Science & Spirit

Science & Spirit is a discontinued American bimonthly magazine that covered scientific stories with an eye toward their spiritual implications. 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] 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.^[3]

Science & religion scholar Karl Giberson took over as editor-in-chief of the magazine in 2003^[4] and sought to raise the publication's profile and increase its subscriber base.^[5] During his tenure, Science & Spirit was nominated for Utne Independent Press Awards in 2003^[6] 2006,^[7] and 2007,^[8] and its contributors featured notable scholars such as John Horgan,^[9] Edward Larson,^[10] Alan Lightman^[11] Michael Ruse,^[12] and E. O. Wilson.^[13] However, the John Templeton Foundation chose to discontinue funding the publication after 2006,^[14] and Heldref Publications ultimately stopped publishing the magazine in 2009.
