Ethiopian Bible, Complete Apocrypha (Annotated)

The Ethiopian Bible is a unique religious text that includes books not found in most Western biblical canons. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church maintains one of the largest biblical canons in Christianity, containing 81 books compared to the 66 books in most Protestant Bibles. The Apocrypha refers to texts considered sacred by some denominations but not included in standard biblical canons. This annotated edition with introduction by Dante S. Harvard is particularly valued by religious scholars, theologians, and collectors interested in comparative religious studies. The Lion of Judah symbol on the cover represents Ethiopia's historical connection to King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, reflecting the country's rich religious heritage and its unique Christian traditions that date back to the 4th century.
