best teacher ever. he was hilarious and has an awesome passion for what he teaches
By Far one of the most passionate professors I've ever had in my college career. He made Church History fun and exciting to learn about. The man is by far one of the funniest and yet sincere professors LU has ever had. Rock on Caner!
Luv this man a whole lot, for real, but his class is not an easy A, he grades on the 7 point curve, but much more fun class than other professors
Caner is the most enthusiastic prof ever, and he wants everyone to get an A. Not the easiest (7-point scale), but a wonderful class.
He is an amazing professor! He makes theology easy to udnerstand!
AMAZING.BOLD.UNASHAMED!!!
doesnt teach... just makes stuff up as he goes
Great class if he would show up
He is an awesome teacher!!! I am now understanding theology
I think you are a total STUD and you're wife is a very lucky woman! You're passion for Christ and teaching inspires me and I love your boldness to speak out and be heard (even if your life is a stake) Thanks for all you do and for being an amazing Man of God!!
Hilarious guy, but spends a little too much time just talking. I don't learn all that much, but it's a fun class (when he shows up). Oh, but whoever said he isn't hot is way off. He's a stud. Good thing both he and his students are Christians with morals, otherwise his wife would need to worry. ;)
If he'd show up on time, it would be better... we're always left wondering if he's coming. But he's worth the wait. ;-)
my best prof ever - I feel like a little kid listening to a story when he teaches us church history
He's a STUD!- Every man's man!
This man is a God-send. We need more professors like him. The world needs more people like him. We all can learn from him. By the way, if you think he is ignorant in the way he teaches, then my friend you are the one who is ignorant and you are the one who wil get walked all over as a Christian
Some of you guys are so ignorant it's sad... People love Caner just because he's funny and then blindly believe everything he says... he doesnt really say anything... all he does is insult which is a sign of stupidity and ignorance
If you can judge a prof's teaching ability by his ability to bash John Piper, then Caner's dynamite.
Great guy, really smart, terrible professor- canceles class almost half the time and tells stories the whole time he does come. You will get lots of laughs but you won't learn anything. His knowledge is very extensive, but he doesn't teach it.
Caner rocks...thats all I have to say! I love the "in your face" attitude that someone else criticized, and I've learned soo much from taking him. Ok, yeah, and hes hot, too!
Very good teacher.. Can't wait to take him for 202. He is really interesting!
This Dude Rocks!
he is an awsome teacher. creative, controversial, outspoken, funny, loved the mullet picture he showed in class of himself, showed a willingness to embarrass himself. love the fact that he is willing to talk to students about almost anything, when he has the time. he is very down-to-earth.
You either get him or you don't. He is hysterically honest. I love that. I've come across others who can't stand him- too bad for them. He's defintely my favorite teacher. The course work is easy. Going to class is time well spent. His boldness gives me confidence to be a bolder Christian.
He is awesome and I love everything about him. If you hate theology, then take his class. The entires class average was probably a "B". He is definitely one of our better profs at LU. CANER>>>YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!
he is the best teaccher on campus
good teacher
Dr. Caner makes theology easy. Just attend class and you will do fine. He makes the tests easy.
Best teacher I have ever had in my life.
caner is freaking awesome. he is funny and his tests are ridiculously easy. its hard to get into his classes though, the seats get grabbed up in nothing flat. if you can get in, though, take caner. :D
He is simply amazing
dr. caner has to be one of the top profs at this school. we could stand to have a few more here!! :)
He is a great teacher. Interesting and easy. What more can you ask for? He cancels class often because he has to go out of town...it's kinda nice.
This man reminded me that the Bible is supposed to be exciting. It is the Good News! We should not only be interested in exploring what we really believe in, but we should be excited for the opportunity to share that understanding with others!
As you see I have taken 3 of his classes. He makse school enjoyable and interesting. He is also truthful when he says you will not offend him most professors are not.
Funny when he comes to class and complains that he doesn't get enough hot votes from this site.
Caner's the man. Any refutation of this fact will be dealt with in the most brutal barbaric fashion possible. . . . and if you're too dumb to understand his classes or what i just said....read a book.
