==Theology==
Geisler is a conservative evangelical scholar who has written a four-volume systematic theology.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Kreider|first1=Glenn|title=Review: Systematic Theology by Normal Geisler|url=http://www.dts.edu/reviews/norman-geisler-systematic-theology/|website=Dallas Theological Seminary|accessdate=December 23, 2014}}</ref>
He is a strong defender of the full inerrancy of the Bible, being one of the co-founders and framers of the "Chicago Statement of Biblical Inerrancy" (1978) and editor of the book ''Inerrancy'' (Zondervan, 1978). More recently, he co-authored ''Defending Inerrancy'' with William Roach (Baker, 2013). He also co-authored (with William Nix) ''General Introduction to the Bible'' (Moody Press, 1986)<ref>{{cite web|title=A General Introduction to the Bible|url=http://www.christianbook.com/general-introduction-the-bible-revised-expanded/norman-geisler/9780802429162/pd/2916X|website=Christian Book|accessdate=December 23, 2014}}</ref> and ''From God to Us'', revised (Moody, 2012).
Geisler considers himself a "moderate Calvinist", as expressed in his book ''Chosen but Free'' (Harvest House, 2001) and ''Systematic Theology, in One Volume'' (Harvest House, 2012). On the Five Points of Calvinism, he believes:
#Total depravity extends to the whole person but does not destroy the image of God in fallen human beings;
#Election is unconditional from the standpoint of God's giving it and only one condition for humans receiving it—faith;
#The atonement is unlimited in its scope—Christ died for all mankind—but limited in its application to only the elect;
#Grace is irresistible on the willing but does not force the unwilling;
#All those who are regenerate will, by God's grace, persevere to the end and be saved.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Allen|first1=Bob|title=Traditional Southern Baptists counter Calvinism|url=http://baptistnews.com/faith/theology/item/28790-traditional-southern-baptists-counter-calvinism|website=Baptist News Global|accessdate=December 23, 2014}}</ref>
Baris 77 ⟶ 90:
Geisler advocates the view called [[graded absolutism]], which is a theory of [[moral absolutism]] which resolves the objection to absolutism that in moral conflicts we are obligated to opposites.{{Sfn |Geisler |2009}} Moral absolutism is the [[Ethics|ethical]] view that certain actions are absolutely right or wrong regardless of other contexts such as their consequences or the intentions behind them. Graded absolutism is moral absolutism but clarifies that a moral absolute, like "Do not kill," can be greater or lesser than another moral absolute, like "Do not lie". According to graded absolutism, in [[Ethical dilemma|moral conflicts]], the dilemma is not that we are obligated to opposites, because greater absolutes are not opposites of lesser absolutes, and evil is not the opposite of good but is instead the privation of good. Since evil is the privation of good, only the privation of the greater good counts as evil, since whenever there is a moral conflict, we are only obligated to the greater good. The real dilemma is that we cannot perform both conflicting absolutes at the same time. 'Which' absolutes are in conflict depends on the context, but which conflicting absolute is ‘greater’ does not depend on the context. That is why graded absolutism is also called 'contextual absolutism' but is not to be confused with [[situational ethics]]. The conflict is resolved in acting according to the greater absolute. That is why graded absolutism is also called the 'greater good view', but is not to be confused with [[utilitarianism]]{{Citation needed |date=January 2012}} (see also [[prima facie right|''prima facie'' right]].)
