What the Ethiopian Bible Says Happened After Jesus’s Resurrection Is Deeply Strange

There is a passage in the Ethiopian Bible that describes what Jesus did in the forty days after he rose from the dead, and what it says is deeply strange. Strange enough that the Roman church never let it into the version the rest of the world reads. Strange enough that Ethiopian monks have guarded the manuscript inside stone monasteries seven thousand feet above the world for fifteen centuries, refusing to translate it for outsiders. The Western Bible covers those forty days in maybe four scenes. This one covers them in full. And once you hear what is on the page, the resurrection stops sounding the way you were taught.
