Who and what is God? Is God wrath and jealousy, or love and mercy? Is he both? How?

What we believe about God impacts every commitment, every value, and everything we think about reality.

"The most important thing about you is what you think of God. Why is that? It's because ideas have consequences. And God is our biggest idea. And therefore the idea of God has the biggest consequence." - Dr. Norman Geisler, audio recording, "The Importance of Knowing the Attributes of God"

This self-paced workshop is based on the simplified introductory book, The Doctrine of God, by Dr. Norman Geisler and Doug Potter. For a deeper, more extensive guide to this material, you can follow along with the Systematic Theology by Dr. Norman Geisler.

God is beyond our comprehension, but he has also revealed himself through his word and through his world. This self-paced workshop will help you dig deeper into understanding the many classical attributes of our God.

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.
