John Polkinghorne is the winner of the 2002 Templeton Prize for Progress Toward Research or Discoveries about Spiritual Realities.

John Polkinghorne brings unique qualifications to his exploration of the possibilities of believing in God in an age of science: he is internationally known as a theoretical physicist and as a theologian. In this thought-provoking book, Polkinghorne focuses on the collegiality between science and theology, contending that the inquiries of these "intellectual cousins" are parallel.
