Comment:
Experience counts. The man co-founded the University. He is in his 80's and STILL travels the world delivering sermons. I found his sermons more enjoyable than class lectures, class lectures feel like more of a conversation where his own opinions and thoughts are shared. He has written over 50 books! I have his Prayer Bible. love it.

Comment:
Not a fan. A nice gentleman. If you do the reading, & pay attention, you'll get an A. The course was obviously delivered through a fundamentalist lens. He rants about points of view he dislikes without giving solid Scriptural/Theological support to his arguments; ill suited in a course on Theology. Also his books as text? No thank you.

Comment:
I'm at Liberty and have taken a few classes taught by Dr. Towns. I do not question his love for God or commitment to Christ. I do, however, have issue with contradictions I've caught from class to class out of his mouth. In contacting them, with the proof, I was told, he is the co-founder and what he says is what he says.

Great teacher, and funny to listen to! Sometimes he can go off track, but he has some interesting stories! Pretty easy too, as long as you do your reading.

Comment:
The worst teacher I have ever heard ever in my life. His tangents about the books he's written and we should buy, the mandatory overpriced textbook written by yours truly. I learned nothing, a waste of money and time. The test are more of a trick than an assessment, easy "A" but my gosh could there be a worse teacher out there? Don't think so

Dr. Towns is a great teacher is really a big part of the history of Fundamentalism in the 20th Century. A great role model and mentor.

Towns is awesome. You need to take him for at least one class to get the full "Liberty Experience." I have him for both New Testament Survey and Theology and I don't regret it at all. Missing class hurts your grade so attend and I definitely recommend!

Towns is an easy A. the quizzes are straight from the book, even from the lectures. He says ALOT of questionable things and goes on some rants... completely irrelevant but entertaining. To get the full Liberty experience, TAKE A CLASS WITH HIM!!

Easy class. No tests except for the final exam. Quizzes every class, but alot of them are open book. Towns is funny but sometimes the things he says are just ridiculous. If you want an A take him...if you want to learn, then do not

Dr. Towns is a lot of fun to listen to, and interesting! My husband and I took the online course, and we looked forward to his taped lectures. Very knowledgeable. The class is easy IF you read and do the study guides, which is nice. Instead of being overwhelmed with pressure and assignments, you can actually ENJOY your learning! :)

His class is very boring, everyone is on the internet the whole time. I did not learn anything all semester. His quizzes are wicked easy but the final is awful.. almost impossible to pass the final. Overall, the class is a major waste of time and only take if you need the credits

Dr. Towns is a surprisingly open-minded professor and lecturer of theology. He lets you know his opinions but clearly distinguishes between what the Bible says on the matter and what he believes. Overall, a knowledgeable and entertaining lecturer.
