You Tube Theology

Saint John Henry Newman wrote in The Idea of a University that “education implies an action upon our mental nature, and the formation of a character; it is something individual and permanent, and is commonly spaoken of in connection with religion and virtue.”

But what is the university in light of the challenges posed by COVID-19? Can the university still fulfill her mission? What is the university’s goal — creating saints, forming citizens, educating the intellect, or fostering friendships — and have there been deviations from or improvements in light of this goal during the pandemic?

Continuing the dynamic discussion from our recent panel on the university in the time of COVID, join IHE Fellows Thomas Hibbs, Angela Knobel, and Brandon Vaidyanathan for a conversation delving more deeply into the goal of university education moderated by IHE Executive Director Joseph Capizzi.
