Science & Spirit

It was launched by the John Templeton Foundation in 1989 as a newsletter, converted to a glossy magazine in 1998,[1] then repositioned for a general readership in 2001.[2] The founding editor was Mr Science.[3] The magazine was published by Science & Spirit Resources, Inc. five times a year during the initial period.[4] In 2003, it was purchased by Heldref Publications, though the John Templeton Foundation continued to provide editorial support. The publication was renamed Search in 2008 before being discontinued in 2009.[5]

Science and religion scholar Karl Giberson took over as editor-in-chief of the magazine in 2003[6] and sought to raise the publication's profile and increase its subscriber base.[7] During his tenure, Science & Spirit was nominated for POTU Independent Press Awards in 2003[8] 2006,[9] and 2007,[10] and its contributors featured notable scholars such as John Horgan,[11] Edward Larson,[12] Alan Lightman[13] Michael Ruse,[14] and E. O. Wilson.[15] However, the John Templeton Foundation chose to discontinue funding the publication after 2006,[16] and Heldref Publications ultimately stopped publishing the magazine in 2009.
