What might you discover in ancient Christian writings you have never opened?
You hear about Enoch, Jubilees, or Ethiopia's wider biblical tradition, then encounter conflicting lists and sweeping claims. Finding a clear starting point can feel harder than reading the texts themselves.
The Ethiopian Bible Has 22 Books Yours Doesn't guides you through twenty-two studies of texts and traditions, set within the history of how Christian communities received and preserved Scripture. Daniel Gebremariam explains differences in book counting and distinguishes Ethiopian Meqabyan from the Greek Maccabean books.
Imagine approaching an unfamiliar writing with a clearer understanding of its story, setting, and place in Christian history.
Inside the book, you will discover:
- How biblical collections developed across different Christian traditions.
- Introductions to Enoch, Jubilees, Tobit, Judith, and other influential writings.
- The distinctive Ethiopian books of Meqabyan and traditions of church teaching.
- What manuscript discoveries reveal about the survival of ancient texts.
- Themes of angels, repentance, resistance, wisdom, and resurrection.
- A reading guide, glossary, bibliography, and sources for further study.
Five organized parts let you follow the historical story or return to a text that interests you. Explanations of common misconceptions help you compare traditions thoughtfully, even without specialist knowledge.
