After the Manner of Egypt: Worldwide Catastrophes and the Biblical Record

This book provides a correlation of geological, archaeological and historical records with the Bible presented in a new perspective. Why a new perspective? This implies that previous attempts at correlating these items have not provided satisfactory answers to all the factors involved, and from my own experience, this is correct. Most Bible teaching does not include correlation of historical information from other nations with the historical events of the Israelites, and so important information is not conveyed to the student. Teachers should not be faulted for this because this type of information is not included in study material. Also, events of judgment other than the flood are looked upon as local events, even though in some cases the Scripture states otherwise. The perspective which is the basis for this book is that a series of catastrophic events in the post-flood era have had significant impact on the geological features of the earth and on the history of man, and that correlate with the Scripture. While the viewpoint of post-flood catastrophes is not necessarily new, it has not been closely related to the Scripture from a fundamental viewpoint, even though the Scripture has been used to support the general concept of multiple catastrophes. PURPOSE The purpose in preparing this material is to provide information in a single volume on geological and archeological findings and relevant ancient history records, and show that there is a consistent correlation with events recorded in the Scripture. It is also intended that this material will provide: 1. A basis for understanding much of the world topography which we have today and the recent changes which have produced it. 2. Information which will show that the idea of a stable solar system, the basic foundation for the theory of evolution, is not valid, and that an unstable solar system existed during most of the ages of early history. 3. Information to help show that basic sciences and the Scripture do agree. 4. Information to give new meaning and a new pe
