Overview

The story of the Deluge - or the Global Flood of Noah - permeates nearly every culture in the world in some way, shape, or form. While details vary between the different cultures, the same basic elements, occur in all versions. Despite the striking similarities of these accounts, some mythologists have looked at the minor differences in the stories and declared: "This never happened!"

There is another alternative - to accept that the different versions all refer to the same event - passed on from generation to generation, through various developing cultures. Through these legends, this epic event has remained woven into the tapestry of cultural history - sharing not just the story of survival, but the power of obedience, and the fulfillment of God's enduring promise.

Myths vs Reality
Review by Jennifer
This book breaks down the local legends from around the world that parallel the flood of Noah. They compare stories, broken up by topics, and give explanations for the discrepancies. It’s fascinating to read about the supporting histories of ancient civilizations showing the survival of Noah’s story though different cultures.
