Ethiopian Bible in English: The Complete 88-Book Collection

Ethiopian Bible in English: The Complete 88-Book Collection presents an exploration of one of Christianity's oldest and most distinctive biblical traditions: the sacred scriptures preserved by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.
For centuries, Ethiopia has maintained a rich Christian heritage, preserving ancient biblical writings, religious teachings, and spiritual traditions that offer a unique perspective on the history of Christianity.
Unlike the commonly used 66-book Protestant Bible, the Ethiopian Orthodox biblical tradition recognizes a broader collection of sacred writings, traditionally associated with an 81-book canon and sometimes described through an 88-book enumeration.
This book is presented as an English-language collection intended to introduce readers to the spiritual and historical richness of Ethiopian Christianity.
What Makes This Book Special?
The Ethiopian biblical tradition is particularly fascinating because it preserves writings that are not included in many Western biblical collections.
Among its best-known ancient texts are:
The Book of Enoch: Ancient writings exploring heavenly visions, angels, divine judgment, and the mysteries of creation.
The Book of Jubilees: A retelling of early biblical history, including creation, the patriarchs, and God's covenant with humanity.
The Books of Meqabyan: Distinctive Ethiopian biblical writings that differ from the Maccabean books found in other Christian traditions.
The Old Testament Scriptures: Sacred writings concerning creation, prophecy, wisdom, law, and the history of God's people.
The New Testament Scriptures: The Gospels, apostolic teachings, and writings centered on the life and message of Jesus Christ.
