Summary/Abstract: Jean-André Deluc, one of the most prominent Swiss naturalists of the eighteenth-century, saw his extensive scholarly work as an enhancement of theological investigations. For him, the Scripture was an ultimate authority in theological problems, however, the veracity and the reliability of the Scripture needed support by scholarly investigation of nature. In particular, Deluc’s was a life-long effort to show that the Biblical account of the flood can be supported by the geological data available in his times.
