The Ethnic-Religious Identity of the Ethiopian in Acts 8:26–40

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In this very careful and detailed study, Jongmun Jung dives into the ethnicity of a somewhat mysterious character, the Ethiopian eunuch of Acts 8. Marshaling important evidence, the author argues convincingly regarding the man’s background but also how his story fits into Luke’s narrative. Even if you don’t agree with Jung’s conclusion—that the eunuch was an African of Jewish descent—his argument will help you understand Acts 8 better in its literary context.”
