Summary
"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.

Another good "lost world"
An interesting and worthwhile listen, though the tone adopted by the reader quickly became irritating. I'm finishing it despite that, it's well worth the effort.

A tsunami of praise
I loved this book. I did wonder if an audio version of the book would be hard to follow but it is not. the book covered lots of questions I had about the flood but also I am grateful that the authors shared some thoughts at the end about how to approach Biblical texts and science. Their observations would benefit both the phariseical Christian and the scientist ignorant of religion alike.
The Bible is not a science book and in my opinion would be a very boring read if it were. But it does have a message and it is the message the author of the story is trying to transmit that is important.
I loved this so much that I am going to buy the one done on Adam and Eve.

Ridiculous!
A nice try, but so illogical and factually wrong. It is a shame that so much research has been made only to end with an illogical and unscientific statement "but no such proof has been found" . A warning to fellow Christians.

chalk full of logical fallacies.
I struggled to get past the first hour after I heard the words ''if something cannot be proven wrong it should be assumed to be true''. there was so much wrong in this book it was difficult to finish.

faithless
this book is written by a man who has no faith whatsoever. oh he believes in God but doesn't trust him. rather he trusts science which proves itself wrong constantly. expertly narrated, however the author accuses God of lying. he calls upon hyperbole and says that God didn't mean what he told Moses when he wrote Genesis. he will say, well we don't know Moses wrote Torah, which then calls Jesus a liar. I was looking forward to this book, sadly it is utterly false and proves that we live in an apostate age.
he even concludes by saying we should trust God. having gone out of his way to tell us he is untrustworthy. like this author proves to be.
