[[caption-width-right:350:The continents are sinking. A man sets out to find God.]]

->''On the day that the continents began to sink, I lost my faith in God.

->It wasn't a crisis of faith, brought on by the terrible news. I did not raise my fist to the sky and curse God for abandoning mankind. It was simply an absence; the sudden realization that something wasn't there. Where faith had been in my heart, there was nothing - and I couldn't tell whether that was good or bad. It just... was.''
-->-- '''Teaser Trailer'''

''Gospels of the Flood'' is an audio drama narrated by a priest who lost his faith and struggles with this newfound absence in his life. All around the world, the continents are sinking, no one knows what's happening, and our narrator goes looking for ''meaning''.

The story is written by Jonas Kyratzes and voiced by Peter Wingfield with music and sound effects by Chris Christodoulou. It's composed of 7 episodes of around 15 minutes each.

This podcast can be listened to for free on many podcast platforms or directly on [[https://gospelsoftheflood.com/ the official website]], which also has the transcript of all the episodes.

!!''Gospels of the Flood'' contains examples of:
* CrisisOfFaith: The core of the whole story.
* HidingBehindReligion: [[spoiler: John]]. We get introduced to his whole benevolent facade before the narrator reveals this trope is in action. He also becomes a FalseProphet to better pursue his goals.
* NoNameGiven: The narrator is never named.
* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: Of the religious flavour, with the names of all the priests the narrator studied with.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Simon is genuinely trying to better the world. His visceral certitude that HumansAreBastards pushes him to some extreme measures, though.
