Noahs Flood: The Genesis Story in Western Thought

Noahs Flood: The Genesis Story in Western Thought Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This intriguing book by a master historian explores the ancient story of Noah and the Flood — its origins in pre-Biblical culture, its development in Western thought over 2,000 years, and its fascination for theologians, scientists, and even psychoanalysts. Generously illustrated throughout, the book includes compelling accounts of individuals who endorsed or rejected the story, and of painters, sculptors, poets, dramatists, and composers who found inspiration in it.
