A few years ago, a friend gave me a copy of After The Flood, by Bill Cooper. I was fascinated, and read through the entire book, appendices and all, in a couple of evenings. It was full of research and details about what happened just after Noah’s Flood, and how mankind was forced to spread out across the face of the earth after God’s actions at the Tower of Babel.

I loved the information presented in After The Flood. But I wasn’t aware of much else along the same lines until recently.

A few days ago, I received a copy of Bodie Hodge‘s Tower of Babel. Once again, I devoured this book, cover to cover, in just a couple of evenings. I simply couldn’t put it down.

Check out the Master Book book trailer to see what I mean:

Tower of Babel is packed full of tons of incredible information. And after reading it, one has to wonder how mankind can continue to deny God’s existence and involvement throughout history.

To start out, Hodge covers several important questions about history shortly after Noah’s Flood. He takes several brief chapters and quickly discusses such topics as why man was disobedient, when this dispersion occurred,and where it occurred. He discusses the purpose of the tower, and whether or not Nimrod was involved, and even digs into some of the basics of linguistics and language families.

And then you get to Chapter 17…

This chapter blew me away. Bodie Hodge has taken most, if not all, of the major descendants of Noah, who are listed in the Table of Nations in Genesis 10, and has researched what happened to each group. Each group has a map depicting their migrations, showing where they went initially, as well as further splits and scatterings.

This chapter represents so much information, it’s staggering. And even though it’s seventy pages long, it’s easily read and hard to put down.

Tower of Babel was fascinating to read. But the implications are tremendous. With so much verifiable research accomplished for this book, it goes a long way to strengthening the foundation of biblical authority, especially in the area of early history. Here’s why: if these stories from the early chapters of Genesis are true, then the alternatives for our history currently being taught in the public arena cannot also be true. Since this all happened so long ago, and details have been shrouded by the mists of time, it’s hard to know. But in this volume, we are presented with research, facts and data that present God’s Word in a fashion that cannot be refuted.

And if the authority of God’s Word is proven to be true in history, then it holds true in all other areas as well.

The only question that’s left is this: How are we going to respond?
