The work brings together all the major sources from manuscripts preserved in different monasteries and edited and translated into English.

Poetic hymns to the Cross constitute a part of the collection, one of these being glorification of the Cross by.

He has published several monographs, translations and many articles on Ethiopic (Gz) and Amharic grammar and literature.

We should be grateful to the author for this impressive source book, which gives insight into a great number of Ethiopian beliefs and devotions related to the cross.

The author shows his unique skills in conveying so much of his personal engagement with the texts to a wider readership, thus making the texts available for future scholarship.

In addition to giving students and scholars a wealth of new texts, this volume also stands out as an open invitation and as a strong encouragement for further study and exploration of the religious literature and traditions of Ethiopian Christians..

In the international Bible studies there are certain books belonging to the class usually designated pseudepigraphic.

According to the 1994 census Amharic is the most commonly spoken language in Ethiopia.

Amharic is also spoken by 40,000 people in Israel as well as.

I am asked often about what Bible do the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church use and if we read the King James Bible, and so on.

Many people in the West still only imagine Ethiopia as a place with starving children from decades ago, caused by famine due to no rain.

They never imagine that there was and is still a very rich ancient Christian culture.

When the Protestants from the West go to Ethiopia with their good intentions to save those Ethiopians by taking Christ message to them, they are surprised when they arrive to find that CHRIST has been in Ethiopia from centuries before Europeans knew of him and Ethiopia is one of the oldest CHRISTIAN NATIONS in history, still worshiping ONE G-D and indeed the eYesus Christos, since the time of the Apostles.

The Holy Books and ancient writings preserved in Ethiopian Monasteries are so numerous that even the Church of Rome and other Orthodox Churches has asked The EOTC to allow them copies of them, because their churches has lost many of these original Liturgical Writings.

The isolation of many of Ethiopian Monasteries allowed the early monks to keep many of these writings safely hidden from Arab invaders who pushed into Northen Africa and Later European who tried and failed to colonize the country.

Ethiopian leaders and people have over the centuries fiercly defended the CHRISTIAN FAITH and ANCIENT APOSTOLIC ways of worshiping Our Lord.

Whenever I hear of a Protestant tell me they are traveling to Ethiopia to help them and teach them about Christ, I always smile and advise them to do research on internet and also read the Bible again and count how many times G-d and the prophets talk about Ethiopia and Ethiopian people, then they can travel and learn about worshiping Christ from the Ethiopians.
