The International Society for Science and Religion (ISSR) is pleased to share a discussion with the award-winning author of the 2024 ISSR Book Prize for Science and Religion, Nicholas Spencer, for his Magisteria: The Entangled Histories of Science & Religion (2023, OneWorld Press). https://oneworld-publications.com/wor...

Funded by the Templeton World Charity Foundation, the ISSR Book Prize is intended to understand ‘religion’ broadly and seek excellence in content and communication. We seek to reward books that make a major contribution to the field, especially if they have the potential to take the field in new directions. We expect three books to be selected each year, one suitable for a general audience, one for an academic audience, and one for a professional audience. Each year there are three financial prizes of £500 for the winning authors presented to the winning authors at the American Academy of Religion’s annual meeting. 

For more information about the Book Prize and to find out how to nominate books, please visit this link: https://www.issr.org.uk/projects/issr...

Each year, we have awarded three prizes in distinct categories: Academic, General, and Professional. 

ISSR is pleased to have awarded the following authors the 2024 ISSR Book Prize on Science and Religion:   

– In the academic category – Peter N. Jordan for Naturalism in the Christian Imagination: Providence and Causality in Early Modern England. Cambridge University Press, 2022.
