Description

This book explores the rich interplay between the traditions of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and biblical exegesis, focusing on 1 Corinthians 11:17-29. It explores the church's unique approach to the Eucharist, examining how its practices and interpretations are influenced by Jewish sacrificial laws and the writings of the early church Fathers. Author Tibebu Teklu Senbetu employs a comprehensive methodology, analyzing North American and European scholarly perspectives alongside Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church interpretations to reveal the distinctive features and challenges of its Eucharistic practice. Through a detailed study of the Andemta Commentary and Amharic Bible translations, this book offers fresh insights into the historical and theological context of worthy participation in the Eucharist within an Ethiopian context.
Fostering a respectful dialog, Dr. Senbetu explores 1 Corinthians 11 in the Ethiopian liturgy, examining the church's Jewish roots and its sacrificial character.
