The Ethiopian Bible is the oldest and most complete bible on earth.Written in Ge’ez an ancient dead language of Ethiopia it’s nearly 800 years older than the King James Version and contains 81-88 books compared to 66. It includes the Book of ENOCH, Esdras, Buruch and all 3 Books of MACCABEE, and a host of others that were excommunicated from the KJV. This text features 20 books that are not included in the Protestant Bible.
Books can be attributed to "Anonymous" for several reasons:
* They are officially published under that name * They are traditional stories not attributed to a specific author * They are religious texts not generally attributed to a specific author
Books whose authorship is merely uncertain should be attributed to Unknown.
My consciousness is shifting, so I understand that this is an allegory. Understanding that these are stories to instruct people, the Book of Enoch is obviously fascinating. I want to get a copy of this in the Common English Bible version, where I have most of the other apocryphal books. I grew up with the King James, but there are better translations. I hope to find the entire Ethiopian Bible translated from Ge'ez into contemporary English.
