Review of 'The Lost World of the Flood: Mythology, Theology, and the Deluge Debate The Lost World of the Flood: Mythology, Theology, and the Deluge Debate' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This was much more academic than the previous Lost World reads. It was much more difficult to get through. I do like the propositions it lays out, with some caveats towards the end. It feels like both Walton and Longman are tip-toeing around taking a stance, they are trying overly hard to keep their personal opinions out of it (and hence why it's more academic writing). But that's not why people pick up these Lost World books. They want to know the propositions and what the authors believe about them.
