About Veritas Forums

Veritas Forum

Where does morality come from? Isn't science rapidly approaching a complete explanation of nature? Do you ever have doubts about your worldview? Where can I find meaning and fulfillment?

College students around the world are asking themselves and their friends these questions, but there is often no real place to explore these questions alongside brilliant faculty and leading thinkers. 

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.

Veritas Forums are created and hosted by campus student organizations, connected to a network of 70 campuses nationwide, and supported by the national Veritas Forum team.

Is Tolerance Intolerant?

Pursuing the Climate of Acceptance and Inclusion

Ravi Zacharias - renowned international speaker and Christian philosopher

Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at 7:30 PM
Royce Hall


We encounter an incredible diversity of cultures, lifestyles, and faiths. Unfortunately our conflicting identities and beliefs often exclude others. Is there truth to real acceptance and inclusion?

We are anticipating a full house at Royce Hall for Ravi Zacharias' presentation!  We want to give UCLA students the first opportunity to see Ravi Zacharias, so UCLA students will be given priority seating.

 Extended Q&A following the dialogue with Dr. Zacharias and Michael Ramsden, Lecturer in Christian Apologetics at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford and Joint Director of the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics. Reception with refreshments served.

Priority Seating: Free tickets for UCLA BruinCard holders. Limit 2 per person. Available at UCLA Central Ticket Office starting Monday, Jan. 7. General Admission: No ticket required. Overflow seating in Ackerman Grand Ballroom. *Doors open at 7:00 PM. Doors close at 7:30 PM.

History at UCLA

UCLA Suffering Right

In 2012, The Veritas Forum at UCLA asked, "Does God Care?" Why is there suffering? How do we deal with death? Is God relevant to how we deal with suffering? Dr. Michael Lill of UCLA presents an agnostic perspective and Dr. Raymond Barfield of Duke University offers the Christian perspective. 

John Lennox Right

In 2011, The Veritas Forum at UCLA hosted John Lennox on "Christianity & The Tooth Fairy: A Law Professor Questions an Oxford Mathematician." Does belief in Jesus Christ require a suspension of logic? UCLA's Daniel Lowenstein interviewed John Lennox with honest questions about Christianity and the grounds for faith.
