Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you might want to know about the Complete Ethiopian Bible Library — what you receive, how it ships, and why you can order with complete peace of mind.

The Collection

What exactly do I get?

You get the full five-volume printed hardcover set delivered to your door, plus — free with every order — the complete digital library. That means all five volumes as eBooks and professionally narrated audiobooks, alongside our bonus library of 242 Lost & Forbidden Books. The printed set ships to you; the entire digital library unlocks within minutes of ordering.

What are the five volumes?

  • I — The Holy Bible
  • II — The Complete 88-Book Ethiopian Bible
  • III — The Dead Sea Scrolls Bible
  • IV — The Nag Hammadi Scriptures
  • V — The Complete Books of Enoch (with the Book of Giants)

Is this physical, digital, or both?

Both. Every order includes the premium printed set and the complete digital library at no extra cost. Read it on your shelf, on your phone, or listen to it — whichever you prefer.

How is this different from other Ethiopian Bible reprints?

Most are a single cramped paperback. This is a complete, sourced, beautifully matched five-volume hardcover collection — with the digital editions and the full 242-book bonus library included with every set.

The Books and What's Inside

Is this a real and complete Bible?

Yes. Volume I is the complete Holy Bible, and Volume II restores the full 88-book canon preserved by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church — one of the oldest and most complete biblical canons in the world. These are genuine, documented texts from the historical and religious traditions they come from, presented faithfully for reading and study.

Why were some of these books left out of most Bibles?

Many were simply set aside by later church councils as the Western canon was standardized, while the Ethiopian Church faithfully kept them in continuous use for centuries. The Books of Enoch are a good example — quoted by name in the New Testament (Jude 1:14), yet left out of most modern Bibles. This collection brings those preserved texts back together in one place so you can read them yourself.

What is the 88-book Ethiopian canon?

The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church preserves 88 books, including a number of texts set aside by later councils. Volume II presents that full canon in clear, readable modern English.

What are the Dead Sea Scrolls and Nag Hammadi Scriptures?

The Dead Sea Scrolls (Volume III) are among the oldest biblical manuscripts ever found. The Nag Hammadi Scriptures (Volume IV) are early texts sealed in a jar and buried for roughly 1,600 years until their rediscovery in 1945.

What's in the Books of Enoch?

Volume V contains the complete Books of Enoch — the Watchers, the giants, and the secrets of heaven — including the work quoted by name in the New Testament and later left out of most Bibles.

Are the texts in modern, readable English?

Yes — clear, readable modern English throughout, carefully presented so the texts are a pleasure to read and easy to follow.

Authenticity and the Publisher

Who publishes this library?

The collection is produced by Library of Alexandria Press, a publisher dedicated to making historical, religious, and public-domain works beautiful and accessible.

Is this a legitimate, faithful collection?

Yes. These are real, documented works from the historical and religious traditions they come from, presented as works of history and literature for reading and study.

Where do the texts come from?

From the public domain and the long-preserved traditions described above. What we add is careful curation, modern-English presentation, premium typesetting, and beautiful hardcover production.
