Ergun Caner, Rick and Bubba, and Daisy Duke: How LBTS Does Apologetics
Ergun Caner was on the nationally broadcast “Rick and Bubba Show.” The name may sound a little backwoods to my urban readers, but Ergun Caner’s own web page makes a big deal about this show (link to discussion). This is touted on that link as being an example of how LU does apologetics: “As you…

New Biography for Caner
There is a new biography of Ergun Caner posted at Liberty University’s website. It is only five sentences long, but two of the five sentences in the biography are troubling.

Ergun Caner – Son of a Devout Muslim Father
Some new evidence regarding Ergun Caner’s background has come to light (link to evidence). The evidence appears to confirm the central point of my previous discussion (here) namely that Ergun Caner is a real ex-Muslim, the son of a devout Muslim father.

Responding to "Fake Ex Muslims" Site Regarding Ergun Caner
The “Fake Ex Muslims” (FxM) site has a page of “issues” that are identified with respect to Ergun Caner (link to page). I’d like to respond to a few of these “issues.” 1) Injeel means Angel? In one video that FxM has identified, Ergun Caner stumbles over the Arabic word for an evil spirit. The…

The Cost of What?
My friend Dr. White posted a link earlier today to an article by Tim Rogers (link to article). The article is titled, “The Cost of Following Christ.” One might expect, then, that the article would explain someone’s struggle in view of persecution for being a Christian.
