Score: 5. In this volume, Professor Ullendorff investigates the relationship of Ethiopia to the Bible. He considers the historical background, translations of the Bible into Ethiopian languages, and the impact of the Old Testament, which goes beyond anything experienced in the other Oriental Christian Churches.
The book concludes with an examination of the story of the Queen of Sheba, based on the Biblical account of the queen's visit to King Solomon. It shows how this account has undergone extensive Arabian, Ethiopian, Jewish and other elaborations, to become the subject of one of the most ubiquitous and fertile cycles of legends in the Near East.
This comprehensive volume explores the many ways in which this took place. Essays by a range of African scholars provide access to resources not readily available outside of the African continent. This publication has also been published in paperback, please click here for details. This collection offers cutting-edge scholarship that engages with and pulls from a broad range of fields and points toward the future of Pneumatological hermeneutics.
Responding to recent consensus that gender mainstreaming approaches have failed to produce their intended structural changes, Romina Istratii explains that gender and development analytical and theoretical frameworks are often constructed through western Euro-centric lenses ill-equipped to understand gender-related realities and human behaviour in non-western religious contexts and knowledge systems.
Drawing on a detailed study of conjugal abuse realities and attitudes in two villages and the city of Aksum in Northern Ethiopia, she demonstrates how religious knowledge can be engaged in the design and implementation of remedial interventions.
This book carefully evidences the importance of integrating religious traditions and spirituality in current discussions of sustainable development in Africa, and speaks to researchers and practitioners of gender, religion and development in Africa, scholars of non-western Christianities and Ethiopian studies, and domestic violence researchers and practitioners.
Flint — Part 1 explores the interplay between text-critical methods, the growth and formation of the Hebrew Scriptures, and the making of modern critical editions. Part 2 maps dynamics of scriptural interpretation and reception in ancient Jewish and Christian literatures of the Second Temple period.
You can make a difference! You can also buy books or other items from our online store. We would love to do that. We welcome help from priests or monks on here with all respect and sincerity. We feel that to have such participation would only give this project further legitimacy and that it would be appropriate for the church which safeguarded these scriptures to be involved in the translation of them! We want a literal and accurate translation.
If a verse is felt to need clarification badly or footnotes we can certainly add them however the text itself must remain literal and free of any interpretation or paraphrasing. Someone already did this! There are Ethiopian language bibles sometimes on eBay or sometimes online on book store sites.
Do not be deceived by these misleading titles please. This work has not been done yet unfortunately! While the name may be similar they are entirely different books as anyone who has read them can attest. Can you tell us who will own the copyright to these books and will you make any money from them? At present our staff is made up entirely of unpaid volunteers! We will grant the right to reprint and freely distribute the books provided full credit is given and they are reprinted in full.
What could be fairer? We wish to offer all the books of the EOTC canon not yet translated eventually all for free online provided funds permit.
We hope to fund this entire project through voluntary donations. If you can put up a link on your own web site that will be a great help. If you can find people who can help us with the translating that is even better! This project is dedicated to the memory of all the People of Ethiopia who suffered at the hands of the brutal Communist Derge regime.
May the memory of these martyrs never be forgotten. The Translator may also choose to remain anonymous We will assign books or portions of books to different individuals or accept translations of different books or portions by individuals who working in coordination will facilitate the completion of the entire project as quickly as possible. What are your credentials? How long will this take? What is the role of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church in this project?
Books of the Ethiopian Bible features 20 of these books that are not included in the Protestant Bible. Protestant and Catholic churches recognize 27 New Testament books. Protestants recognize 39 books of the Jewish canon in the Old Testament. Roman Catholics hold 46 books of the Old Testament as canon, along with expanded versions of Esther and Daniel.
In addition to the 73 books of the Catholic Bible, the Orthodox Church adds three more books to their canon.
By far, the largest canon of all is found in the Ethiopic Church, whose Bible totals 81 books. It is, therefore, an extremely important witness to the Bible's early transmission history, yet its testimony has typically been ignored or misunderstood by text critics.
This study examines the history of the book of Acts in Ethiopia and reconstructs its earliest attainable text, which then is assessed using the latest text-critical methods. It therefore provides a solid base for interpreting the data of this key witness and lays the groundwork for future text-critical work in Ethiopic and other early versions.
In doing so, it illuminates the interpretation of the Bible in a particular historical and cultural context and presents a compelling example of the contextual nature of biblical interpretation. Those who visit Ethiopia experience its unique spirituality, which is significantly informed by the presence of the EOTC.
It has also developed and maintained its own ecclesiastic tradition in the Ethiopian context and has its own distinctive way of reading the Bible. It is noteworthy, particularly in the African context, that it has its own commentaries on the Scriptures, which continue to serve as a vital tradition in the EOTC's interpretation of the Bible.
This is evident in the contemporary hermeneutics and sermons of EOTC preachers.
