukan feature). The members of each pair are portrayed in a parallel or contrasting faith encounter with the Johannine Jesus, that is of substantial theological importance to the gospel's stated purpose (John 20:31). Through close examination of these pairs, Beirne offers a reading of the Gospel which gives support to the equal.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Margaret M.
