Biblical Faces of Ethiopia

By Christine Turnauer

A magnificent photobook exploring the religious origins of Ethiopia

Ethiopia is characterized by a diversity of religions, ethnicities, and languages, with a history dating back to biblical times. Judaism and Christianity have left many traces in the African country. Christine Turnauer traveled to Ethiopia to explore its Jewish and Christian origins and to photograph deeply religious people. The impressive black-and-white images reveal the interest of the photographer and former assistant to Frank Horvat in the spiritual lives of those she portrayed. Sensitivity and empathy as well as mutual trust and respect were important prerequisites for this. Christine Turnauer was a seeker of meaning who looked at the human condition without reservation.
