Introduction to the Ethiopian Orthodox: Tewahedo Faith

:)

Nice book. Correct shipment. Love it. Everything went as it was supposed so everything nice. for what regards the topic, the book is a good introduction to Tawahedo curch.

Rare to fond à short and clean explanation. Good job ! Not expensive this book can lead us To know better what is this Church

Note: This is a book about the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo “Faith”, not the rituals and practices of worship within the Church.If you want a basic overview of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Faith, this book will do. It is exactly as the author and the title describe it. From the preface he explains that he hopes to cover practices of worship at a later time. As it is, the book covers basic doctrine like the Trinity, their traditional belief in Mary, a brief overview of the church including the ecumenical councils, the schism between Eastern Orthodox and Catholicism and the Protestant reformation and finally the history of faith in Ethiopia.I’d give it five stars for ease of read and it’s simplicity. However, I think for the potential readers sake, a four is an adequate warning to just how simple it is. I’m a slow reader and I read it in about 2 1/2 hours. I’ve never read a book in one sitting. I’m fairly well acquainted with the Church so I didn’t find out much that I didn’t already know. In fact, come to think of it, the author explained that he wrote it with Tewahedo youth in mind. Therefore, it goes over basic doctrines of faith that most sects consider orthodox and foundational. If you are a believer that is somewhat learned in doctrine, you’ll read page after page about things that you already believe and understand.All that being said, I’m thankful for this short overview.

I found this book a great information source.It needs some proofing. There are some typo mistakes which is disappointing.

Not a strong academic resource, but a useful layman's attempt to introduce his tradition.

It is good nook to introduce Ethiopian Orthodox teachings

The book is short and clear so I might get information about religion

Very well written, concise but contains a lot of good teachings.

Am fascinated by the concisely summarized content of the book

it gives you a terrific insight into the faith

Having been fascinated by the 11 churches of Lalibela in Ethiopia. I decided to use this book as my starting point to learn about the faith. I am glad I did and would recommend it to anyone who is curious about the Tewahedo Faith.mbvirtual.com

I found this book a quick and information read. It gave the foundation of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and this was a great place to start my further exploration into the culture of the Tewahedo culture.

Summarizes by blaming exiled pathriaric by the political leaders and archbishops with luck of any description about the basic reason that leads to divide the church adiministration in to two.
