But I do hope what follows helps students now, and in the future, get a grasp on the voluminous works left behind. Apologist today may agree or disagree with him, but after reading him you will see that he cannot be ignored. This brief but packed book with instructive charts and notes shows the great familiarity and depth he had with the content of the entire Bible. It reveals the Christological unity of the Bible related to its structure and briefly touches on some theological issues.
Published in the same year with his lifelong friend William Nix, A General Introduction to the Bible Moody, is an in-depth text that covers the inspiration, canonization, and transmission of the Bible. This book has stood the test of time staying in print through its revision and expansion in An intermediate spin-off is From God to Us Moody, that was updated and expanded in In both books, arguments are made for the inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible, as well as the application of the five-criterion set for discovering canonical books and eliminating non-canonical books, a historical summary of the transmission of the English Bible as well as a review of English translations.
This book, Geisler once explained grew out of the first teaching opportunity that required him to teach on the Old Testament. Standing the test of time, this text stayed in print for many years. These books are helpful texts for high school students or college freshman. The chapters conclude with study questions and are filled with charts and colored pictures in the newest editions.
I used them myself while teaching Bible classes in a Christian school and found them easy to make test questions from and handouts. Geisler served as the general editor of ICBI publications.
This book gives a history of ICBI, surveys recent scholars that have deviated or attacked inerrancy, and concludes with a defense and explanation of biblical inerrancy in relation to the nature of God, truth, language, hermeneutics, and an appendix on theistic evolution. It concludes with two important chapters on how Orthodoxy can be lost and how it can be preserved.
Geisler also helped found defendinginerrancy. The book, The Popular Handbook of Archeology and the Bible Harvest House argues for the reliability of the Old and New Testament manuscripts and history followed by a survey of important archaeological discoveries that corroborate both testaments. He surveys several belief systems distinct from Theism: Atheism, Pantheism, Panentheism, Finite Godism, Deism, and Polytheism, and then turns to critiques the two major opposing worldviews: Atheism and Pantheism.
This is as early and basic of a theistic apologetic one will find from Geisler. This book also followed the film documentary by the same title produced by Jeremiah Films. There are helpful charts that map out the differences between these views and the second edition provides a chart that connects them with their expressive religions.
I remember coming back from summer break and meeting with Dr. Geisler in a sandwich shop with my friend who was also his research assistant. Bethany House, After quickly surveying the familiar views of God, he holds nothing back in defending classical Christian Theism, biblically, theologically, and philosophically. In teaming up with H.
Creation and Evolution: Origin Science vs. Operation Science Dr. Arkansas that mandated the teaching of creation along with evolution. This book also contains a chapter defending the teaching of creation in public schools.
In Geisler teamed up with J. This book lays out the all-important distinction between operation and origin science. While Geisler takes up the issue of creation vs. Following this, Geisler released what he accounted as one of the most enjoyable books he ever wrote: Knowing the Truth About Creation Servant, While there are many differences between believers on how to interpret the Genesis creation account, this book sets out what all evangelicals should hold in common about creation biblically, philosophically, and morally.
It is important to recognize that Geisler saw his apologetic for Jesus Christ as not ending with the resurrection, but what the risen Christ taught about the Bible in the historically reliable New Testament. And doctrinally his treatment of Christ can be found must fully in his Systematic Theology.
There are two important works defending the physical resurrection of Jesus against some New Testament scholars who advocated or use to advocate for a spiritual resurrected body. The Battle for the Resurrection Thomas Nelson, takes the controversy head-on. After surveying the history of the doctrine and sketching out the contemporary denials, Geisler lays out the biblical evidence for the physical resurrection verse by verse.
This was followed by a more in-depth analysis and point by point response to Murry Harris in the book In Defense of the Resurrection Witness Inc. It wraps up with a survey of supposed anti- apologetic passages from Jesus and Jesus life as an apologetic, and the role of the Holy Spirit in apologetics.
This book contains an extensive exposition of different aspects and forms of humanism including evolutionary, behavioral existential, pragmatic, Marxist, cultural and even Christian humanism. Following this Geisler offers a critique of humanism starting with its positive or helpful features and then moving to its inadequacies and inconsistencies. Geisler answers the debate from the simplicity of God and the biblical data that teaches divine sovereignty and human responsibility.
Having heard Geisler teaching on this in class, he expressed his desire many times to do a full book on this topic. Geisler did just that in by publishing one of his most controversial books, Chosen But Free Bethany House. Revised two times, mostly to respond to his critics, Chosen But Free lays out the all-important attributes of God, especially pure actuality and simplicity, he presents the historical alternatives and then steers a course between the extreme views of Strong Calvinism and Arminianism.
