Theologian Norman Geisler dies at age 86

Theologian and Christian apologist Norman Geisler, the author of dozens of books and the co­founder of two seminaries, has died at age 86. His family an­nounced his death on July 1 on his website.

In April, Southern Evangelical Seminary near Charlotte, North Caro­lina, announced Geisler was retiring from his teaching duties “due to health reasons.” Geisler cofounded that seminary in 1992.

In a tribute in the Christian Post, SES president Richard Land said Geisler “has been the ‘go to’ authority for more than two generations of evangelical seminary students who were looking for a bold, erudite, and uncompromisingly faithful defense of the inerrant, infallible Word of God and the historical doctrines of the Christian faith.”
