Building on a single verse in Genesis, Clay McConkie develops a speculative theory that the "division of the earth" in the days of Peleg was not a scattering of peoples or drifting continents, but a massive deluge of subterranean water from the north countries. Drawing on the Bible, Josephus, and Doctrine and Covenants section 133, he reframes the Tower of Babel, examines chronology and population growth after the Flood, and connects Peleg's era to the latter-day restoration of the earth.
- A fresh answer to one of Genesis's most puzzling single verses
- Reverses the usual order: the earth's division came BEFORE the Tower of Babel
- Ties an obscure Old Testament name to latter-day prophecy and the return of the lost tribes
- Uses Doctrine and Covenants 133 as the key that unlocks an ancient mystery
“It is as though a tremendous thought were purposely sandwiched between two relatively unimportant items of genealogy for some unknown purpose.”
Perfect for a doctrinally curious Latter-day Saint who enjoys speculative gospel scholarship connecting Old Testament puzzles to modern revelation.
