How Do We Know about Noah?

Only the one true God of the Bible has always existed and always tells the truth (Titus 1:2). So, the best way to know about past events such as the account of Noah is by reading the book God wrote—the Bible (2 Timothy 3:16). God used more than 40 different men to write down what He wanted us to know about Him in the 66 books that make up our Bible.

There are two sections in the Bible. The 39 books of the Old Testament were written in the years before Jesus came to earth. The 27 books of the New Testament were written shortly after Jesus returned to heaven about 2,000 years ago.

We find the true account of Noah in the first book of the Bible, Genesis (chapters 6–9). One of the men God chose to write about the events of Noah’s time was a man named Moses.
