Christians from a long time ago weren't reading a Bible containing 66 books... They were reading a much larger library of books.
In the New Testament, Jude specifically cites the Book of Enoch (Jude 1:14). 80 books, not 66, were carried by the original King James in 1611. These texts weren't fringe. For those who founded the early church, they were scripture. The editing then began. Some books were separated from the main text and placed in a section known as the "Apocrypha" during the Protestant Reformation. The British and Foreign Bible Society decided to cease printing them entirely in 1826, which was the true turning point. The Bible was subtly shrunk due to a printing decision, not a conspiracy.
The Aulare Ethiopian Bible is designed to help English-speaking readers explore this historic tradition alongside the Bible they already know.

What readers are saying about the Aulare Ethiopian Bible
This Bible helped me understand how broad the Ethiopian Christian tradition is. I bought it to learn more about the 88 book canon, and it has become a meaningful companion beside the Bible I already use.
I had heard about Enoch for years but never understood where it fit historically. Reading it alongside the additional background gave me a much clearer starting point for further study.
The language feels approachable without making the material feel shallow. I have been reading a little each evening and appreciate being able to slow down and reflect on unfamiliar passages.
I did not purchase this to replace my current Bible. I wanted another source for comparison and historical perspective, and that is exactly how I have enjoyed using it.
The strongest part for me is seeing how another ancient Christian tradition preserved and organized its writings. Some sections take time, but that has made the study more rewarding.
I gave this to a family member who enjoys church history and ancient texts. It opened up several thoughtful conversations, and now I want a copy for my own reading.
The Aulare Ethiopian Bible gave me a reason to look more carefully at the history behind these writings. It is not a quick read, but it has added real depth to my study notes.
This is best approached slowly. I have enjoyed reading a chapter, comparing it with my usual study Bible and then researching the historical setting. It rewards patient reading.
