The Quest for Noah's Ark

By John Warwick Montgomery

Book Overview

In this compelling volume, renowned scholar John Warwick Montgomery presents a meticulously curated collection of accounts documenting sightings of Noah's Ark and expeditions to Mount Ararat from antiquity to the modern era. Not merely for library research, these sources informed Dr. Montgomery's own journeys to Mount Ararat, which he summited in 1970. Drawing on historical sources, eyewitness testimonies, and rare archival materials, The Quest for Noah's Ark offers a rich tapestry of evidence surrounding one of the Bible's most famous events. Complete with detailed maps, photographs, and artistic renderings, this work serves both the historian and the Christian apologist. Organized into thematic sections--from the biblical account of the Flood to modern-day quests fueled by "Ark Fever"--this book provides a scholarly yet accessible exploration of a subject that continues to fascinate and inspire. This is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in biblical archaeology, historical theology, or the enduring legacy of the Genesis narrative.

great work, a small criticism

excellent documentation and sources, footnotes exceptional. A serious scholar, but he could not keep his Christian slant from his interputations, it shows in spots. He also used !!! several times, Very unacceptable for a scholarly work. though they could have been added by editiors. He could have stressed more heavily that the ARK was not a ship or boat, rather a flatbottom, box or barge. Thus down playing the several reports of sighting a prow or deepwater hull.This persistent Christian representation of a huge sea-going vessels aptly illustrates the problems cause by lack of concern of basic accuracy.(not on the author's part however) BUT WORTH READING.

History plus author's journey to Ararat

Profound and prolific writer tells not the only the history up until early 1970's but includes his own trip with his son up on Mt. Ararat.Deepened appreciation for "ark fever" and thankful for the appendexed communications with other explorations.
