The John Templeton Award for Theological Promise recognizes the 12 best post-doctoral young scholars globally on the basis of their doctoral dissertations related to the topic of God and spirituality. An international and inter-religious panel of 25 judges evaluate the prize nominations. While primarily a theological prize, contributions from all academic disciplines and religious traditions are considered.

Each winner will be awarded $10,000 for the best doctoral dissertation or first post-doctoral book related to the topic "God and Spirituality." The award includes an additional stipend of up to $10,000 per winner for giving public lectures at the invitation of academic institutions.
