How do we know the the New Testament books are authentic? What are the books all about? Is there a unity or theme to the New Testament? And what about all those "problem verses" in the New Testament?

"One of the things I've been convinced of more and more as time has passed on, is the inerrancy of scripture. There aren't a lot of fundamentals of the faith, but this is one of the fundamental teachings. The Bible is the word of God and if God cannot err, and the Bible is the word of God, then the Bible cannot err. If you say the Bible has an error in it, either you have to deny the statement that God cannot err and say God can err, or you have to deny that the Bible is the word of God." - Dr. Norman Geisler, Norm Geisler: Not Qualified the movie

This self-paced workshop is based on the book, A Popular Survey of the New Testament, by Dr. Norman Geisler.

In this workshop you can examine the criticisms of the New Testament book by book, including what may seem like "contradictions" in the passages. 

Dig deeper into understanding how the author, the time in which the book was written, the audience to whom the book was written, and other "critical information" gives us a historical context for this Testament. 

Take this a step further and explore how and why each book of the New Testament has been criticized, and the response we can give to skeptics in our circles of influence. 

After finishing this workshop, you will have a much better understanding of this fundamental foundation of your faith!

"If the fundamental of the fundamentals isn't fundamental, what's fundamental? Fundamentally nothing!" - Dr. Norman Geisler

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.
