Holmes Rolston, III, a self-described "tree-hugger" and a pioneer in the burgeoning academic field, is this year's winner of the Templeton Prize, perhaps the most prestigious award in the field of religion. Drawing on a religious tradition for a commitment to social justice, he also has been a distinctive voice in upholding the intrinsic value of nature itself, with humans part of creation but not at its center.