THE MAN
AWESOME. If he was single I would of tryed for that man. Great mind.
who doesn't love caner.
Um so he is very blunt...which makes him stinkin hilarious but at the same time hits you with the truth!!
Wow! Amazing prof! Take him if you can! You'll get an A, not because it's an easy class, but because you actually pay attention to the professor speaking!
Absolutely loved the class. If I had the option, I'd take Dr. Caner for every class. He's an incredible speaker & has a way of keeping your attention even if the material is boring. He is able to mix the secular culture within the Liberty "bubble". He's very blunt & honest, & will tell you how it is whether you like it or not. Definitely take at least one class w/ him before you graduate.
Heck yes Caner is hot!
Ergun is the Freakin Man!!!!!!!!
He is very passionate, but not very clear. I loved just sitting in his class but when it came to test time I had no idea what to study, very confusing notes!
He's the best. You don't get much better than this:)
he needs to learn when to shut up. and should retire
what else can be said, if you ever had him, then you know. no one better, hands down, mullet stories and all
I was excited at first to take his class but he didnt TEACH anything. I listened to cool stories, but that was it.
I haven't had him for any classes yet but he is an amazing speaker! He knows his stuff! He is pretty blunt, but he speaks the truth! He is so funny and I love him to death! Rock on Caner!
Not a fan of history but he made it come alive. Very good at relating it to modern day things and simplifying it. I learned a lot and enjoyed it a great deal. A thorougly interesting class, and not challeging at all. Well, the 15 p. paper I wasn't a fan of, but its worth it. Great class.
amazing man...he DEFINITELY teaches and definitely helps to relate the given material to the average student. worth taking as much as possible...no ifs or buts!

this is why i dont like baptist. if you dont feel the the same as him. you are wrong.
CANER IS AMAZING! For this required classes, he is really easy on students (I don't know about upper level classes), but he is so informative and an awesome man of God. I'm not Baptist either, but he makes really good points that are very well backed up with research and evidence and should be taken into consideration. he's just really cool too.
Caner is, without a doubt, one of the greatest things that Liberty hasgoing for it right now. This man can take the complicated and make it simple, and not only simple, but enjoyable. His pace is perfectly tempered. His words are never wasted. He is entertaining, engaging, and memorable. Every Liberty student should take him.
This class was good except he told us the final was going to be way easier then it ended up being!
Dr. Caner is amazing! Always funny... although half the time class is canceled. Easy quizzes help to boost your grade. Studying for this class is easy since he tells you what will be on the exams. Just do your reading and study for maybe an hour for exams and you'll be fine. Take him if you get the chance.
Quiz each class, mid term and final, and attendance was like 25% of your grade. Easy A, but the material you walk away with is invaluable. It's the same Caner that's up at the podium, what you see is what you get. Take him.
Took this last semester, but I'm in 201 right now with Caner also. Quizzes and tests are straight forward and you know what's on it. He applies real life situations and things you can relate to in his lectures. He wants the class to be easy and it is! Take him!!!
Great speaker, can and will feed you complete BS but will keep your attation doing it. As long as you agree with him your good, don't agree and your wrong. Also just know that he is the center of the universe and don't cross him
best teacher i ever had
Dr. Caner is amazing! He is completely and totally easy. His tests are all multiple choce and the answers are obvious. My midterm yesterday...one of the answer choices for a question was La La from Teletubbies. He's hilarious as well as intelligent...PERFECT PROF!!!
He's REALLY easy..but he's interesting too. I wouldn't say I learned too much, but at least it guarantees you a good grade! The great thing is that he really loves what he's teaching, and that makes it pretty interesting.
of course funny, VERY good teacher, makes things very interesting
He is THE MAN!!!!! You'll get an "A" unless u are a complete idiot!!! You'll learn a lot, but he also gives a lot of info at once. Take notes! I personally love him. :-)
He is very intelligent and thought provoking. My only problem with him is that he often attacks (ad hominem) the theological positions he disagrees with. I'm not asking for a love fest but it would be nice for the body of Christ to stop attacking itself and instead start healing and dealing with hypocrisy. MuhahahahA!
