Synopsis
Many editions claim to present the Ethiopian Bible in a single compact volume. In reality, large portions of the canon are often removed, condensed, or silently omitted.
This edition does neither.
Presented as a complete three-volume edition, it preserves the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo canon in full, printed in true Large Print and Big Text for sustained reading with clarity and dignity.
Each book is presented in
full English translation, supported by structured introductory studies, historical context, literary outlines, and clearly defined translation notes.
Many of these writings are unfamiliar to modern readers. Without guidance, their structure, terminology, and
theological framework can be difficult to follow. This edition provides the tools necessary to understand them through
contextual introductions, defined terminology, and transparent annotations, while
preserving the integrity of the text.
Nothing is abridged.Nothing is compressed.Nothing is forced into another tradition’s framework.Unlike Western Bibles containing 66 or 73 books, the Ethiopian canon preserves a broader and historically layered scriptural tradition recognized for centuries within the Tewahedo Church.
This volume opens the covenant foundation and the early canonical materials that shape that tradition.Volume 1 includes:
Genesis
Exodus
Leviticus
Numbers
Deuteronomy
1-2 Joshua
1-3 Enoch
and many other ancient canonical texts within the Ethiopian canon
If you are seeking a complete, structured, and fully annotated large-print presentation of the Ethiopian canon, this volume is the natural starting point.
