Templeton Press was founded in January 1997 as a program of Templeton Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit foundation established by Sir John Templeton.

Spiritual works can come from someone who either practices a specific religion, follows a certain tradition, or who does not participate in any specific religious or spiritual community. The key is that the work itself presents universal spiritual thought that embraces everyone and affirms that all positive thought or belief systems are possible paths to the "truth."

• Works combining spirituality and healing, particularly researched, written, or otherwise supported by traditional Western medicine in conjunction with Eastern, alternative, complementary, or integrative medicine; works that promote the mind-body-soul connection.

• Works promoting character-building education, such as guidebooks or any works promoting character-building curricula in schools. 

• Works in psychology and the social sciences, particularly those that explore the value and benefits of practices and attributes such as forgiveness, optimism and hope, wisdom, and other life-changing positive states as viewed from various research perspectives to illuminate the scientific foundations of effective living; how positive mindsets and virtues enhance the lives of individuals and, ultimately, the well-being of society.
