Duane Litfin, president of Wheaton College, said that Kantzer was a beloved professor while at Wheaton but his legacy will live on beyond institutional walls. "He and a handful of others theologically anchored the evangelical movement for the last half of the 20th century," Litfin said. "When I think of Ken Kantzer, I think of speaking the truth in love. We will miss having that voice."
