Biography

Pete Jordan is a historian focusing on religious worldviews, particularly in the context of Christianity from the early modern period to the present. His research seeks to understand how these religious and theological ideas inform and interact with the natural sciences and political economy, providing frameworks to comprehend contemporary concerns. One of his significant works, 'Naturalism and the Christian Imagination: Providence and Causality in Early Modern England' published by Cambridge University Press in 2022, examines how early modern Christian intellectuals utilized natural causality and naturalistic explanations in their doctrines of providence. This book has also led him to serve as an external adviser for the Templeton World Charity Foundation, exploring the religious, scientific, and political-economic dimensions of the worldview of investor-turned-philanthropist John Templeton. Jordan's work emphasizes the intricate ways in which religious thought intersects with scientific and secular ideas.
