Understand this highly debated flash point for scientific debate, academic criticism, and common confusion with this unique presentation.

  • Delve into the technical aspects of the chronology, historicity, and significance of understanding this landmark event, including what we can learn from the Hebrew words used to describe it.
  • Examine the numerous geological, geophysical, and paleontological indications pointing to the reality and global scope of the Flood.
  • Learn how and why the authors' exhaustive research began, putting forth objectives, criticisms they would address, and identifying obstacles to be resolved.

The Flood as described in the Book of Genesis not only shaped the global landscape, it is an event that literally forms our understanding of early biblical history. Now an experienced team of scientists and theologians has written a definitive account of the Genesis Flood with detailed research into the original biblical text and evidences unlocked by modern science and study.

Often recounted and discounted as just a myth or children's story, what we find with deeper study is instead a cataclysmic event, one that truly wiped out life on our planet with the exception of those preserved through God's plan. The devastation the Genesis Flood wreaked upon a rebellious world remains an important part of the biblical narrative we should understand for what it was - a divine act of judgment on a sin-immersed world.

A must-have for every family
Review by Rebecca
Grappling with the Chronology of the Genesis Flood takes you on a unique, in-depth voyage of discovery as you read this book. The authors’ intent is to help you chart a course to better understanding of the Genesis Flood. For as tough a read as this is, they present it in a fun way to go through it. I have always loved to study the topics included in Genesis 1-11, so when I had the opportunity to review this book, I jumped at the chance.

I would definitely recommend that you slowly make your way through this book rather than pick it up and read all the way through at once. There is so much wisdom and knowledge to be gained from this book, but it is not an easy read. The purpose is to take you far beyond what you may have learned about the flood as portrayed in a children’s bible story.

I would use this book more as a reference book as you study the flood - the preface even includes a list and overview of chapters to definitely read, and then recommends to those who want a more in-depth study of Hebrew grammar and general linguistics to read the remaining chapters. A subject index and glossary is included at the end of the book.

This book is one that every family should own for their home library to aid in digging for a deeper understanding of the Flood.

I received a free copy of the digital format of this book. All opinions in this review are my own.
