2 for$183.51The Complete Ethiopian Bible in English (Illustrated) is published by Solomon’s Gate Press. It prints the 88 books of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo canon in one English volume, with full-page illustrations.
Most Western Bibles hold 66 or 73 books, so it makes sense to take a proper look before you order. Here are six reasons readers explore this edition. Each one is shown with photos of the printed book, and you can order the hardcover after reasons two, four and six.
What is inside
It follows the canon of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, so it prints books many Western Bibles leave out, in canon order:
Look before you order
These are photos of printed copies, not mockups: two-column text with chapter and verse numbers, footnotes that explain word choices, and full-page Gustave Doré illustrations facing the passages they show.
The hardcover
The edition to keep on a desk and come back to: gold gilded page edges, a matte cover, a decorated spine and premium paper designed to minimize bleed-through, in standard-size biblical print.
Prefer larger type? The 17-point extra-large-print edition is a separate book, sold on its own.
For study
An introduction and conclusion by Rev. Dr. Rance Settle (MDiv, DMin) frame the tradition, and book summaries with chapter references, footnotes, cross-references and a glossary give you context to read at your own pace.
Included with your copy
A Bonus Guide page in the book holds a QR code and a web address. Scan it to open 100+ hours of audio narration, 150+ hours of video teachings and a digital library of 1,700+ texts.
Good to know: the cover’s “with audiobook & video lesson” seal refers to these QR files. The separate audiobook and ebook are paid products, not part of this order.
Order direct
Your copy comes straight from Solomon’s Gate Press, with working QR access to the bonus content and a support team for orders and access. Look for the matte cover, the decorated spine and the Bonus Guide page with its QR code.
