The Complete Ethiopian Bible in English – 88 Books with Apocrypha, Book of Enoch, Jubilees & Other Rare Texts | New Translation with Critical Commentary, 534-Page Paperback

The full canon of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church in English — all 88 books, in a single 534-page paperback with scholarly commentary alongside the text.

The Ethiopian canon is the broadest in Christianity. Where a Protestant Bible prints 66 books and a Catholic Bible 73, the Tewahedo tradition preserved 88, including works that circulated widely in the early church and were later dropped from Western Bibles: the Book of Enoch, Jubilees, 1 and 2 Ezra, the Meqabyan, and the wider Apocrypha. Enoch and Jubilees are the reason most readers come looking — Enoch is quoted directly in the New Testament letter of Jude, yet appears in no standard Western edition.

What makes this edition different

This is a translation paired with critical commentary rather than a bare text. Editorial notes explain where a passage sits in the Ge'ez manuscript tradition, why a book was excluded from Western canons, and how a given reading compares with the more familiar versions. That makes it usable for study, not only for devotional reading.

Who it is for

• Readers exploring the Orthodox Tewahedo tradition and Ethiopian church history
• Students of comparative theology and early Christianity working from primary sources
• Anyone who has read about Enoch, Jubilees or the Watchers and wants the actual text rather than a summary
• Gift buyers looking for a substantial single-volume edition
