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.

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.
