Scripture condemns various forms of sexual behavior-but not all. Same-Sex in Scripture identifies in Mt. 19:12 an acknowledgement by Christ of the person born without an impulse towards the opposite sex, and reasons that inasmuch as all creation is good (1 Gen. 31, 1Tim. 4:4) this individual in partnership with someone of the same sex, in following Christ''s commands of love, has moral status in the Kingdom of Heaven. Geis argues the insufficiency of Nature as a criterion for sexual behavior given the many exceptions from which the criterion when applied to human sexuality suffers. Only Christ''s unexceptioned commandment of love has the binding force salvific law requires. Same-sex behavior can comport with this law, just as heterosexual behavior, as is clear from the role Mt. 5:28 gives the heart in sexuality. It is a position that achieves the middle between the extremes of this contentious debate.

Geis' work addresses questions about gratuitous claims of empiricism in Hume, unfounded assumptions in Kant, presumptions of science, and improbabilities identified in Darwinism. Geis argues that evil, used as a means to betterment of oneself and the world, takes on the role commensurate with the doctrine of an omnibenevolent deity.

Prophecy, the key to evidence of the Divine in human existence, is best demonstrated with a dating nearest to the time of the prophesied event. Divinity of a Birth argues lexically for evidence of a Semitic substrate in much of the New Testament Gospels, sharpening their status as Divinely inspired.

The Christ From Death Arisen demonstrates the missteps in reasoning that characterize objections to the Christian doctrine of Resurrection-Hume's fallacies, a variety of post-Renaissance exegesis, and outright assumptions without foundation. A rigorous methodological critique moves step-by-step and invites the reader to question every argument raised against the claim "He has risen." Author Robert Geis asserts that the nature of evidence, its epistemological and metaphysical groundings, gives the Resurrection investigator heightened clarity with which to study Christianity's central tenet. The Christ From Death Arisen is a valuable contribution to Resurrection scholarship that will surely deepen the area of study.

Life of Christ bridges the gap between commentaries and devotional accounts of Christ's ministry. Applying the requisite analytical tools, it addresses the question, is His life worth studying?

This book argues against neurophilosophy's virtual equation of consciousness and the world. Part I identifies scientific grounds for a real world outside consciousness and self-refutational flaws in quantum physics; Part II explores why consciousness cannot be electrical in origin, and how partibility and subjectivity evince reasons for accepting immortal consciousness.

Through analysis of Scripture, this book argues that the Vatican I proclamation on papal infallibility is a man-made declaration. The Roman rite claim for a Divinely ordained Vicariate of authoritative pronouncements emerges as an impediment to Christian unity.
