What does Christianity REALLY teach? 

Have you heard phrases like “people are essentially good," " the Bible was written by men, so it's not really written by God," or even different versions of "the Gospel?" There are many common misconceptions about what Christianity really teaches... that can confuse Christians and non-Christians alike! 

This self-paced workshop is based on the book, Conviction Without Compromise, by Dr. Norman Geisler and Dr. Ron Rhodes.

In this training you can tackle the core teachings that distinguish Christianity from non-Christianity. These are the teachings that must be believed for us to genuinely call ourselves believers in Christ. 

This self-paced workshop will help you understand your faith in a much deeper, clearer way. You will learn the tools to confidently carry on deeper conversations with non-Christians about these confusing viewpoints. You will also be able to explore the sometimes touchy topics of the gospel, inerrancy, orthodoxy, human depravity, Mary’s Virginity & Christ’s purity, God’s Unity & Triunity, faith & grace, Christ’s death, resurrection, ascension and return.

This training is ideal for anyone who wants to firmly establish their doctrine in the historic orthodox faith.

Dr. Norman Geisler

The late Dr. Norman Geisler is known as the premiere apologist of the 20th century. He developed a three-tiered model that integrates apologetics, philosophy, and theology, and over a more than 60-year career in ministry he mentored and discipled many of today's top Christian leaders.

Dr. Norman Geisler is the author of The 12 Points That Prove Christianity Is True and over a hundred other books that have impacted the foundations of modern Christianity. In practical terms, Dr. Geisler was the first to see the value of using a classic two-step apologetic approach, as opposed to a purely evidentiary approach, to witness to a postmodern generation.

As a prominent member of the International Council on Biblical Inerrancy, his influence was crucial in building a foundation on which the church stood through the writing of the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy. He founded the International Society of Christian Apologetics and co-founded two seminaries: Southern Evangelical Seminary and Veritas Evangelical Seminary, now called Veritas International University. In 2015, Dr. Norman Geisler and his son David co-founded Norm Geisler International Ministries, and in 2018 they launched the ministry's discipleship arm, the Norm Geisler Institute.

Dr. Norman Geisler earned a B.A. in Philosophy from Wheaton College, a Master of Theology from Wheaton Graduate School, a Th.B. from William Tyndale College and a Ph.D. in Philosophy from Loyola University.
