As Ethiopia celebrated its 2,000 years of Christianity and heralded the third millennium starting on September 14, 2007, Paulos Milkias’ Dictionary of Ethiopian Christianity has emerged as an authoritative, comprehensive, and most current resource of Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo faith. It provides up-to-date information on the Ethiopian church’s history and heritage. The definitions in the dictionary are deliberately condensed, tight, and linked to lexically-valid headwords related to the Ethiopian experience. The reference text printed in Latin script astride equivalents in Ethiopic Syllabary has over 5,500 entries and several appendices including 70 Biblical quotations regarding Ethiopia.
