Just a few miscellaneous comments.
Chapter 10 is about what occurred at Babel.
On page 177 is a discussion of how God's command to Noah at Genesis 9:1 to "fill the earth" was not "mere biological reproduction and dispersion, but an evangelistic imperative as well."
It wasn't mentioned in the text, but this is a parallel to the Great Commission of the New Testament.
Going back to Genesis 1, I just noticed that God commanded the animals of the sea and the birds of the air to be fruitful and multilply and fill their habitats, but He did not give a similar command to the beasts of the earth. I thought that was interesting.
The authors, on page 177, describe how building the tower of Babel was similar to the golden calf idolatry, explaining that the story of Babel is a story of apostasy.
I thought the whole chapter on The Flood and the Tower of Babel contained many good points.