Geisler also provides a defense of free will and unlimited atonement. The work is thoroughly grounded in Thomistic philosophy. He updated it in Baker with his former student and friend Winfried Corduan. Geisler and Corduan survey many arguments for the existence of God and offer a revaluation of the Cosmological argument thoroughly grounded in Thomistic philosophy.
One feature of this argument, which a version of it is also used in his Christian Apologetics see below is the ability to begin with being itself, or existence, and reason not only to the existence of God, but the necessary nature of God without depending on the ontological argument as pure actuality, with no potentiality.
A unique feature of this text is the coverage on the relationship between God and logic as well as the many Christian and biblical examples used to teach logic. The exercises at the end each chapter and a key in the back make it for a great self-learning text. That same year Geisler along with David Clark released what is still to date, to the best of my knowledge, the only full book-length philosophical analysis and critique of Pantheism by an evangelical: Apologetics in the New Age: A Christian Critique of Pantheism Baker.
This book gives an exposition of five kinds of Pantheism and then thoroughly critics the worldview, religious dimensions, and the problem of evil. Students will recognize these as a clear outworking of his extensive class outlines and notes.
This was added to his second edition of Christian Apologetics see chapter 15 but was also released as an eBook Bastion with more extensive commentary. Offensively he makes a positive case using a philosophical argument to establish the nature of truth, Theism, and then uses evidence to establish the resurrection and teaching of Jesus concerning the Bible.
This includes topics and issues such as miracles, evil, Bible difficulties and the challenge of various cults and religions opposed to Christianity. First published in , Christian Apologetics Baker, stood the test of time, having stayed in print through its second edition in to this day. This is an advanced graduate level text. Part one, Methodology, assess systems that purport to test for truth claims.
These not only include skeptical approaches but various apologetic systems. The second part, Theistic Apologetics, surveys all views of God opposed to theism.
The last part is Christian Apologetics, which lays out the evidence for the reliability of the New Testament, the resurrection of Jesus and the inspiration of the Bible.
The book also contains important chapters that link the sections such as formulating an adequate test for truth, supernatural vs. Many consider it the fullest and highest expression of his thought on apologetics.
In Geisler teamed up with Frank Turek who studied under him at SES and also traveled with him speaking on the twelve points. Each chapter covers one or more of the twelve points with extensive analysis and illustrations. This can be used as an adult or high school text on apologetics. This middle school to high school text with exercises and questions breaks down the twelve points to three steps: philosophical reasons, theistic God and evidence. Each chapter covers one point of the twelve points.
While his whole system includes many points, it was reduced to the now-famous twelve points in the s. A second edition was released in In all these books, he covers the nature, origin, purpose of evil, physical evil, and problems related to hell and those who never hear the gospel. However, his Philosophy of Religion contains his advanced treatment of the topic of God and evil. In Miracles and Modern Thought Probe is released.
Both deal with answering objections to the impossibility, irrationality, unscientific, historicity, definability of miracles and actuality of miracles. The second edition, expands and updates the first in many areas and briefly defends Old Testament miracles and a list of all miracles in the Bible.
In Geisler started the first of a three stand-alone book set sharing the title When. This is in a question-answer format that covers questions about God, evil, miracles, Jesus Christ, the Bible, evolution, the afterlife, truth, and morals. The final chapter incorporates an early version of the twelve points and organizes the chapters around them. It was revised in Baker. Then systematically goes through each book of the Bible in order given the problem and then proposed solutions found in each book.
The first chapter covers the characteristics of a cult. Then following the order of biblical books first gives the cultic misinterpretation followed by the correction.
Originally intended to be the fourth in the When. Written at an intermediate level, clearly above the previous Ask book level, contains graphs and charts. This duel column 7.
As one of the team members, I can remember Geisler asking me to pull articles out of stack because the publisher would not go any larger or do two volumes. When it comes to religions that opposed the evangelical Christian faith, Geisler was not silent. Teaming up with J.
With Amano, Geisler also wrote The Reincarnation Sensation Tyndale, that explains the many facets of reincarnation and its influence, while also providing a critique with respect to its injustice and incompatibility with Christianity.
Following this, they wrote a popular book on The Infiltration of the New Age Tyndale, that shows the pervasive influence in the West and offers a Christian critique of many New Age practices and beliefs. In typical fashion, the first part gives an exposition of basic Islamic doctrines, then offers a Christian response followed by a positive defense of Christianity. Of interest may be the chapter on the Trinity and the critique of Islamic Monotheism.
