Templeton Press

Templeton Press, an independent press founded in 1997 by pioneering investor Sir John Templeton, joins Rutgers University Press’s publishing consortium. Templeton Press will cease signing new books and all books from the Press’s active catalog will be distributed by Rutgers University Press, including new and revised editions.


Templeton Press publishes nonfiction books by data-driven researchers working on topics that Sir John Templeton considered of ultimate concern to human flourishing. These include the preservation of economic and political freedom, the teaching of virtue and character development, the integration of spirituality and health, and the undying scientific quest to investigate the nature of reality. As a catalyst for broadminded cultural discussion, Templeton Press sought multiple perspectives and invited reflection on conventional wisdom, while maintaining a constant attitude of respect and dignity for people everywhere.
