Preserving the Ancient Faith • Sharing the Sacred Text • Connecting the Global Community
To make the complete Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Bible accessible to all faithful around the world, preserving the ancient Ge'ez texts while providing modern translations for deeper understanding.
Built upon the foundation of the apostles and the teachings of the early Church Fathers, we maintain the unbroken tradition of Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity dating back to the 4th century.
Connecting Ethiopian Orthodox faithful worldwide, from the ancient monasteries of Ethiopia to the growing diaspora communities across the globe.
The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church has the largest biblical canon of any Christian tradition, containing 88 books in total. This unique collection preserves ancient texts that have been cherished for centuries, including the Books of Enoch, Jubilees, and the Maccabees, which provide deep insight into the faith of our forefathers.
This Ge'ez & English translation is known as the King Ezana Version, completed in the 4th century AD. It represents one of the oldest continuous biblical traditions in Christendom.
King Ezana was the first monarch in history to inscribe the cross on his coins, a bold public declaration of his newfound faith. His accomplishments include:
The Tewahedo (meaning "made one") tradition emphasizes the united nature of Christ—fully God and fully man. This theological heritage is reflected in our liturgy, art, and Scripture, preserved through the vision of King Ezana and the faithful scribes who followed.
The treasurer of Queen Candace is baptized by Philip, bringing the Gospel to Ethiopia (Acts 8).
King Ezana declares Christianity the state religion. The Ge'ez translation of the Bible (the "King Ezana Version") is completed.
Nine monks (the "Nine Saints") arrive from Syria, translating many biblical and liturgical texts into Ge'ez and founding monasteries.
Amharic translations become widely available, making Scripture accessible to more believers.
This digital platform brings the complete Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Bible to the world, with Ge'ez, Amharic, and English texts side by side.
