    Is Man the Measure?
    • 2019

      A significant theological conflict is emerging within the evangelical church, centering on the doctrine of the resurrection. Recent actions by prominent evangelical schools and denominations reveal a troubling trend: some faculty members are denying the physical resurrection of Jesus, suggesting instead a spiritual interpretation. This shift challenges the core tenets of Christian faith, which affirm the resurrection as central to salvation. The book serves as a warning about these doctrinal deviations, urging believers to recognize and confront the threats to their foundational beliefs.

      The Battle for the Resurrection, Third Edition
    • 2015

      Every believer has questions about God, the Bible, Jesus, and the purpose and meaning of life. The vexing problem is that so few believers are able to answer even the most basic ones. Without answers, doubt creeps in and the future of the church is in jeopardy. With insight and precision, Geisler and Jimenez address one hundred penetrating questions that the culture asks and Christians must be prepared to answer, including both controversial questions raging in the public sphere and personal questions about family issues, the purpose and meaning of life, and the future of the world. Christians from every walk of life, especially young believers, youth workers, and parents, will treasure this comprehensive resource. Foreword by Josh and Sean McDowell.

      According to the authors, the doctrine of inerrancy has been standard, accepted teaching for more than 1,000 years. In 1978, the famous "Chicago Statement" on inerrancy was adopted by the Evangelical Theological Society, and for decades it has been the accepted conservative evangelical doctrine of the Scriptures. However, in recent years, some prominent evangelical authors have challenged this statement in their writings.Now eminent apologist and bestselling author Norman L. Geisler, who was one of the original drafters of the "Chicago Statement," and his coauthor, William C. Roach, present a defense of the traditional understanding of inerrancy for a new generation of Christians who are being assaulted with challenges to the nature of God, truth, and language. Pastors, students, and armchair theologians will appreciate this clear, reasoned response to the current crisis.
