The Rocks Don't Lie: A Geologist Investigates Noah's Flood
“Starred review.  Brilliant and provocative, Montgomery's exploration of scientific and theological understandings of Noah's flood vibrantly opens our eyes to the marvels of ancient rocks that are far grander than ourselves.” (Publishers Weekly)“Starred review. Though Montgomery obviously knows his science, he also  knows how to write, so this isn't just history of science. It's  literature.” (Ray Olson - Booklist)“Examining a wide variety of flood and creation stories across centuries, Montgomery provides an enthusiastic and valuable recounting of the history of geology and how the advances in science have consistently faced opposition from the guardians of so-called religious authority, based on a literal reading of the Bible.” (Kirkus Reviews)“Montgomery... offers a thorough critique of creationist worldviews... while treating his opponents with respect, reflecting on both ancient and modern debates and demonstrating that Christians have been arguing among themselves about these subjects for millennia. ...The combination of historical study and humility on behalf of geology makes for an extremely persuasive work.  Highly recommended.” (John M. Kistler - Library Journal)“A MacArthur Fellow presents a surprising perspective on Noah's Flood by interrogating the rock strata in a roadbed in Kentucky.” (Publishers Weekly)
