Since 1992, The Veritas Forum has invited students and faculty to explore life’s big questions and consider the plausibility of Christian belief. The questions being asked at their upcoming forums – ranging from technology to mental wellbeing to the intersection of science and faith – are robust and honest, providing opportunities for thoughtful discourse.
Although I won’t be able to attend any of the upcoming Veritas Forums, I think the topics they will be discussing are fascinating. What do you think?
