THE DELUGE STORY IN STONE, by Byron C. Nelson, Th. M. (second edi tion). This is a companion book to the author’s better known “After Its Kind,” and presents strong evidence that the various geological strata and their fossils did not come the way as currently taught in the theory of uniformity. Rather, the author sug gests, all the strata were laid down in that comparatively brief, but tre mendously catastrophic, period of the flood of Noah. Mr. Nelson chooses to deal with this subject mainly from a historical standpoint, showing that this uniformity theory was widely ac cepted by scientific men in past cen turies. The book is exceptionally well printed and the illustrations are profuse. The subject matter is treated in a thorough, scholarly fashion. In teresting evidence in support of the universality of the flood is presented. This volume should be valuable to alert Christians. 190 pages. Augsburg Pub. House, Minneapolis, Minn. Cloth.
