What makes this translation so extraordinary? The passion and care taken by translators Wendy Belcher and Michael Kleiner, evident in every aspect of the volume. --Janet Lee, The Herald An accessible and valuable source to the fields of African history, religious studies, African literature, and gender studies. --David B. Spielman, Ufahamu Presented in an exemplary fashion, and worthy of attention. . . . Belcher and Kleiner have done a great service in making this literature accessible in a responsible and scholarly form. --Andrew Crislip, Biography Magnificent. --Neal W. Sobania, African Studies Review By 2050, Africans will constitute around a third of the world's Christian population, roughly a billion people, and over a hundred million of those will live in Ethiopia. As we confront that new reality, the need to rediscover those African cultural and spiritual roots becomes imperative. The story of Walatta-Petros is a wonderful contribution to this task. --Philip Jenkins, Books & Culture
