Everyone Thinks the Ethiopian Bible Has Every Book. They’re Wrong.

Everyone thinks they know what’s in the Bible. But what if I told you the Bible isn’t a book—it’s a library, and no one on earth has the whole collection?

In this episode, we crack open a centuries-old assumption: that the Ethiopian Bible is the most complete version of Scripture. The truth? It is one of the most expansive canons—but even it’s missing books the original 1611 King James Bible had. And the King James? It included more than modern Bibles—until someone else made them disappear.

This isn’t just about what’s in or out—it’s about who decided, why, and what it reveals about the hidden story of the Bible.

Join me as we follow the paper trail—from ancient councils to Protestant printers to Ethiopian scribes—and uncover how faith, politics, and translation shaped the Bibles we hold today.

If you think the Bible is a closed book… this will change everything.
