Rediscover the Lost Bible of Africa
Hidden from the Western canon but deeply embedded in one of the world's oldest Christian traditions, The Ethiopian Bible reveals a sacred library of 88 books-far richer and more expansive than the familiar 66-book Protestant Bible.
This book is your gateway to understanding a version of the Bible preserved in the ancient Ge'ez language, celebrated in Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church liturgy, and filled with unique theological insights, cultural wisdom, and spiritual depth.
For Curious Seekers, Historians, and Spiritual Explorers

What You'll Find Inside
This book is structured to be both informative and accessible. Written in a clear, narrative-driven style, it guides readers through:
- The historical context of Christianity in Ethiopia-from the Axumite Empire to the present.
- The formation of the Ge'ez language and script as a liturgical and literary cornerstone.
- A deep dive into the canon of the Ethiopian Bible, including books like 1 Meqabyan, Enoch, and Jubilees that are absent from other traditions.
- The impact of the Ethiopian Bible on art, identity, architecture, music, and theology.
- The modern revival and global relevance of these ancient texts through translations, digitization, and scholarly attention.
- Comparative insights that show how Ethiopia's scriptural tradition both intersects with and diverges from Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish canons.
With minimal academic jargon and maximum clarity, the tone is reflective, reverent, and designed for a broad audience-rooted in scholarship, yet engaging like a story passed down through generations.
