Read this cover to cover in three weeks. I'd heard about the missing books my whole life and always assumed they were lost forever. Finding out Ethiopia kept all of them the entire time was honestly stunning.
The canon, kept where it could never be edited.
Ethiopia adopted Christianity in the 4th century — before Rome, before Constantinople, before the councils that would eventually decide which books were 'in' and which weren't.
While Western churches voted books out of the canon in 363 and 397 AD, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church kept all eighty-eight. Locked in monasteries carved into volcanic rock. Untouched by colonisation. Preserved word-for-word for sixteen hundred years.
CovenantBooks brings that complete canon — translated into English for the first time at this scale — to readers who refuse to settle for sixty-six.
