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.

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. -- Ephraim Isaac, Ph.D. [Harvard], BD [Harvard Divinity School], director, Institute of Semitic Studies, Princeton, NJ, founder, Department of African and Afro-American Studies at Harvard, hono
