Exploring an 88-Book Biblical Collection

The Ethiopian Orthodox Bible available for free on this website contains 88 books, offering readers access to a broader collection of biblical and ancient religious writings than the 66-book Protestant Bible familiar to many American Christians.

Among these writings are 1 Enoch and Jubilees, two ancient works that are especially valuable for understanding the Jewish world surrounding the Scriptures.

Why the Book of Enoch Matters

The Book of Enoch provides important background concerning angels, judgment, wickedness, righteousness, the coming Kingdom, and the final judgment of evil.

Enoch was widely known in the ancient Jewish world. Portions of the book were discovered among the Dead Sea Scrolls, demonstrating that it circulated during the Second Temple period.

The New Covenant book of Jude also draws from the Enoch tradition, which makes Enoch especially valuable for understanding ideas and language that were familiar to some early Jewish followers of the Messiah.

Why the Book of Jubilees Matters

The Book of Jubilees retells and expands portions of Genesis and Exodus while placing strong emphasis on:

• Covenant
• Sabbath
• Biblical festivals
• Sacred time
• Holiness
• Genealogy
• Israel’s history

Fragments of Jubilees were also discovered among the Dead Sea Scrolls.

For those studying the Hebraic foundations of Scripture, Jubilees offers a valuable look at how some ancient Jewish communities understood Torah, covenant, appointed times, and the history of Israel.

A Broader Look at Biblical History

The Ethiopian Orthodox biblical tradition reminds us that the history of Scripture is broader than the collection of books many of us were first introduced to in Western Christianity.

Books such as Enoch and Jubilees can help illuminate the religious, historical, and cultural world in which many biblical ideas developed.

The purpose of studying these writings is not simply to collect additional books. It is to become a more careful student of Scripture—examining the evidence, understanding the historical setting, and testing what we have been taught.

Read. Study. Compare. Investigate for yourself.
