The Review
This book was 252 pages. Mr. Hodge is with Answers In Genesis, as such, this book comes from the perspective of a young earth creationist who believes in a literal interpretation of the Bible. I only point this out to clarify the perspective of the book.
I found the book to be fascinating. Mr. Hodge uses this book to answer many questions I have asked myself. A look through the table of contents shows the wide variety of topics related to Babel. His research is thorough and his answers are on point. While I wouldn't say that I agree with all of Mr. Hodge's conclusions I appreciated his work and his perspectives.
What I found particularly interesting was the way the author tracked the people groups from Babel through modern day using the linguistic families that must have been existent after Babel. Tracking people to the modern day was absolutely fascinating. This book is an excellent read and I would suggest it to anyone with an interest in history.
