    If you want a Coptic language edition you'd do best contacting the Coptic Church on line. If you just want the books that are in the Coptic Bible you can go to Barnes & Nobles and buy the following ... The Book of Enoch, the Book of Jubelees, and either a Catholic Bible or a copy of the original King James Version which also contained the Protestant Apocrapha. The reason that I say this is because the only real difference between the Coptic Bible and, say, the Roman Catholic version is the inclusion by the Coptic Church of the Book of Enoch and the Book of Jubelees. And these aren't hard to find. The Book of Enoch is easy to find. The Book of Jubelees is a little harder because its usually published along with other texts as well. I've never seen a bound copy of it by itself before. One book that includes it is The Lost Books of the Bible and the Forgotten Books of Eden. That's pretty easy to find. Good luck. ~ Peace & Blessings ~ P.S. I'm familiar with the organization in Arkansas refered to by the other person who answered your question. I'm sure they have a good library and all, but knowing them as I do (because I live not far from them) I wouldn't bother. They don't deal in what they would consider extra-biblical material.

    beautiful question. For starters, the classic Sahidic Coptic translators did no longer labor decrease than the burden of Trinitarianism, by making use of making use of truth the doctrine of the Trinity, because it exists on the on the spot, had no longer been formulated at that aspect. plenty more beneficial likely, in the adventure that they have got been inspired in any appreciate, it replaced into by making use of using the Christology of instructors like Origen, a cutting-edge and fellow Egyptian student. The Sahidic Coptic translations of the present testomony are literally not Gnostic, and characteristic no longer something to do with the controversal Gnostic "gospels" of Thomas, Philip, or Judas. In his "commentary on the Gospel of John," the church father Origen reported that the Greek of John a million:a million made a huge difference between "the God" and "god" without the Greek effective article, it fairly is how the emblems (be wide awake) is defined. All translators and scholars, alongside with Dr. Metzger, talk from their doctrinal or theological presuppositions. apparently that the Sahidic Coptic translators were closer in theology to the apostles of the Lord in quite some thoughts, at the same time as in evaluation with theologians on the on the spot. also, apparently that the Sahidic Coptic translators were more beneficial keen to easily translate the present testomony Greek texts, quite than attempting to import interpretations into them. they enable the textual content fabric talk for itself, and that extra about more beneficial proper translations interior the Coptic textual content fabric. to no longer infer that the Coptic textual content fabric is suitable. even no matter if it fairly is an progression over quite some what translators have carried out to the Biblical textual content fabric on the on the spot. And the Sahidic Coptic textual content fabric stands plenty closer in time to the unique Greek New testomony productions.
