Veritas Forum at Stanford: May 1–5, 2005

What is a Ver­i­tas Forum?

Ver­i­tas Forums are uni­ver­sity events that engage stu­dents and fac­ulty in dis­cus­sions about life’s hard­est ques­tions and the rel­e­vance of Jesus Christ to all of life. The forums are cre­ated by local uni­ver­sity stu­dents, pro­fes­sors, and min­is­ters while shaped and guided by the national Ver­i­tas Forum team.

What is the mis­sion of Ver­i­tas Forums?

We cre­ate forums for the explo­ration of true life. We seek to inspire the shapers of tomorrow’s cul­ture to con­nect their hard­est ques­tions with the per­son and story of Jesus Christ.
