The Veritas Forum

At the Veritas Forum, we believe we were made to seek truth and be changed by it. We are a community of students, faculty, campus ministers, and more, who are pursuing a vision of the university that seeks and stewards truth and invites people of all backgrounds to explore the ideas that shape our lives. Since 1992, we’ve shared lectures and conversations with a firm belief that generous dialogue is essential for universities and the Christian faith alike. In this podcast, we're pulling from our archives of recorded events.

    Hey Siri, How Do I Find Myself? A Conversation on Spirituality & Technology | Haidt & Crouch

    What's the Point of Pluralism? | Tim Keller

    It’s election season in America, and that brings a lot of questions about how we interact in the public square. How do we disagree respectfully across our differences?

Tim lays out a brief history of pluralism in America, four perspectives on building a pluralistic society, and what his Christian faith can offer to the conversation.   This forum was held at New York University in 2017 and originally titled “The Closing of the Modern Mind.” It’s one of our most popular forums, with over 300,000 views on YouTube.
