Systematic Theology: In One Volume

With a brilliant mind and a Christ-intoxicated heart, Norm Geisler devoted his life to understanding the God who revealed himself indirectly in the natural order, powerfully in human history, propositionally in the God-breathed Scriptures, personally through the incarnated Word, and spiritually through his Holy Spirit. This book is Norm’s magnum opus and the fruit of his seven-decade long quest to know God and make him known. It was refined over six decades of teaching at some of the finest evangelical seminaries and colleges in the United States. This 1,664-page systematic theology is divided into nine a unique introduction that explains the preconditions of theology, a rigorous bibliology, theology proper, creation, humanity and sin, salvation, ecclesiology, eschatology, and various appendices. At the risk of oversimplification, the perspective from which the book is written is generally Thomistic, mild-Augustinian, mild-Calvinist, baptistic, premillennial, dispensational, and non-denominational. Norm was transparent about the fact that his theology being influenced significantly by Thomas Aquinas, Augustine of Hippo, John Calvin, Francis Turretin, Charles Hodge, C.S. Lewis, Erich Sauer, and countless others. Standing on the shoulder of giants allowed him to see much further, he insisted. But he also disagreed with them all at various points and proceed to construct his own unique system of theology that was remarkably—but not radically—original. Other than a few minor typos being fixed, the contents of this 2021 one-volume edition are the same as the original one-volume edition by Bethany House in 2011. No new content was added. The one-volume editions are a slightly-abridged amalgamation of Norm’s earlier (2002-2005) four-volume set of Systematic Theology.
