About EthiopianBibleBooks
EthiopianBibleBooks.com is an independent educational reference about the Ethiopian Bible: which books it contains, where they came from, and how English readers can find and judge them. We write for readers who have heard about the Ethiopian Bible, often through the Book of Enoch, and want accurate answers before they read further or buy anything.
Why this site exists
Much of what is published online about the Ethiopian Bible is either academic and hard to find, or written to sell a particular book. Claims about “88 books,” “the oldest Bible in the world,” or a “complete English translation” are repeated without sources. We publish a clear, cited reference that answers those questions plainly and says where the evidence is uncertain.
Who is responsible for the content
Pages are published under the name of the site, EthiopianBibleBooks, and the editorial team is responsible for every page as a whole. We do not attribute pages to named experts or claim academic or clerical credentials we do not hold. Instead, every factual claim on the site is tied to a source you can check, and our methodology explains how we choose those sources.
If you find an error, you can reach the people responsible directly at partners@ethiopianbiblebooks.com. How we handle corrections is set out in our editorial standards.
Independence
We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or speaking for the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church, any Bible society, or any publisher of the editions we discuss. We describe the church’s canon and traditions as they are published by the church and documented by scholars. We do not teach doctrine; for religious guidance, please consult the church.
How the site is funded
The team behind this site is preparing its own study guide on the Ethiopian Bible, which will be sold on Amazon. Sales of that guide are how we intend to fund the site. We say so wherever the guide is mentioned, and we keep it separate from the reference content. The full details are in our advertising disclosure.
What we cover
- The 81-book canon of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and how it is counted.
- The distinctive books, including 1 Enoch, Jubilees, and Meqabyan.
- The history of the Bible in Ge’ez and Amharic.
- What exists in English, and how to evaluate a printed edition.
The site launched in November 2026 with its main Ethiopian Bible reference. Further guides will be added as they are researched and checked to the same standard.
