Hi Karl E. (and James M.)
Yes I am still lurking here. However, since I subscribe to the digest
version of the ASA listserv it takes a extra day for postings to show up in
my mailbox.
I highly recommend Giberson's book, "Worlds Apart ..." I have loaned my
copy out several times and everyone returns it impressed. I believe that
the local Regis College has even used this book in some of its Theology &
Science type classes.
Karl E. has related most of what I know about Karl G. I haven't met Karl
G. personally but I know at least one friend/colleague of his. To amplify
Karl E.'s remark, Karl G. is the editor of and a frequent contributor to
the "Research News & Opportunities in Science and Theology" magazine
<http://www.researchnewsonline.org/>
James - You might want to also check out this publication for your
biography. See the above website for a free 6 month subscription (actually
free w/ no strings attached!).
While searching for the "Research News" URL, I also came across the
following sites:
Giberson's ENC Bio
http://alpha.enc.edu/physics/professors/giber.htm
and a recent article (2/8/03) in the Boston Daily Globe
http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/039/metro/Working_to_reconcile_science_religion+.shtml

Karl Giberson teaches physics at Eastern Nazarene College near Boston. He
is
also editor of the "newspaper-type" publication put out by the Templeton
organization (I can't remember the title...News & Views maybe). He and his
colleague Donald Yerxa frequently team-up on science-faith issues and are
fairly often in Books & Culture. If I remember correctly, within the past
year he did a 3-part series on Isaac Newton for B&C.
He also has several books out, including a new one with Yerxa. A search of
google and/or amazon.com should give you more info. I have not read his
books but have had them highly recommended; they apparently aim for an
educated layman/college student level.
By the way, his last name is pronounced with a long i -- the Gi rhymes with
by. Hope this helps; if my colleague Steve Smith is still lurking on this
list, he can tell you a lot more.
Karl
