Eunuchs: A Bible Study

This book is for those who serve God on their own, without a spouse or partner. Whether you are widowed, divorced or have chosen a path of singleness, you hold a valuable place in God's service. Within this book you'll find God's promises and inspiring examples of others who have walked this journey alone. Eunuchs are not insignificant in the biblical narrative. In fact, the Old Testament mentions castrated officers/servants 42 times, names 15 eunuchs directly, and includes many who could be defined as eunuchs. These figures aren't just passive background characters, either-some are involved in critical moments. Eunuchs threw Jezebel to her death and saved Jeremiah from peril. Hezekiah receives a prophecy foretelling that some of his descendants would become eunuchs in Babylon. Why wouldn't we want to know these individuals? God reaches out to eunuchs with a promise by Isaiah and sends Phillip to teach a eunuch about Christ. Jesus acknowledges three kinds of eunuchs, leaving us to wonder: Who are these individuals He describes? And what about today-could any of us know a "eunuch" in the way Jesus defines it? Though eunuchs might not top the list of typical Bible study topics, their significance in Scripture suggests there's something meaningful here. So why not take a closer look at what the Bible says about eunuchs? This unique exploration might just open our eyes to profound lessons hidden in plain sight.
