Joshua Daniel received his PhD in theology from the University of Chicago Divinity School, with a dissertation that compares H. Richard Niebuhr and educational theorist Paulo Friere around the theme of moral education from a pragmatist perspective. His research uses the lens of moral formation to address such topics as environmental ethics and the turn to dramatic and theatrical metaphors in Christian ethics. His abiding interest is in American religious thought.
Walter Gulick is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, Humanities, and Religious Studies at Montana State University, Billings. An undergraduate major in geology interested in issues of meaning and scope, he found Polanyi's background in science and embodied approach to synoptic knowledge much more congenial than the restricted argumentation of analytic philosophy. He served as president of the Polanyi Society and has been the book-review editor of the Society's journal, Tradition and Discovery, for over twenty years.
Joshua D. Reichard earned a PhD in human and social studies (religion and theology) at the University of the Western Cape, South Africa, where he researched theories of divine action under the supervision of the ecological theologian Ernst Conradie. Joshua is a member of the faculty at Oxford Graduate School, American Centre for Religion and Society Studies (Dayton, Tennessee, USA).

Among his books are Bonhoeffer's Theology, Borderland Christianity, Albert Camus on the Sacred and the Secular, The Existentialist Legacy, and Patterns in Western Civilization (coauthored; 4th edition). The present article and his article on Emerson and Stoicism in the May 2011 AJTP are part of a larger project examining various issues between the humanities and the sciences.
