Ian G. Barbour was a physicist, theologian, author, and winner of the 1999 <!g>Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion. He was also the Winifred and Atherton Bean Professor Emeritus of Science, Technology and Society at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. As a well-known pioneer in the growing field of Science and Religion, Dr. Barbour established his reputation as an interdisciplinary scholar by way of his influential book, <!g>Issues In Science And Religion, first published in 1965. He authored many additional books and articles. For example, his book Myths, Models And Paradigms has served as a useful tool for those persons who wish to study the methodologies and approaches of scientists and scholars of religion. As a follow-up to delivering his Gifford Lectures (1989-91), Dr. Barbour also published <!g>Religion In An Age Of Science and Ethics In An Age Of Technology. In recent years, his book entitled <!g>Religion And Science: Historical And Contemporary Issues has often been used as a course textbook.
