The Orthodox Church of EthiopiaAn African Christianity\nAuthor(s): John Binns\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, United Kingdom\nImprint: T.& T.Clark Ltd\nISBN-13: 9780567723093, 978-0567723093\nSynopsis\nThis book is a long awaited update to the first major study of a Christian community which has developed an approach to faith and life which is different from all other churches.\n\nSituated on a high plateau surrounded by steep escarpments, Ethiopia has a unique geography which saw the beginnings of the human race. Its culture is nurtured by its links with Europe, the Middle East, sub-Saharan Africa and East Asia. This has contributed to one of the longest archaeological records of any country in the world and the rich life of an ancient church with a remarkable legacy.\n\nThis new edition is updated throughout and it engages more deeply with recent work on the origins of the church and on Christological controversies. It also provides a critical analysis.
