By the Mouth of Two Witnesses – Presuppositional vs. Evidential Apologetics
Describing her experience in Dr. Caner’s Theology 201 class, Klo22 writes that they learned: In addition, there are two approaches to apologetics. The first is evidential which represents the concept that Jesus died for the whole world. This is what I believe. The other approach is presuppositionalism which exemplifies the concept that Jesus died only…

Sad Ergun Caner Footnote
One of Caner’s students today posted something suggested that Dr. Caner provided a 7 minute explanation of his innocence, which she nevertheless is not willing to make public, in the course of her course that is apparently on apologetics. I thought I’d check to see if the lecture is on-line. It does not appear that…

Falwell on Ergun Caner
I recently discovered a February 12, 2005, article in World Net Daily by Jerry Falwell (link to article). There are a few interesting things to note from the article. Falwell makes the same “an ulema” mistake we’ve seen elsewhere: On Feb. 4, to the surprise of thousands of Liberty University students, I arose in a…

"Intellectual Pit Bull of the evangelical world"
One of the claims that formerly appeared on Dr. Caner’s website was as follows: He has been called the “Intellectual Pit Bull of the evangelical world” by the national media.

"Second Wife" vs. "Many Wives" or "Other Wives"
Unveiling Islam, page 19, relating to the Caner brothers joining their father at his deathbed states: “His second wife had convinced him to see us, and we flew in from all over the country, hoping.” Compare that to the “many wives” or “other wives” claims that we’ve documented in Ergun Caner’s speeches (here), (here), (here),…

When Was Emir Caner Disowned?
Listening to Ergun and Emir Caner talking about their reconciliation with their father on his deathbed, I noticed an odd comment from Emir Caner. He indicated that it had been 17 years since Ergun Caner had seen his father, but that it had been “a decade for me” (link to clip). That 7 year difference…

Emir Caner’s Odd Description of the Kaaba
Listening to Ergun and Emir talking about Islam, I came across a very odd description of the Kaaba. In the clip, Emir calls it a 30 foot by 50 foot stone (link to clip). The kaaba is a building, made of granite and usually covered in black cloth. It is made from stone, but not…

"Debated … Over Sixty Times" Claim Still Up At Liberty.edu
Although Liberty University has altered the bio page for Ergun Caner to remove the claim that “For the past twenty years, he has debated leaders in twelve major world religions, including Muslims, Buddhists, Taoists, Bahai, Mormons … ” there are still several places where the claim that Caner “has debated Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, and Baha’I…

Dr. James White on Iron Sharpens Iron
Dr. White was interviewed earlier today on Iron Sharpens Iron (link to mp3) The show airs on a Spanish-language station, so there is some Spanish-language material before the actual show starts. The topic was the Caner scandal. The show actually starts about 2 minutes into the mp3. Among the folks calling in was Wade Burleson,…

Ergun Caner’s Testimony – 28 Minute Video
Perhaps my readers are tired of clicking on mp3s. The video at the following link is 28 minutes long (link). Watch and see if you can spot where he: Claims to have lived in majority Muslim countries. Claims to have worn “a keffiyeh.” Talks about “not an imam, not the mullah, not the mulima,” although…
