Ethiopian Bible: Full Canon and Heritage
- For the believer who has heard of Enoch but never read it
- Read the books most Bibles leave out, like Enoch and Jubilees
- Kept and read by Ethiopian Christians for centuries
Is this edition right for me?
This edition suits you if you have heard books like Enoch or Jubilees mentioned and want to read them yourself.
You can keep the Bible you read now and open this one beside it to compare passages.
Why do some editions say 81 books and others 88?
The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church publishes a list of 81 books. Some sellers count 88 because they group or split certain books another way.
A number on a cover tells you little. Check the titles a book contains.
