“To me, the Faith & Reason festival exemplifies what Patrick Henry
College is all about: committed Christians pursuing the highest level of academic scholarship.”
~ Dr. Gene Edward Veith, Provost
Each fall and spring since 2005, the Patrick Henry College campus has united around a faith and reason lecture—a day-long shared experience that involves a presentation by a faculty member or guest, lunch with the speaker, small-group discussions, and an afternoon question-and-answer session with a faculty panel. Prominent speakers explore the nexus between faith and reason, as it relates to various philosophies, vocations and disciplines.
