The Ethiopian Bible
A Living History — The Ethiopian Canon-Complete
The Ethiopian Bible is among the oldest in the world, preserved since the 4th century by the Church of Aksum. While many Western traditions removed sacred books, the Ethiopian Church kept them — guided by prayer, not politics. This canon includes all Western books, plus sacred texts like 1 Enoch, Jubilees, and the Books of Meqabyan — rich in African wisdom and spiritual depth. These writings speak with an African voice — rooted in the land, memory, and faith. This is not something new. It is something remembered. Something yours.
An ongoing project of mine is finding Public Domain translations of books included in the Ethiopian Canon, reducing/converting them to an editable/usable form, adding my own annotations and commentary, and finally generating products to be enjoyed by a contemporary audience.
Individual projects are linked below. These are at varying stages, but not yet of a 'public release' quality.