I love this Turkish Redneck! Though he is funny and knowledgeable, sometimes I just wished he would use more doctrine and scriptures in his sermons and classes...
He's Ergun Caner...
Easiest class, ever. There is weekly assigned reading, and attendance is a reading quiz, but he makes the answers quite clear. Don't take him if you actually want to learn theology, most of the class is spent on story time.
He's like a muslim David Hasselhoff! Not only that, but he's also really good at getting his points across and helping you to learn the material.
This class is a joke academically, you won't be challenged at all, but you will learn some very interesting things, and be prepared to discuss the controversial topics of Christianity. He's guaranteed to cancel class at least 3 times during the semester and you get out early a fair amount of times. He's a blast to take, and I'm glad i did.
The class is among the easiest I have ever had. He cancels class all the time! It may not be academic, but it is easy!
It is a real shame he isn't reformed, but great class.
Easy class. Just show up and take the quizzes. He gives you everything you need for the tests. Naturally, he is hysterical when telling stories. I enjoyed myself, considering it was a 3 hour class.
Extremely easy class. Last year, Caner was my favorite person at Liberty by far. However, I feel like he's gotten so "I don't care about what anybody thinks" that he's been proud and disrespectful when it comes to certain things. This is reflected in his teaching. Wonderful man who has great insight, but should probably try practicing humility.
Everyone needs to speak with him personally to understand that he is a great guy. He is very narrow minded, however. He focuses too much on calvinists, as though they are begging for his attention. I would hope he lifts Jesus higher than doctrine. I do remember one class I had that he gave a phenomenal lecture.
Just as I am guilty myself, Ergun should really practice more humility when it comes to learning. There could be other possibilities with theology and church history that he should be sensitive to.
THEO 201 is on Worldviews, specifically, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism. Not a hard class. The DLP quizzes are from the book and lectures, so pay ATTENTION. Also, the paper is a 5 paper, and is not difficult.
Dr. C is an excellent professor! Very "cool" guy as well.
The most gracious teacher on the face of the universe he knows that we all have our calling and one a theo class can not determine future.Dr Caner is WONDERFUL considerate teacher.He is out of the ordinary.unbelievable he will not be teaching next term
Looks like this is one of the few reviews of his graduate class. He has an outstanding presentation style but grads should be wary about taking his DLP class. His notes and lecture emphases were totally out of synch with what was tested over. May be a lecturing lion to undergrads but needs some work on the administrative end.
VERY self-righteous and self-promoting, extremely narrow-minded, with notes that are impossible to decipher. I don't recommend him.
Seriously, the man! Great teacher, great knowledge.
You will either love him or hate him. My feelings ran more towards the latter. As far as the material goes, he goes pretty much straight by the book (which he wrote) and his lectures were just more of his opinions rather than fact. The thing that bothered me most was his holier-than-thou attitude. The man could learn a little humility.
While many love him, I do not!I feel like he has an cocky attitude and from the first day of the class I knew I was going to dread it! The quizzes are easy and the GA's are really nice and caring, but as for him, I didnt really care for him. I didn't like his jokes and he dosen't care how he makes others feel. I would not recommend him!
This class is great. Really makes you want to act on what you are learning.
Man this guy was amazing! He is not afraid to speak his mind, and he is open for you to debate him. But seriously know your material before you do debate him! One guy tried it, and he got creamed! Caner is someone you will either hate or love. He is sarcastic, and funny! I learned so much from him. He knows me by name, and he prays for my family!
Okay professor when on topic.
Excellent professor. Very easy to understand, and knows his stuff. Came away wanting to know more!
If you want an easy A this class is for you. If you want to learn something look elsewhere. I had a three hour section that never went over an hour. Dr. Caner is very smart, but he refused to actually teach this class.
I feel like this guy is such a great speaker, but he spent half of the course telling stories that i later found out were untrue and embellished. He should have been fired when the school found out he was hyping his past. Instead administrators glossed over deceit as white lies.
Dr. Caner, is a man of God and doing the Lords work. If you take his class beprepared to have your toes stepped on. And to be challenged as to what you are doing with your life and what do you stand for?
