We recently learned something new from our friends over at The Bible Project: âWhen more people attend the YouTube premiere of a video, YouTube recommends it to more people. Every person who attends the premiere results in 1,000 more people seeing the video!â
Youâre invited to the live premiere of our latest forum, âHappier Doctor â Healthier Patient?â on Tuesday, March 5, at 7pm ET/4pm PT.
We'd love you to join!

"The idea of respect for rights is rooted in the idea that each person is like their creator: a center of origination of value and meaning."
In 2011, philosopher John Haldane (Baylor) and journalist Christopher Hitchens took the stage at Oxford University to discuss the role of religion in the public sphere, the basis for human rights, and how to find common ground in a pluralistic society.

"The Bible says you have something called a soul, which is more than the sum of your parts. If that identity is not so well, it doesn't even matter what else is on your resume."
In our most recent Short, Charles Lee (Stanford) explains why meaning must be found outside of our accomplishments, since our resumes do not reveal our true identities.

"What is being offered in Christianity is not merely a motivation for a moral imperative. It is a vastly bigger thing. It is the enjoyment [of Creation]." - John Lennox
In this Veritas Forum from 2016, John Lennox (Oxford) and Mark Boslough (University of New Mexico) discuss the question, "Does the world matter to God?" Join both speakers as they explore topics such as religious ethics, environmental action, and the problem of evil.

"It is not a Darwinian advantage to be merciful to the poor, love your enemies, and also to create beauty. We need to recognize those two elements usher in the New in a way that Jesus accentuated: âBlessed are the poor.â Somehow, the calculation of the kingdom is upside down from the reality of how we view our success model."
In our newest YouTube Short, artist Mako Fujimura explores how seeking mercy and beauty subverts the secular view of success and power. Check it out here: youtube.com/shorts/v_shXuCgsAI

Founded in 1992, The Veritas Forum invites students and faculty to bring their whole selves to wrestle with lifeâs most confounding ideas and be changed by them.
Motivated by the historic Christian faith that seeks to love God and neighbor, we offer robust programs and events that encourage students and faculty from universities across the globe to engage their backgrounds, beliefs, and passions in a diverse community of explorationâone that puts the Christian faith in dialogue with other beliefs and invites participants from all backgrounds to seek truth together. Because we believe that an openness to discoveryâand a posture of humilityâare foundational to both the Christian story and a flourishing university.
