About this listen

"The flood continued forty days on the earth; and the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it rose high above the earth . . . and the ark floated on the face of the waters." (Gen 6:17-18 NRSV)

In our modern age the Genesis flood account has been probed and analyzed for answers to scientific, apologetic, and historical questions. It is a text that has called forth flood geology, fueled searches for remnants of the ark on Mount Ararat, and inspired a full-size replica of Noah's ark in a biblical theme park. Some claim that the very veracity of Scripture hinges on a particular reading of the flood narrative. But do we understand what we are reading? Longman and Walton urge us to hit the pause button and ask, what might the biblical author have been saying to his ancient audience?

As with other books in the Lost World series, The Lost World of the Flood is an informative and enlightening journey toward a more responsible reading of a timeless biblical narrative.

Excellent Book

I enjoyed John Walton’s breakdown of Genesis 1-11. I’ve had many questions about difficult passages in this area of the Bible, and John did a thorough breakdown of every one of them. He even gives a mini breakdown of flood geology and speaks about ancient flood myths, which was super fascinating.

I recommend this book to anyone who takes the Bible seriously and wants to learn about Genesis 1-11. It is certainly a resource that young evangelicals throughout the world should have access to.
