Christianity’s oldest and largest Bible —finally accessible.

While Western churches capped the canon at 66 or 73 books, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church preserved 81. Among those "extra" books are hidden some of the most powerful, visionary, and mysterious pages in the entire biblical tradition—texts that shaped Second Temple Judaism, influenced the New Testament, and continue to puzzle believers and scholars.

This volume brings them together for the first time in a single organic collection.

What you will find in this book:

The Book of Jubilees ( Kufale ) — Translation of the 50 chapters. A rewriting of Genesis and Exodus as narrated by the angel of the presence to Moses on Sinai: sacred history reorganized according to cycles of jubilees, with revelations on the calendar, rituals, and laws that illuminate the roots of early Christianity.

The Book of Enoch (1 Enoch) — Complete, unabridged translation of the entire book. The fall of the rebel angels, the Nephilim , the celestial journeys, the mysterious figure of the pre-existent "Son of Man": the monument of apocalyptic literature that the Letter of Jude cites as prophecy.

The Remainder of Baruch's Words (4 Baruch) — Full Translation. The fall of Jerusalem, Abimelech 's 66-year supernatural sleep , the miraculously fresh figs: a brief and unforgettable tale of God's faithfulness throughout time.

The Apocalyptic Ezra (4 Ezra) — Full translation. The intense dialogue between the prophet Ezra and the angel Uriel on divine justice, the problem of evil, the destiny of the soul, and the end times. A strikingly modern pinnacle of apocalyptic thought.

The Three Books of the Meqabyan — Analytical Summary by Chapter. Present exclusively in the Ethiopian canon and virtually unknown in the West, they narrate the struggle against idolatry, martyrdom, the resurrection of the dead, and the cosmic confrontation between God and the Devil.

The Josippon — Presentation of the medieval historical work that the Ethiopian tradition has included in its canon: from the end of the Babylonian exile to the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD

An Appendix on cross-cutting theological themes: resurrection, judgment, Nephilim, idolatry, and the role of the Devil throughout the texts.

The volume is completed by a bonus appendix: The Book of the Angel Raziel, one of the oldest and most fascinating mystical texts in Jewish tradition. According to legend, it was given by the angel Raziel to Adam after his expulsion from the Garden of Eden, engraved on sapphire pages and enveloped in celestial fire.

You will find: The powerful prayer of invocation passed down from Adam, and the description of the seven firmaments and their angelic guardians.

Who it's for: The believer who wants to discover a broader biblical tradition. The student of the history of religions. Anyone who has heard about the "forbidden books" of the Bible and wants to finally read them. Anyone who loves great ancient literature.

Not an academic edition, but direct, readable, and complete access to scriptures that for too long have been confined to specialized editions in other languages. After this reading, the Bible will never look the same again.
