There is a Bible most of the world has never read.It has been chanted in mountain monasteries for sixteen hundred years. Carried beneath silk canopies by white-robed priests. Written in a language older than Arabic. Guarded beside an Ark that the rest of the world says is lost.It is the Ethiopian Bible — and it is the most complete Christian Bible on earth.While the Protestant Bible contains 66 books, and the Catholic Bible 73, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church has faithfully preserved a sacred canon of 81 books — the broadest, most ancient, and most complete collection of divine scripture still held in active, living worship anywhere on earth today.
