Description
This book is a long awaited update to the first major study of a community which has developed a distinctive approach different from all other churches. Surrounded by steep escarpments to the north, south and east, Ethiopia has always been geographically and culturally set apart. It has the longest archaeological record of any country in the world: indeed, this precipitous mountain land was where the human race began. It is also home to an ancient church with a remarkable legacy.
This new edition is updated throughout and it engages more deeply with important works on Christological controversies, as well as providing a critical analysis of the role of Ethiopian religions played in the recent civil war; that brought substantial changes within the church (2 schisms). These updates also include a new introduction and additions to bibliography, as well as a brand new chapter on the tragic wars and violence since 1974.
