Abstract
The encounter between Philip the deacon/evangelist and the Nubian official in Acts 8 has
garnered much scholarly attention in recent decades. Numerous articles and monographs have
explored issues of gender, race, and ethnicity in this pericope. This study takes a different tack
by focusing on several textual issues as well as exploring unique narratival features adopted by
Luke.
