Professor Paulos Milkias, a distinguished scholar of Third World Studies, has compiled a solid, thorough and unique dictionary which encapsulates a whole range of subjects concerning the 1,600-year-old history of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, including the persons who shaped it, its achievements in art, architecture, literature, music, creed, dogma, worship, and doctrine. It gives details of Ethiopian Almanacs, which are based on the Ethiopic-Alexandrian calendar. This fascinating compendium, which is the only one of its kind, will greatly benefit major institutions and theology schools around the world.
