Editorial Reviews

Product Description
A "great storehouse of legends and traditions" according to translator E.A. Wallis Budge, 'The Kebra Nagast' most likely dates back to the sixth century AD, and provides an alternative view of many biblical stories.

According to this ancient text, the kings of Ethiopia were descended from Solomon, King of Israel, and the Queen of Sheba; the Ark of the Covenant had been brought from Jerusalem to Aksum by Meyelek, the son of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba; and the God of Israel had transferred his place of abode on earth from Jerusalem to Aksum, the ecclesiastical and political capital of Ethiopia.

5.0 out of 5 stars To Appreciate the Paths to Glory, December 14, 2008
Scholar E.A. Wallis Budge does a masterful job in highlighting the key elements contained in the 177 inspired chapters that explain the origins of the Solomonic line of the Emperors of Ethiopia and then presenting a clear and accurate translation.

Budge has five introductory sections - The Manuscripts of the Kebra Nagast, Translation of the Arabic Version, Legends of the Queen of Sheba in the Kur'an, Modern Legends of Soloman and the Queen of Sheba, Summary of the Contents of the Kebra Nagast - that are indispensable.

The Glory of Kings delves into how the Queen of Sheba met Solomon and how the Ark of the Covenant came to Ethiopia with Menelik I. It also contains an account of the conversion of the Ethiopians to the "Lord God of Israel."

This volume is a wonderful means to fully appreciate an incredible spiritual journey and awakening that continues today.
