What if the Bible you grew up with was missing entire books?
For over fifteen centuries, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church has preserved the oldest and most complete biblical canon on earth — 88 sacred books, while most Western Bibles carry only 66 or 73. Now the full canon is presented in clear English and brought vividly to life by all 241 of Gustave Doré's celebrated wood engravings — the most renowned biblical artwork ever created — with one placed at the very scene it depicts throughout the volume.
THE COMPLETE ILLUSTRATED EDITION
This is not a new translation but a faithful presentation of trusted public-domain English scripture, paired throughout with the legendary wood engravings of Gustave Doré — the same artwork that has illustrated the world's great Bibles for over 150 years. Every major narrative, from the Creation of Light to the Revelation, is illustrated at the very scene it depicts.
