To those who ask, "Who is Norm Geisler?" some have suggested, "If you can imagine a cross between Thomas Aquinas and Billy Graham, you're not too far off."
Norm authored or co-authored over 100 books and hundreds of articles. He taught theology, philosophy, and classical Christian apologetics on the undergraduate and graduate level for over 50 years and served as a professor at some of the finest seminaries in the United States, including Trinity Evangelical Seminary, Dallas Theological Seminary, Veritas International University, and Southern Evangelical Seminary.
