Details: This book contains only the Apocrypha of the Ethiopian Bible, those sacred books included in the official canon of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church but omitted from most traditional Western Bibles.

Now, for the first time, this large print English edition brings together these treasured texts in one accessible volume. Within these pages, you will discover: 1, 2, and 3 Meqabyan – Unique to the Ethiopian canon, these are not the same as the Catholic Maccabees, but powerful accounts of spiritual courage and resistance The Book of Enoch – A profound prophetic work referenced in the New Testament The Book of Jubilees – A retelling of Genesis with added angelic insight and divine instruction 1 & 2 Esdras, Tobit, Judith, Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach (Ecclesiasticus), Baruch, and 4 Baruch Additions to Esther, The Letter of Jeremiah, Song of the Three Holy Children, Susanna, Bel and the Dragon The Prayer of Manasseh, Psalm 151 The Ethiopic Didascalia – A set of early Christian teachings found only in this tradition What Makes This Edition Special? ✅ Contains only the Apocryphal books canonized in the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible ✅ Large print format for easy reading ✅ Carefully translated into clear, modern English ✅ An essential resource for Bible scholars, spiritual seekers, and lovers of ancient Christian texts ✅ A unique collection unavailable in traditional Bibles Why These Books Matter The Ethiopian Bible is considered the oldest and most complete Christian Bible, with 81 books in total.
