Norman L. Geisler (1932–) is a Christian apologist, author, and the co-founder of Southern Evangelical Seminary.[1] He describes himself as a "moderate Calvinist."[2] He received his Ph.D. in philosophy from Loyola University.[3]

Geisler takes issue with many of the concepts of traditional Calvinism. Regarding limited atonement he believes that the atonement is limited only in result.[4] Geisler has published several books.[3]

Geisler was also heavily involved in the drafting of the fundamentalist Chicago Statements,[5] writing extensive commentary on them; quite an ironic task, considering that the statements were intended to speak to the "clarity of Scripture."
