Deepened my Faith Ten Fold!
I bought this edition because I wanted to explore the Ethiopian Orthodox canon and learn more about the books that aren't included in most modern Bibles. The quality exceeded my expectations. The hardcover feels premium, the text is easy to read, and the additional books have given me a fresh perspective during my personal study. It's a beautiful addition to my library, and I'd happily recommend it to anyone interested in biblical history or expanding their understanding of Scripture.
What Happens When You Finally Read the Complete Bible
Why Do Most Bibles Have 66 Books? (Including Yours)
The earliest generations of Christians encountered a wider collection of sacred writings than the 66-book canon found in many modern Protestant Bibles. Across history, different Christian traditions preserved different biblical canons, each shaped by centuries of faith and tradition.
The New Testament itself references writings beyond the standard Protestant canon. For example, the Epistle of Jude includes a quotation attributed to the Book of Enoch (Jude 1:14–15), showing that these writings were known within the early Christian world.
The 1611 King James Bible originally included the Apocrypha, bringing its total to 80 books, although these books were presented in a separate section rather than integrated into the Old Testament.
During the centuries that followed, many Protestant publishers gradually stopped including the Apocrypha in printed Bibles. One notable milestone came in 1826, when the British and Foreign Bible Society decided it would no longer fund editions containing the Apocrypha, contributing to the widespread adoption of the 66-book Protestant Bible familiar today.
Meanwhile, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church continued preserving its historic 88-book canon, maintaining one of Christianity's oldest continuously used biblical traditions.
Then the Dead Sea Scrolls Changed the Conversation.
In 1947, a shepherd discovered ancient clay jars hidden inside caves near the Dead Sea. Within them were the Dead Sea Scrolls—some of the oldest surviving biblical manuscripts ever uncovered, dating back nearly 2,000 years.
Among these discoveries were texts found in the Ethiopian Orthodox canon and writings long absent from many modern Western Bibles.
Their discovery showed these weren't late additions or medieval inventions. They were ancient writings that had existed for centuries alongside other biblical texts, preserved long before the modern Bible took shape.
The Ethiopian Orthodox Church continued preserving this broader canon throughout its history.
Open the Ethiopian Bible today, and you're exploring one of Christianity's oldest continuously preserved biblical traditions, supported by some of the earliest manuscript evidence ever discovered.

The Ethiopian Orthodox canon contains the books of the traditional Bible along with additional writings that have been preserved within the Ethiopian Orthodox Church for centuries.
The familiar books from Genesis through Revelation remain present. Alongside them are additional books such as Enoch, Jubilees, Meqabyan, Esdras, and others that are part of the Ethiopian Orthodox biblical tradition.
Many readers appreciate these writings because they provide additional historical context and insight into themes found throughout Scripture.
