Abstract
ABSTRACT John Templeton's philanthropic organisations provide funding for research at the frontiers of the natural and human sciences. That funding is consistent with Templeton's longstanding personal interest in science. This article examines why Templeton, a world-renowned investor, was so interested in science. Templeton's writings indicate that science mattered primarily because of its profound religious and theological potential. By promoting a variety of ideas about how science might interact with and be beneficial to religion, Templeton sought to catalyse interest in and appreciation for science's religious potential, rather than to defend a specific view about how that potential should be understood.
