==Distinctive traits==
===Biblical canon===
The Canon of the Tewahedo Church is looser than for most other traditional Christian groups. The Ethiopian "narrow" Old Testament Canon includes the books found in the Septuagint accepted by the Orthodox plus [[Book of Enoch|Enoch]], [[Book of Jubilees|Jubilees]], [[I Esdras|1 Esdras]] and [[II Esdras|2 Esdras]], 3 books of Maccabees, and [[Psalm]] 151. However, their three books of the Maccabees are identical in title only, and quite different in content from those of the other Christian churches which include them. The order of the other books is somewhat different from other groups', as well. This Church also has a "broader canon" that includes more books.
