Grappling with the Chronology of the Genesis Flood

by Steven Boyd & Andrew Snelling

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 have written a definitive account of the Genesis Flood with detailed research into the original biblical text and evidences unlocked by modern science and study, including:

• 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
• Numerous geological, geophysical, and paleontological indications pointing to the reality and global scope of the Flood
• How and why their exhaustive research began, putting forth objectives, criticisms they would address, as well as identifying obstacles to be resolved.

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.
