"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.

This book in one in a series of books which enable believers and nonbelievers to take the Bible seriously but not literally. It highlights where Christians throughout time have misinterpreted the Bible and God and invited ridicule by trying to make the Bible says things that was never intended. A huge thank you to the authors.

Great book explaining the Biblical flood account

The authors seem to focus more on science and other ANE writings than the Bible itself. The theories presented are, I believe possible, while the authors portray them as more than just theory. The reference to ANE writings was overwhelming, it seems they spent more time talking about those than the Bible toward the middle of the book. Overall the theories presented was intriguing and interesting enough to make me want to research them more. The book does a wonderful job not putting down one belief or another. While you can tell it leans a specific way it does not insult the other ways. I do encourage anyone reading/listening to this book to have an open mind otherwise you may just get "offended" by the suggested theories.

Very "Scientific"

Makes a compelling case for the usage of hyperbole in the historical passages of the Bible. However, when applied to the Flood account, this is less than compelling.

For example, it is not well established that the original Israelite audience could have recognized the relevant details as an obvious hyperbole. And should we really think that people from the age of megalithic architecture were incapable of constructing large wooden structures, even to the degree that such descriptions would be seen as hyperbole? After all, it is not that easy to cut through and move monumental blocks of stone.

The book also covers most of the relevant fields of evidence, including biblical interpretation, mesopotamian flood narratives, archaeology, universal flood mythology as well as a scientific critique of Flood Geology.

I found the arguments weak or superficial on multiple points, especially the critique of alternative theories. The arguments against the local flood interpretation have a number of important points, but don't engage in a dialog with more sophisticated versions of the local flood account, so some options are abandoned on weak evidential grounds. A similar tendency can be seen when discussing global flood accounts.

However, this lack of depth seems to be a common problem with books on the topic, and in comparison The Lost World of the Flood is a fairly good introduction to the topic.

A defence of a hyperbolic interpretation of the flood

I liked the book, bought into it, but I don't believe it would have convert anyone who wasn't already part of the way there. Must read other Lost World books to fully grasp this one.

Great book, but probably wouldn't convert.

Don’t agree with every conclusion or even assumption or “fact” put forth but this needs to be part of the conversation. Good job!

Definitely worth the read/listen

A good book but another example of this saying I coined.. “𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝗼𝗺𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝗼𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐮𝗺𝐚𝐧 𝗺𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐚𝐰 𝐬𝐢𝗺𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝗼𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝗼𝐮𝐥.“ 𝐌𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐛𝐬𝗼𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝗼𝐭 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐬𝐢𝗺𝐩𝐥𝐞, 𝐬𝐢𝗺𝐩𝐥𝐞...

Interesting and helpful in developing a broader understanding of the flood story. I found the lost world of Genesis 1 both more compelling and better narrated though.

pretty good

I loved it and am truly greatful to God for John Walton who I truly believe God uses, among others, to find and save from a legion of clamoring voices and a brilliant reminder to always try my best to be loyal to the authority and intent of God's Word and Spirit first and to trust in Him.

May God bless you
