The Veritas Forum began at Harvard in 1992 and has spread to over 75 colleges and universities throughout the country. The forum is designed to engage the university in the truth claims of Jesus Christ.
Mary Poplin, Hugh Ross, Fuz Rana, and H. "Fritz" Schafer III will headline our next Veritas Forum at UCSB, February 19-29, 2008. Other regional Veritas Forums may be found at www.veritas.org.
"So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. (Jesus in Matthew 6:31-34)

Quotes from prominent scientists and philosophers point to the creation of the universe including the diversity and disparity of life on Earth.
Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to probe the big questions of life. Where did you come from? Why are you here? How did it all begin? Where are we going?
TOP TEN OBJECTIONS
TO CHRISTIANITY
Best-selling author Nancy Pearcey is editor-at-large. Her most recent book is TOTAL TRUTH: Liberating Christianity from Its Cultural Captivity. She is also the Francis A. Schaeffer Scholar at the World Journalism Institute.
There is much to explore in the The Pearcey Report. A few highlights:
* News: The News section connects readers with breaking stories of the day from around the world -- in politics, international affairs, the arts, science, health, books, film, people, the odd tidbit, and more.
* Comment: The Comment section features insight and opinion from a variety of observers and news outlets.
* Articles: The Articles section offers a strategic and humane analysis of contemporary life, thought, and action. Expect to encounter the work of seminal Judeo-Christian worldview thinkers such as Francis Schaeffer, C.S. Lewis, Udo Middelmann, Os Guinness, and Nancy Pearcey.
* Information: The information component opens the door to the wider world of U.S. and international media -- and to a life beyond the crisis of the moment. Thus, in addition to websites for columnists, think tanks, and activist groups, also available are resources for further study, travel, world cities, and more.

"The chief purpose of life, for any one of us, is to increase according to our capacity our knowledge of God by all the means we have, and to be moved by it to praise and thanks." - J.R.R. Tolkien
