In the previous post, we addressed a first group of “misspeaks” identified by Dr. Geisler (link to post).

Responding to Norman Geisler’s Defense of Ergun Caner – Part 1
As promised in a previous post (link) this post begins to address Dr. Geisler’s defense of Dr. Caner. Dr. Geisler says “no one has proven an evil moral intent in any of them” referring, apparently, to “some factual misstatements” for which “Dr. Caner has admitted to and apologized … .” Dr. Geisler goes on to…

Geisler Digs Yet Deeper!
Rather than apologizing for claiming that Dr. Ergun Caner’s critics were engaging in libel and slander, Dr. Norman Geisler has decided to make an attempt to defend Dr. Ergun Caner (link to attempted defense).

Dr. Norman Geisler Digs Himself a Deeper Hole

Steve Hays on Liberty’s Schedule of Discipline

Dr. Ergun Caner – Liberty Investigation Complete
Liberty University has apparently released the result of its investigation: all that they are willing to affirm about his background is that he was a Muslim and that he converted as a teenager, something virtually all of Dr. Caner’s critics have been willing to acknowledge. Also, while apparently they are not going to keep him…

Dr. Ergun Caner’s Thoughts on Dearborn, Michigan
Dr. Ergun Caner (who is apparently not going to continue as dean at Liberty) is apparently not talking to the media much these days, so he has not (to my knowledge) commented on the recent arrest of Christian evangelists in Dearborn, Michigan. However, in response to an article from July of last year, Dr. Caner…

"Born In Istanbul, Turkey" in Context
A kind reader provided me with a link to the full context for the “born in Istanbul, Turkey” clip (link to location for context).
