Eastern Christian Theology – Tewahedo Orthodox
Eastern Christian Theology has developed within different communities. In the Tewahedo Orthodox community it developed in close proximity with Juadism and Ge’ez was one of first seven languages the Bible was translated in, but as an institution it developed from the dependency of the Coptic Church until the twentieth century when it gained its autocephaly. This course will introduce one of the ancient traditions and yet unknown for many.
