Dr. Gordon's scholarly work focuses on interpretive questions at the intersection of quantum theory, cosmology, analytic metaphysics and philosophical theology, along with fine-tuning issues in physics and biology. The recipient of National Science Foundation and Templeton Foundation conference grants, he has published technical articles in philosophy of science journals and contributed to edited collections.

Dr. Spitzer of Gonzaga University, and is a co-editor and contributor to a compendium of essays entitled The Nature of Nature: Examining the Role of Naturalism in Science forthcoming from ISI Books. He is currently working on a series of articles that will lead to a book dealing with the relationship between quantum physics and theistic metaphysics.
