About

Introduction:

“Because modernists now declare the story of the flood is unreasonable
and impossible, should we disbelieve the account of Noah and the flood
as related in the Old Testament?”

This intentionally concise and plainly written booklet seeks to address
the above question from President Howard W. Hunter by presenting the
case for a Universal Flood. The End Notes & Further Reading provide
additional information and sources for those who wish to study the topic in
greater depth.

Although the author has sought to be faithful to the scriptures and
teachings of the prophets, and to the evidence cited throughout, the views
and opinions expressed herein are solely his own and do not necessarily
reflect those of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
