The Ethiopian Bible Project was born from a deeply rooted desire to bring together all the sacred books of the Ethiopian Bible into one unified volume—a dream that has been on my heart for many years. This vision is not merely about compiling ancient texts but also about preserving a unique biblical tradition for future generations.
With this project, we hope to bridge cultural and linguistic divides by making these revered texts available in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese, sharing the profound teachings of the Ethiopian biblical heritage with a global audience.
The Ethiopian Bible holds a unique place in the Christian tradition, containing books and perspectives not commonly found in Western biblical canons. Each text offers insights that reflect the rich heritage of Ethiopian spirituality, history, and devotion. By translating these books, we aim to honor the voices and wisdom of Ethiopian Christianity, giving believers and scholars worldwide the opportunity to engage with these scriptures in their fullness.
As part of this endeavor, we have published The Complete Ethiopian Bible in English, which contains all the books of the Ethiopian Bible that have been translated into the English language so far. While this book does not yet include all the books of the Ethiopian Bible—since some have not been translated into English—we felt it was important to publish this volume now. By doing so, we hope to raise much-needed funds to continue our work, translating and making these sacred texts available to all.
Your support in acquiring this book not only helps preserve this rich spiritual tradition but also fuels our ongoing mission to complete the translations and bring the full collection to light.
This undertaking is undoubtedly ambitious—a Herculean task requiring dedication, faith, and perseverance. Yet, like Paul the Apostle, we are strengthened in our mission by our belief that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us (Philippians 4:13). We firmly believe that, with the grace of God and the support of individuals who share our vision, the Ethiopian Bible Project will be a transformative resource, deepening the understanding and appreciation of the Ethiopian biblical tradition.
Whether you are a curious seeker, a devoted believer, or a passionate scholar, we invite you to join us on this journey of discovery and devotion.
