3 Meqabyan
Comprising 10 chapters, the Third Book of
Ethiopian Maccabees, in Geʽez, explores
salvation, punishment, and faith through
patriarchs like Adam and Job. It examines
the Devil’s role in temptation, including his
refusal to bow to Adam. Likely composed in
the high medieval period (post-14th
century), it offers distinct theological
insights within the Ethiopian tradition.
