Oh boy, a new Bible...

Just got my copy of the Ethiopian Bible (the oldest extant Christian Bible and possibly the most true to original sources). much bigger than I thought it would be. I knew it had 88 books, compared to the Catholic's 73 and Protestant's 66, but didn't realize just how big it would be. It's going to take the right mood and some ambition to start reading it, but I'm curious to see how it differs from what we normally think of as "Biblical" here in the West.

Well I hope that, that is true. After the Catholics removed 33 book and then the reformation removed more, you really have to dig deeper to get the full picture. The book of Leviticus would have been good for this day and age because it covers tattoos and men dressing as women, specifically. Ch 19 if memory serves.....

@Steve42 I'm curious from a historical perspective, not from any belief.
