When The Genesis Flood first appeared reviewers predicted it would be quoted, referred to, and widely discussed in the years ahead. Carefully written and well-documented, the book has since become a classic apologetic for Biblical creationism and the universality of the Flood described in the Book of Genesis.

The authors, each a recognized scholar in his field, frankly and unabashedly affirm their belief in the verbal inspiration of Scripture and its inerrancy and infallibility. They delineate the inadequacies of uniformitarianism and evolution and proceed to present a Biblically based system of creationism and catatrophism. They stress the philosophic and scientific necessity of a “creation apparent age,” as well as the importance of geologic and hydrologic catastrophes, especially that of the great Deluge during the days of Noah. Replete with scientific data from the disciplines of hydrology, geology, and archaeology, The Genesis Flood asks the reader to consider the reorientation of pertinent scientific data within the framework for Biblical creationism and catastrophism. Many illustrations, charts, and diagrams, along with extensive indices, aid the reader in the quest for harmonization of the Biblical record and scientific data. Opposing viewpoints are given careful and courteous treatment.
