Miaphysite Christology: An Ethiopian Perspective
AuthorMebratu Kiros Gebru
Published2010
FormatBook

TL;DR — A short scholarly book explaining the Ethiopian Orthodox teaching on the one united nature of Christ, its history in Ethiopia and its key Ge’ez terms.

Published by Gorgias Press (ISBN 978-1-60724-528-5; the file is dated 2010). Gebru first traces the history of non-Chalcedonian Christology in Ethiopia, including the debates with Portuguese missionaries and the internal Unction (Qibat) and Grace / “Three Births” sects, and then sets out the doctrine of the Incarnation in the Ethiopian tradition.

A central section explains the Ethiopian terms for nature or essence (baharey) and person (akal) against their Greek equivalents, as a way into the miaphysite claim that Christ has one united nature.

What it is: a scholarly monograph from a specialist academic press, in copyright. The PDF appears to be a publisher’s copy-edit file.
