Biografi

Geisler meninggalkan Evangelical Theological Society pada tahun 2003, setelah sekolah itu tidak mau mengeluarkan Clark Pinnock, yang mendukung open theism.[1] Pada akhir abad ke-20, Geisler memasuki arena Mormon: ia mengarang bersama Rhodes When Cultists Ask: A Popular Handbook on Cultic Misinterpretation.[2] 47 artikel yang didaftarkan di indeks berkaitan dengan Mormonisme. Ia berkontribusi kepada The Counterfeit Gospel of Mormonism.[3] Pada tahun 2009, Geisler bersama-sama mendirikan Veritas Evangelical Seminary di Murrieta, California. Seminari ini menawarkan gelar master dalam bidang Teologi, Apologetik dan Divinity. Geisler menjabat sebagai Chancellor, distinguished Professor of Apologetics and Theology dan Norman L. Geisler Chair of Christian Apologetics.[4]

Geisler menikah dengan Barbara Jean dan mereka dikaruniai enam anak, 15 cucu dan 3 cicit.

Pendidikan

Pendidikan Geisler meliputi program diploma (1955) dan Th.B. (1964) dari William Tyndale College, B.A. dalam bidang filsafat (1958) dan M.A. dalam bidang teologi (1960) dari Wheaton College, dan Ph.D. dalam bidang filsafat dari Loyola University. Ia mengerjakan karya graduat tambahan pada Wayne State University, University of Detroit, dan Northwestern University di Evanston, Illinois.[5]

Pandangan mengenai etika

Geisler percaya bahwa Revolusi Amerika tidak dapat dibenarkan dari standar Alkitab maupun teori perang adil. Namun, ia bukan sama sekali seorang "pasifis", percaya bahwa perang untuk membela diri dapat dibenarkan tetapi revolusi tidak.[6][halaman dibutuhkan]
