The flood narrative is one of the most familiar stories in the Bible, yet Genesis invites us to see far more than a children's tale. Beneath the surface are questions about God's justice, mercy, human nature, and his purposes for the world.

Join Dr Peter Williams, Dr Caleb Howard, and Dr James Bejon as they take a closer look at Genesis 8, exploring the dramatic turning point of the Flood narrative. As the waters begin to recede and the ark comes to rest on the mountains of Ararat, the text raises fascinating questions: Where exactly is Ararat? What was the region known as in the ancient world? And what does it mean when Genesis says that God ‘remembered' Noah? 

Throughout this episode, our hosts uncover rich connections between Genesis 8 and the chapters surrounding it, trace themes that echo throughout the rest of Scripture, and consider how Genesis relates to the wider world of the ancient Near East.
The Flood may have washed away humanity's corruption, but it did not change the human heart. Yet even in the face of ongoing human weakness, God's mercy shines through as he remains faithful to his promises.

Packed with theological insight, historical exploration, biblical connections, and the friendly banter of three brilliant scholars, this is an episode not to be missed.

Plus, it's the penultimate episode of the series! Don't miss this deep dive into one of the Bible's most significant chapters.
