Faith is the means by which we understand "the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible" (Heb 1:2-3)

The aim of this study is to describe the traditional Biblical and patristic Amharic commentary material of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, and to present in translation a sufficient sample of the Amharic, and also the Geez, commentary material, that its character can be clearly seen.

The book chosen for parts II and III is the Apocalypse of John.

C. H. Armbruster (1874–1957) was a civil servant in the Anglo-Sudan government and a linguist specialising in African languages. After visiting Ethiopia on diplomatic missions in 1906 and 1907, Armbruster started working on a description of the Amharic language, resulting in the publication of three complementary works on grammar and vocabulary between 1908 and 1920. Volume 1 focuses on phonetics, phonology, morphology and syntax. Volume 2 was the first English–Amharic vocabulary of its time, and Volume 3 an Amharic–English vocabulary.

The examples were drawn from direct knowledge of the contemporary language, unlike similar works of the period which were often based on centuries-old Ethiopian Orthodox biblical texts.
