HOLY BOOKS of ETHIOPIAN ORTHODOX TEWAHEDO CHURCH ~ Emahoy HM
- In more modern times, the Ethiopian church experienced a series of developments. The 19th century witnessed the publication of an Amharic translation of the Bible. Largely the work of Abu Rumi over ten years in Cairo, this version, with some changes, held sway until Emperor Haile Selassie ordered a new translation which appeared in 1960/1.

I am asked often about 'what Bible do the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church use and if we read the King James Bible,' and so on. ~ Many people in the West still only imagine Ethiopia as a place with starving children from decades ago, caused by famine due to no rain. They never imagine that there was and is still a very rich ancient Christian culture. ~ When the Protestants from the West go to Ethiopia with their good intentions to 'save those Ethiopians' by taking Christ message to them, they are surprised when they arrive to find that CHRIST has been in Ethiopia from centuries before Europeans knew of him and Ethiopia is one of the oldest CHRISTIAN NATIONS in history, still worshiping ONE G-D and indeed the eYesus Christos, since the time of the Apostles.
The Holy Books and ancient writings preserved in Ethiopian Monasteries are so numerous that even the Church of Rome and other Orthodox Churches has asked The EOTC to allow them copies of them, because their churches has lost many of these original Liturgical Writings.
The isolation of many of Ethiopian Monasteries allowed the early monks to keep many of these writings safely hidden from Arab invaders who pushed into Northen Africa and Later European who tried and failed to colonize the country. ~ Ethiopian leaders and people have over the centuries fiercly defended the CHRISTIAN FAITH and ANCIENT APOSTOLIC ways of worshiping Our Lord.
>
Whenever I hear of a Protestant tell me they are traveling to Ethiopia to help them and teach them about Christ, I always smile and advise them to do research on internet and also read the Bible again and count how many times G-d and the prophets talk about Ethiopia and Ethiopian people, then they can travel and learn about worshiping Christ from the Ethiopians. Help is needed in many areas yes, but teaching Ethiopians how to worship Christ is like taking sand to the beach. ~ Intro by Emahoy Hannah Mariam.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE SACRED SCRIPTURES are the written word of God who is the author of the Old and New Testaments containing nothing but perfect truth in faith and morals. ~ But God’s word is not contained only in them, there is an unwritten word of God also, which we call apostolic tradition. We receive the one and other with equal veneration.

The whole Christendom and whole-learned world owes a debt of gratitude to the church of Ethiopia for the preservation of those documents. Among these books is the book of Enoch which throws so much light on Jewish thought on various points during the centuries immediately preceding the Christian era.
The book of Jubilee (Kufale, i.e. Division) otherwise known as the Little Genesis has also been preserved entire only in the Ethiopic version.
~ The preservation of yet one more book in its entity, namely, the Ascension of Isaiah, is to be remembered to the credit of the Ethiopic Church.
~ May we all be judged worthy to praise His Holy Name forever and ever, world without end. Emahoy Hannah Mariam ~ Please share with your non-Orthodox friends too. They truly don't know our deep roots and many would like to learn. They can buy 'The Orthodox Study Bible' from Amazon.com and it has some more books in it which is left out of KJV Bible but is in Torah (Old Testament) and some which Roman Church have in theirs but more. Still none is as complete as Liturgical Books of EOTC. ~ Many Blessings to you all. Thank-you.

Being one of the earliest Christian churches, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church (EOTC) collection of Scriptures is the largest, though without a clear-cut canon. Following its unique calendar, the EOTC published its first Amharic Bible ever for the Ethiopian millennium celebration in 2007. It was based on the Geʿez and the LXX versions, which resulted in a strong negative reaction from some believers in the Evangelical churches in Ethiopia. After a brief survey of the translation and transmission history of Scriptures in Ethiopia, the article discusses the process of the millennium translation, the reactions against it, and the outcomes of both the translation and its reactions.
