The World that Perished, a companion to The Early Earth, maintains with vigor that the Bible declares and affirms a supernatural, catastrophic flood of worldwide proportions. This declaration is corroborated by scientific observations that are not warped by a uniformitarian bias in geology

John C. Whitcomb, Th.D., taught theology and Old Testament from 1951 to 1990 at Grace Theological Seminary, Winona Lake, Indiana. Among his other books are The Early Earth, The Bible and Astronomy and Our Created Moon (co-authored).
