Sir John Polkinghorne
Sir John Polkinghorne is a former British particle physicist who became an Anglican priest and theologian. He was a professor of Mathematical Physics at Cambridge University and elected to the Royal Society in 1974. As a physicist he played a part in the discovery of the quark and development of the "Standard Model" in particle physics. Since leaving physics for theology, Polkinghorne has become one of the most important scholars looking at the relationship between science and religion. His 1993-1994 Gifford Lectures were published as The Faith of a Physicist and he won the Templeton Prize in 2002. He was knighted in 1997.
