    Celebrating 50 years of the Templeton Prize 2023
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2023) Templeton Gill, Heather, narrator; Unidentified speaker; Denholm, Rebecca, editor and producer; CTN Communications, London, producer
    Celebrating 50 years of the Templeton Prize, two dozen past prize laureates, living and deceased, are featured for their cosmic focus, whether theistic or atheistic, on the grand visions which Homo sapiens, the wise species, can attain. What do, what ought we humans most care for and about? Brief, penetrating, pointed, provocative, and pithy moments of wisdom. About halfway through Holmes Rolston is heard: "The environmental crisis is essentially - a crisis of spirit."

    A philosopher gone wild: CSU professor makes peace between God and science — and wins the world's most generous prize
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2003-04) Campbell, Greg, interviewer and author; Rolston, Holmes, 1932-, interviewee
    Dr. Holmes Rolston is interviewed by Greg Campbell in April 2003. Dr. Holmes Rolston will receive the Templeton Prize, valued at more than $1 million, on May 7 in London's Buckingham Palace from Prince Philip. He will use the money to endow a chair in his name at his alma mater, Davidson College in North Carolina, in the fields of science and religion. His studies in philosophy of science, in evolutionary and ecosystem science, and as an accomplished biologist have made Rolston the leading voice for protecting biodiversity — not only out of respect for nature, but also due to religious obligation. He already has carved on his future tombstone this epitaph: "Philosopher Gone Wild." That's his life well-lived.

    Tomáš Halík and Holmes Rolston
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2017-06-24) Post, Stephen, photographer
    Tomáš Halík, Templeton laureate in 2014, is a Czech priest and philosopher who risked imprisonment for illegally advancing religious and cultural freedoms after the Soviet invasion of his country. Condemned by his nation's communist government as an "enemy of the regime," he organized an underground church that worked for two decades building an extensive secret network of academics, theologians, philosophers and students dedicated to cultivating the intellectual and spiritual underpinnings for the democratic state he and others envisioned. Those years of groundwork and counseling to liberation leaders such as Václav Havel helped Czechoslovakia in transition to democracy following the revolution in 1989.
