ARTICLES RELATED TO Noah's Ark - Other flood stories | | | |  Noah's Ark - Other flood stories: Encyclopedia II - Noah's Ark - Biblical literalism and the Ark narrativeMany conservative Christians (especially in the United States) and Orthodox Jews are believers in Biblical inerrancy, the concept that the Bible, as the word of God, does not set out to mislead, and hence should be interpreted literally whenever there is no clear reason for any other reading. They also tend to trust in traditions regarding the composition of the Bible. Literalists therefore generally accept the traditional Jewish belief that the Ark narrative in Genesis was written by Moses. There is less agreement on when Moses lived, and thus on when the Ark story was written - various dates have bee ...

| | | | Noah's Ark - Other flood stories: Encyclopedia II - Noah's Ark - The search for Noah's Ark From Eusebius' time to the modern day, the physical Noah's Ark has held a fascination for Christians - although not for Jews and Muslims, who seem to have felt far less impelled to seek out the remains. In the 4th century Faustus of Byzantium was apparently the first to use the name "Ararat" to refer to a specific mountain, rather than a region, where the Ark could still be seen. Recorded visits, however, are few - the Byzantine emperor Heraclius is said to have made the trip in the 7th century, but less well-connected pilgrims had to brave ...

| | | | Noah's Ark - Other flood stories: Encyclopedia II - Noah's Ark - Modern allusions In Western culture, the image of Noah's Ark with its many animals has come to symbolise wildlife preservation movements.
Noah's Ark toys with dozens of pairs of animal figures, usually set up in a long two-abreast line leading to the toy ark, became popular in the 19th century. Modern apologetics ministries like Answers in Genesis oppose these toys on the grounds that, by not following the dimensions given in the Bible, they lead people to conclude that Noah's Ark couldn't have accommodated all the animals on board and t ...

| | | | Noah's Ark - Other flood stories: Encyclopedia II - Noah's Ark - The Ark narrative and earth history In the 16th and 17th centuries, biblical scholars such as Justus Lipsius (1547-1606) and Athanasius Kircher (c.1601-1680) began to study the Ark story as a literal rather than allegorical account of earth history. Investigations of the Ark story, and the resulting hypotheses that harmonized the biblical account with natural historical knowledge, were an important impetus to the study of the geographical distibution of plants and animals, and indirectly spurred the emergence of biogeography in the 18th century. Natural historians also began t ...

Noah's Ark - Mesopotamian flood stories.
The majority of modern scholars accept the thesis that the Biblical flood story is linked to a cycle of Mesopotamian myths with which it shares many features. These include the story of Atrahasis, known from a text dated to 1646-1626 BC; the Ziusudra story, from the late 17th century BC, and believed to be based on much earlier originals; and the story of Utnapishtim, known only from first millenium copies.[15] The Mesopotamian myth-cycle had a very long currency - the las ...

| | | | Noah's Ark - Other flood stories: Encyclopedia II - Noah's Ark - Textual analysis the documentary hypothesis and the Ark narrative The 87 verses of the Ark narrative present a story of great power and poetry, but they also leave an impression of occasional confusion - why does the story tell us twice over that mankind had grown corrupt but that Noah was to be saved (Gen. 6:5-8 and Gen. 6:11-13)? Was Noah commanded to take one pair of each clean animal into the Ark (Gen. 6:19-20) or seven pairs (Gen. 7:2-3)? Did the flood last forty days (Gen. 7:17) or a hundred and fifty days (Gen. 7:24)? What happened to the raven that was sent out from the Ark at the same time as the ...

| | | | Noah's Ark - Other flood stories: Encyclopedia II - Noah's Ark - Narrative This is the story of Noah's Ark according to chapters 6 to 9 of the Book of Genesis:
God, seeing that man had become dedicated to evil, decided to flood the earth and destroy all life. However, He found one good man, Noah, and as he was a "righteous man, blameless among the people of his time", God decided that he would carry forth the lineage of man. God told Noah to make an ark, and to bring with him his wife, and his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and their wives. Additionally, he was to bring pairs of all living creatures, male and ...

Noah's Ark - In Rabbinic tradition.
According to Jewish Rabbinic literature from the first centuries of the Christian era, Noah planted cedars one hundred and twenty years before the Deluge from which he afterward made the Ark. This lengthy period was partly in order to urge the sinful to amend their ways, and partly to allow sufficient time for the construction of the Ark. The animals were not led in by Noah, but by God, who caused them, as well as the spirits of those whose bodies were yet uncreated, to gather ...
