Jeffrey P. Schloss, Distinguished Professor of Biology at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California, chairs the college’s biology department and also serves as director of its Center for Faith, Ethics, and the Life Sciences (CFELS). He has long been interested in exploring the relationships between biology and Christian theology. An honors graduate of Wheaton College, he did graduate work at the University of Michigan and the University of Virginia and, awarded a Danforth Fellowship, went on to earn a Ph.D. in ecology and evolutionary biology at Washington University in St. Louis in 1983. Dr. Schloss had joined the biology faculty at Westmont two years earlier as an assistant professor. He was promoted to full professor and chair of biology in 1993 and named to his present academic position and director of CFELS in 2006. A fellow of the American Scientific Affiliation and a senior fellow at Emory University’s Center for Law and Religion, he has been a visiting lecturer at the University of Michigan Biological Station and the Wheaton College Science Station, a visiting faculty member in science and religion at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and a Crosson Fellow at the Center for Philosophy and Religion at the University of Notre Dame.

Dr. Schloss is a trustee and a member of the board of advisors of the Templeton Foundation. He serves as on the editorial boards of the Journal of the Biological Study of Religion, Science and Christian Belief, and the Journal of Theology and Science. In addition to publishing some twenty-five papers in scientific journals or as chapters in volumes of collected works, he is the co-editor (with Christopher Grace) of two special issues of the Journal of Psychology and Theology and of four books, including (with Stephen Post, Lynn Underwood, and William Hurlbut) Altruism and Altruistic Love: Science, Philosophy, and Religion in Dialogue (2002), the winner of a Templeton Science and Religion Book Award, (with Stephen Post, Byron Johnson, and Michael McCullough) Research on Altruism and Love: An Annotated Bibliography of Major Studies in Psychology, Sociology, Evolutionary Biology, and Theology (2003), (with Philip Clayton) Evolution and Ethics: Human Morality in Biological and Religious Perspectives (2004), and, most recently, (with Michael Murray) The Believing Primate: Philosophical and Theological Perspectives on the Origin of Religion, an assessment of scientific accounts of religion, which was published by Oxford University Press in 2009.
