{"product_id":"beyond-canon-meron-gebreananaye-9780567695857","title":"Beyond Canon: Early Christianity and the Ethiopic Textual Tradition","description":"This book seeks to highlight the significance of a group of five texts excluded from the standard Christian Bible and preserved only in Ge'ez, the classical language of Ethiopia. These texts are crucial for modern scholars due to their significance for a wide range of early readers, as extant fragments of other early translations confirm in most cases; yet they are also noted for their eventual marginalization and abandonment as a more restrictive understanding of the biblical canon prevailed - everywhere except in Ethiopia, with its distinctive Christian tradition in which the concept of a \"closed canon\" is alien.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In focusing upon 1 Enoch, Jubilees, the Ascension of Isaiah, the Epistula Apostolorum, and the Apocalypse of Peter, the contributors to this volume group them together as representatives of a time in early Christian history when sacred texts were not limited by a sharply defined canonical boundary. In doing so, this book also highlights the unique and under-appreciated contribution of the Ethiopic Christian Tradition to the study of early Christianity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Meron Gebreananaye\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0567695859\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780567695857\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/24\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Meron Gebreananaye","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44058708836607,"sku":"9780567695857","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_de519a82-17cf-4bfd-be59-d3778413b5b1.jpg?v=1685054099","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beyond-canon-meron-gebreananaye-9780567695857","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
